Detroit (Oct. 6): Blocked for an offense that produced 449 yards and six scoring drives (five FGs, one TD). Had a key block on WR

Helped pro-tect Rodgers as he threw for 315 yards and a TD on 17-of-32 passing and blocked for a run game that produced 140 yards on 30 attempts (4.7 avg.)…At Minnesota (Oct. 27): Faced noted pass rusher Jared Allen almost exclusively throughout the game and prevented the five-time Pro Bowler from record-ing a tackle on 73 plays.

CAREER TRANSACTIONS•2013 Selected by Green Bay Packers as first of

three choices in the fourth round (129th overall) of ’13 NFL Draft, April 27...Signed first contract, May 10.

The Packers are one of a growing number of teams who do not leave their regular-season practice facility during training camp.

But beyond practice and meetings, the team does use a college setting to sleep, bunking at St. Norbert College in De Pere, a 10-minute drive from Lambeau Field.

The Packers’ 57-year training-camp relationship with St. Norbert, launched in 1958 by head coach Scooter McLean, is the longest in league history. The Vikings (Minnesota State-Mankato, 49 years) and Steelers (St. Vincent College, Latrobe, Pa., 49 years) are the only other teams with comparable training-camp tenures.

SAM BARRINGTON GAME-BY-GAME

Former Packers general manager Ron Wolf’s many accomplishments in Green Bay have been well-documented since his retire-ment in 2000. A finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2012, Wolf engineered one of the most impressive turnarounds in the his-tory of the sport after assuming control of the Packers’ football operation late in 1991. In the nine seasons under his leadership, Wolf’s teams posted a 92-52 regular-season record, played in two Super Bowls (high-lighted by their victory in Super Bowl XXXI, the franchise’s first in 29 years), and accounted for seven consecutive winning seasons and six straight playoff berths. All of that success, and yet Wolf’s enduring contribution to the organization and the league might lie in an entirely different realm. Wolf was initially ushered into the business and mentored by former Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders owner Al Davis in the 1960s. Following Wolf’s ascent, he placed an emphasis on paying that stewardship forward for young personnel types looking to develop the same knack for talent evaluation and procurement associated with his own career in the National Football League. Throughout his time at different stops, he shared his wealth of knowledge and training with scouts of all ages, men who have since gone on to have remark-able careers of their own running personnel departments across the league. Most impressively, Wolf’s lineage currently features general managers representing four NFL franchises, in addition to several other senior-level evaluators for other clubs and many of the high-ranking members of the personnel staff in Green Bay. A look at the collection of personnel men who have studied under Wolf:

BRANDON BOSTICK GAME-BY-GAME

RECEIVING CORPS CATCHES FIRE IN 2013 Billed as one of the deepest and most dangerous position groups in the NFL entering the season, the Packers’ collection of wide receivers did not disappoint in 2013. A group composed of Randall Cobb, James Jones, Jordy Nelson and Jarrett Boykin combined for 224 catches, 3,245 yards and 18 touchdowns during the regular season. Collectively, all Packers’ wide receivers tallied 234 catches for 3,319 yards. The yardage total and yards-per-game average ranked No. 2 in the NFL among receiving corps and was the second highest total in franchise records for the position group. A look at where the receivers’ collective totals ranked in the NFL in 2013 and in the history of the franchise:

Detroit (Dec. 9): Posted a 4-yard reception in the first half…At Minnesota (Dec. 30): Made one catch for 7 yards, a critical play in the fourth quarter that converted a fourth-and-1 at the Green Bay 43 on what was ultimately a game-tying TD drive. Caught the quick throw from Rod-gers despite CB A.J. Jefferson being flagged for pass interference on the play. Sustained an ankle injury on the play and even though he hung on to the ball, he was removed from the game and did not return. The injury would sideline him for both of Green Bay’s playoff contests…2012 Draft: Signed by Jacksonville as a non-drafted free agent on May 4, 2012. Was waived by the Jaguars on May 8.

PRO HIGHLIGHTS: ➤ Spent the entire 2013 season on injured reserve after sus-

taining a significant knee injury in the team’s annual Family Night scrimmage at Lambeau Field in early August.

➤ Played in 37 games with 33 starts at right tackle in his first three seasons as a pro.

➤ Part of a line that helped the Packers average 28.8 points per game from 2010-12, No. 3 in the NFL over that span, and 374.2 yards per game, No. 6 in the league.

➤ Was limited to nine games in 2012 after sustaining a sea-son-ending hip injury in the first half of the Week 9 contest vs. Arizona.

➤ Started all 12 games that he appeared in and allowed just one sack in 2011, according to STATS LLC.

➤ As a rookie in 2010, started the final 12 regular-season games and all four postseason contests at RT after taking over for veteran Mark Tauscher (shoulder).

➤ His 12 starts in ’10 were the most in the regular season by a Packers rookie tackle since Tauscher’s 14 in 2000.

➤ Named to the All-Rookie team by Pro Football Weekly/PFWA in 2010.

➤ Capped his impressive rookie season by becoming the youngest player, according to STATS LLC, to ever start in the Super Bowl (21 years, 322 days) and turned in a commendable performance against Pittsburgh pass rusher LaMarr Woodley.

➤ Was the fourth offensive tackle selected in the 2010 NFL Draft (No. 23 overall). Became the first offensive lineman to be selected in the first round by the Packers since Ross Verba in 1997 and the third Iowa offensive lineman to be selected in the first round in team history (Verba, Ron Hallstrom in 1982).

2013 SEASON: Spent the entire season on injured reserve after sustaining a significant knee injury during the team’s annual Family Night scrimmage at Lambeau Field on Aug. 3…Was working at left tackle during training camp after also spending the offseason on the left side…Was placed on injured reserve on Aug. 27.

2012: Opened each of the first nine games at RT before a hip injury cut short his season…Helped the offense rank No. 5 in the league in scoring (27.1) and No. 2 in fewest giveaways (16), which also was tied for the second-fewest turnovers in franchise history…Vs. San Francisco (Sept. 9): Part of a line that al-lowed QB Aaron Rodgers time to complete 30 of 44 passes for 303 yards and two TDs against a talented 49ers front seven…Vs. New Orleans (Sept. 30): Helped the offense register 421 yards and a season-high 30 first downs. Part of a line that did not allow a sack and helped Rodgers connect on 31 of 41 passes for 319 yards and four TDs…At Houston (Oct. 14): Member of a line that turned in an outstanding all-around performance in the 42-24 win against what was the NFL’s No. 3-ranked defense entering the game. Helped the offense produce 427 yards, in-cluding 338 passing yards and a franchise-record-tying six TD passes from Rodgers…At St. Louis (Oct. 21): Spent much of the game matched up with standout DE Chris Long, limiting him to just one assisted tackle and no sacks as Rodgers threw for 342 yards and three TDs with no INTs on 30-of-37 passing…

Vs. Arizona (Nov. 4): Suffered a hip injury on a second-quarter run by WR Randall Cobb, who had lined up in the backfield on the play. Did not return to the game and the injury was later deemed a season-ending one. Was placed on injured reserve on Nov. 12.

2011: Started all 12 games that he appeared in, as well as the team’s playoff contest…Helped the offense set franchise records for points (560), also the third most in NFL history, total net yards (6,482), total net passing yards (4,924) and fewest giveaways (14)…Blocked for Rodgers as he was named the NFL Most Valu-able Player by The Associated Press after setting an NFL single-sea-son record for passer rating (122.5) and team marks for touchdown passes (45), passing yards (4,643), yards per attempt (9.25), com-pletion percentage (68.3) and 300-yard games (eight)…Allowed just one sack on the season, according to STATS LLC…Started each of the first three games before suffering a knee injury at Chi-cago in Week 3, which forced him to miss the next two contests (vs. Denver, at Atlanta)…Sustained a sprain around his kneecap at Kansas City in Week 15 and was sidelined for the final two regular-season games vs. Chicago and Detroit…At Carolina (Sept. 18): Helped the offense register a 419-yard, 30-point outing and match a season low with only one sack allowed. Made a key drive block on DE Greg Hardy on RB James Starks’ game-long 40-yard run in the third quarter…At Minnesota (Oct. 23): Helped block for another prolific performance by Rodgers, one that saw him throw for 335 yards and three TDs en route to the second-highest passer rating of his career (146.5). Was an integral part of the “four-minute” situ-ational drive at the end of the game that allowed Starks to pound out 55 yards on six carries as the Packers ran out the final 2:30 in the win…Vs. Minnesota (Nov. 14): Helped the offense rack up 38 points and provided time for Rodgers to complete 23 of 30 passes for 250 yards and four TDs. It marked his third straight 140-plus rating game as Rodgers joined Kurt Warner (1999) as the only QBs in NFL history to accomplish that feat…At Detroit (Nov. 24): Helped silence a vaunted Detroit front, allowing Rodgers time to complete 22 of 33 passes for 307 yards and two TDs as he posted an NFL-record 11th straight game with a 110-plus passer rating…At N.Y. Giants (Dec. 4): Held up well in protection once again, facing several of the Giants’ talented linemen as the offense allowed only two sacks. Helped Rodgers throw for 369 yards, his franchise-record eighth 300-yard game of the season, and four TDs.

season-ending knee injury in the team’s annual Family Night scrimmage on Aug. 3.

• In just three seasons at Georgia Tech, intercepted 14 passes, two shy of the school’s career record.

• Earned second-team All-America and first-team All-ACC hon-ors as a sophomore in 2008, when he picked off seven passes and posted a career-high 93 tackles.

➤ Started each of the team’s 16 regular-season games in 2011, the first two at strong safety and the final 14 at free safety in place of an injured Nick Collins (neck), one of only two Green Bay defenders to start all 16 games (NT B.J. Raji).

➤ Despite the injury, continued to fill in the statistics sheet in first full season of action, posting a secondary-high 107 tack-les (83 solo) and a career-high 14 passes defensed. Added three interceptions, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and his first career sack.

➤ Was one of only two players on the team (CB Charles Woodson) to record a sack, an interception, a fumble recovery and a forced fumble in 2011.

➤ Posted three INTs in the season’s first three games, and combined with his one in the first four games of 2010, became the first Packer since S Chuck Cecil in 1988 to have four INTs in his first seven NFL games.

Giants (Nov. 17): Registered a season-high 13 tackles (eight solo)…At Detroit (Nov. 28): Posted 11 tackles and a career-high two fumble recoveries, the second of which he returned for his first-ever TD. Was involved in his first turnover play of the season when he scooped up a fumble forced by LB Clay Matthews on a carry by RB Reggie Bush at the Green Bay 2-yard line on Detroit’s opening drive. Later scored his first career TD in the second quarter when he picked up another fumble, this time courtesy of a strip sack of QB Matthew Stafford by LB Nick Perry at the Detroit 1-yard line, and crossed the goal line for the score…At Chicago (Dec. 29): Tallied three tackles (one solo), and recovered his career-high third fumble of the season late in the second quar-ter. On the recovery, picked up a ball that had been stripped from WR Alshon Jeffery by CB Tramon Williams.

2012: Solidified himself as a leader on the back end, starting every game for the second consecutive season and finishing second on defense with a career-high 137 tackles (97 solo)…Also posted a career-best two sacks, 13 passes defensed, two interceptions, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery…Became the leader of the young safety group after the vet-eran Woodson sustained a broken collarbone in Week 7 at St. Louis and missed the remainder of the regular season…

BURNETT

Moved over to start the final nine games at SS, pairing with a combination of second-year man M.D. Jennings and rookie Jerron McMillian, and helping to serve as the last line for a pass defense that ranked No. 4 in the NFL in opponent QB rat-ing (76.8)…According to league participation information, he appeared on all 1,088 of the Packers’ defensive snaps, one of only two defenders (Laurinaitis) and four non-offensive line-men in the NFL to achieve 100 percent participation in 2012…Vs. New Orleans (Sept. 30): Finished as the team’s lead-ing tackler with a season-high 13 stops (six solo) and a pass defensed. Made a key tackle for loss on a short pass from QB Drew Brees to RB Mark Ingram on a first-down play from the Green Bay 1-yard line in the third quarter. The subsequent two plays were incomplete passes and New Orleans was forced to attempt a FG on fourth down…Vs. Jacksonville (Oct. 28): Started at SS instead of his customary FS position due to Woodson’s injury, responding with a strong, well-rounded performance. Finished with 11 tackles (nine solo), a sack, both a forced and recovered fumble, and three passes de-fensed during the game. Tallied the second sack of his career when he came free on a blitz early in the third quarter and dropped QB Blaine Gabbert for a 16-yard loss, also manag-ing to jar the ball loose from Gabbert’s grasp on their way to the ground. Earlier in the game, recovered a fumble when he pounced on a loose ball that LB Brad Jones punched free from RB Rashad Jennings…At Detroit (Nov. 18): Posted a secondary-high nine tackles (eight solo) and his career-high second sack of the season, throwing Stafford for a 9-yard loss in the first quarter…Vs. Minnesota (Dec. 2): Had one of his most impactful games as a pro, making two game-chang-ing INTs inside the Green Bay 20-yard line in the third quarter with the Vikings threatening to score. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, he became the first Packer to record two INTs in the same game on plays that both started at the Green Bay 25-yard line or in since CB Doug Evans did so vs. Minnesota on Oct. 22, 1995. The first turnover came early in the second half when he intercepted a throw from QB Christian Ponder intended for WR Michael Jenkins in the end zone. Came back to haunt the Vikings again on the final play of the third quarter when he was matched against TE Kyle Rudolph, who he un-dercut on a deep crossing route toward the sideline, diving to pick off Ponder’s pass at the Green Bay 13. The pair of INTs marked the second multi-INT game of his career (also at Chi-cago, Sept. 25, 2011). Finished the game with a secondary-leading nine tackles (eight solo) and three passes defensed…At Chicago (Dec. 16): Part of a pass defense that limited Chicago to just 107 net passing yards and held them without a third-down conversion during the game. Finished with eight tackles (all solo), a forced fumble and a pass defensed. Fum-ble came late in the second quarter after he punched the ball

loose from WR Brandon Marshall near the line of scrimmage, but it was recovered by Bears T Jonathan Scott. 2011: Hit the ground running in training camp, quickly re-claiming his starting position at SS opposite the veteran Collins in the defensive backfield…Wound up starting all 16 games of the regular season, joining Raji as the only two de-fensive players to do so…Opened the first two games at SS, but played out the remaining 14 at FS following a season-ending neck injury to Collins in Week 2…Suffered an injury of his own when he sustained a fracture in his right hand during practice leading up to the team’s Week 6 game vs. St. Louis…Played the ensuing six contests with a cast covering his hand, but still managed to set what were then career highs in every major statistical category…Led the secondary and finished second on the team with 107 tackles (83 solo) and posted 14 passes defensed, three INTs, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and a sack…Joined Woodson as the only two play-ers on the team to record a sack, an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery during the season…Vs. New Orleans (Sept. 8): Started his first regular-season game since Week 4 of 2010 and picked up where he left off, posting a career-high and team-leading 14 tackles (nine solo) from the SS position. Most critical tackle came on the game’s final play, when he came over the top of the first wave of defenders at the goal line and teamed with Matthews to stop Ingram from advancing as time expired, preserving the 42-34 win…At Carolina (Sept. 18): Showed his dynamic array of skills throughout the game, finishing with three tackles (all solo), a sack, a forced fumble and an INT. Forced fumble came when he punched the ball out from WR Steve Smith following a 25-yard gain in the third quarter and it was recovered by Wood-son. On the following possession, made his third career INT on an overthrown ball by former Atlanta high school foe, QB Cam Newton. First career sack came later when his cover-age responsibility, TE Greg Olsen, stayed in to block and he chased a rolling Newton to the right sideline, dropping him for a 3-yard loss. Became the first Packers defender since Woodson (Nov. 26, 2009, at Detroit) to record a sack, INT and forced fumble in the same game…At Chicago (Sept. 25): Led the secondary and placed second on the defense with six tackles (all solo) and two passes defensed, posting the first two-INT game of his young career. Flashed his im-pressive range on the first INT in the first quarter when he came from the hashes to haul in a deep QB Jay Cutler pass intended for WR Roy Williams along the Chicago sideline. The second INT came early in the fourth quarter when Cutler sailed a throw to Williams and he reached back to make the INT. With the two INTs, became the first Packer since Cecil in 1988 to record four INTs in his first seven NFL games. Also teamed

• The Packers adopted their first and only helmet logo in 1961. Vince Lombardi, coach and gen-eral manager at the time, decided to add the “G” emblem to the team’s gold helmets.

• Only two other teams have made no significant changes (including color alterations) since the “G” first went on the Packers helmet in ’61. The Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts have sported their blue horseshoe since 1959. The Cleveland Browns shifted to “bald” helmets in 1960. The Pitts-burgh Steelers introduced their unique helmets, with one bald side, the year after the Packers added the “G,” in 1962.

• The “G” is one of the most recognizable team marks in sports, borrowed by several colleges and high schools, including Grambling State and the University of Georgia. As can best be de-termined at this point, just a small group was involved in creating the Packers’ “G.” It included Lombardi; Dad Braisher, his equipment manager; John Gordon, a part-time assistant to Braisher and an art student at St. Norbert College at the time; and Romo Display Advertising Inc., which took Gordon’s original drawing and turned it into an artistic rendering.

• The actual raised helmet “G” oval measures 3.125 inches at its tallest point, and 5 inches at its widest point. The thick decal is applied to each Riddell helmet by current equipment manager Red Batty and his staff.

• The middle white stripe is exactly 1 inch wide; the two green stripes are each 11/16 of an inch.

with Woodson to become the first Packers teammates to reg-ister two-INT games in back-to-back weeks since Cecil and CB Ron Pitts did so in Weeks 5-6 in 1988…Vs. St. Louis (Oct. 16): Suffered a fracture in his right hand at practice during the week and played the game with a club cast. Still managed to place third on the defense with 10 tackles (five solo) and posted his second forced fumble of the season. Lowered his shoulder into the back of RB Steven Jackson on a fourth-quarter carry, jarring the ball loose on impact, though it was recovered by St. Louis…Vs. Detroit (Jan. 1): Made six tackles (five solo) and added two passes defensed and a fumble recovery. Was involved in his fifth turnover play of the season when he picked up a fumble caused by LB Des-mond Bishop in the first quarter and returned it 15 yards. The Green Bay offense would score a TD seven plays later…Vs. N.Y. Giants (NFC Divisional, Jan. 15): Made his playoff debut, finishing with five tackles (four solo), two passes de-fensed and an INT. The INT came in the second quarter after he’d dropped into a zone coverage and dove forward to catch an overthrown pass from QB Eli Manning intended for WR Hakeem Nicks, returning it 12 yards on what was the Giants’ lone turnover of the game. 2010: Opened the first four games of the season at SS be-fore sustaining a season-ending injury to his left knee in Week 4 vs. Detroit…Recorded 15 tackles (12 solo) and an intercep-tion in four games…Placed on injured reserve on Oct. 7…At Philadelphia (Sept. 12): Joined teammate Collins (2005) and Flynn (1984) as the only Packers rookie safeties to start a season opener since the 1970 merger. Recorded four tackles (three solo), tied for second among DBs, in his NFL debut. Part of a secondary that limited WRs Jeremy Maclin and DeSean Jackson to a combined eight catches for 68 yards. Along with CB Sam Shields, who started at nickel CB, became the first Green Bay rookie defensive-back tandem to start the season opener since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970. They were the first rookie duo to both start a regular-season game in the secondary since Collins and CB Mike Hawkins did so at Balti-more (Dec. 19, 2005)…Vs. Buffalo (Sept. 19): Posted his

first career interception in the 34-7 win over his former col-lege coach, Bills head coach Chan Gailey. On the Bills’ open-ing drive of the fourth quarter, attacked the line of scrimmage before the snap and met WR Roscoe Parrish immediately as a Trent Edwards pass arrived, wrestling the ball away for his first career INT at the Green Bay 43. The turnover led to a five-play, 52-yard TD drive that put the Packers ahead, 34-7. Added four tackles (three solo) and a pass defensed, includ-ing a stop of RB Marshawn Lynch for no gain up the middle on the play before his INT…Vs. Detroit (Oct. 3): Posted three tackles (two solo) in 23 snaps, but suffered a torn ACL in his left knee, ending his debut season…2010 Draft: Se-lected by the Packers in the third round with the No. 71 overall pick. Green Bay traded up 15 spots, from No. 86, to get him by surrendering that selection plus a fourth-round pick (No. 122 overall) to the Philadelphia Eagles, the third straight year Thompson moved up in the draft to select a defensive player. Became the first player drafted by the Packers out of Georgia Tech since WR Charlie Simmons (sixth round, 1995) and was the highest-drafted safety out of Georgia Tech since Travares Tillman (Buffalo, 2000, second round, No. 58 overall).

COLLEGE: Intercepted 14 passes in three seasons for the Yellow Jackets, which was tied for second most in school his-tory at the time of his departure, behind only the 16 of Willie Clay (1988-91)…Also compiled 235 career tackles (147 solo), eighth most at the time by a Georgia Tech defensive back and just five tackles shy of cracking the top five…Played in 40 career games, starting 28, with all but one start coming at S (the other at CB)…Had 13½ tackles for a loss, includ-ing one sack, plus two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and 27 passes defensed…Majored in management…Junior season (2009): A second-team All-Atlantic Coast Confer-ence pick and team captain, he was a preseason candidate for the Jim Thorpe and Bronko Nagurski awards…Started all 14 games despite playing four contests with a cast on his hand for a broken thumb, leading the team in INTs for the third straight year and ranking second in tackles…Registered 85 tackles (48 solo), four tackles for a loss, four INTs, eight passes defensed,

Aggravated the hamstring dur-ing the game and would be sidelined for the next two contests…At Minnesota (Oct. 27): Returned to the field once again, appearing on special teams.

Atlanta (Dec. 8): Served as the team’s No. 4 CB and turned in a memorable performance with a pair of game-deciding plays late in the fourth quarter. The first came on a fourth-and-5 from the Packers’ 33-yard line with the Falcons trailing by a point and needing to get the first down to get into FG range. On the play, lined up in the right slot against Pro Bowl TE Tony Gonzalez. Mirrored Gonzalez on a short out-route beyond the first-down marker and collided with him as the ball arrived, jarring the ball loose to force a critical turnover on downs. The Falcons would get the ball back with less than a minute remaining, embarking on a desperation drive to again get into FG range. On third down with 11 seconds to play, stepped in front of a QB Matt Ryan pass intended for WR Harry Douglas, sealing the victory for the Packers…At Chi-cago (Dec. 29): Played on both defense and special teams. Saw action on 11 defensive plays and finished with a solo tackle and a pass defensed.

Chicago (Sept. 13): Returned to his role on special teams, where he tallied another tackle on the kickoff unit. Helped limit WR Devin Hester to just two punt returns for 8 yards (4.0 avg.) as a mem-ber of the punting unit that landed three kicks inside the 20-yard line…At St. Louis (Oct. 21): Recorded a tackle on the kickoff coverage unit and also played a role in the Packers’ recovery of a surprise onside kick in the first quarter. On the play, wiped out CB Trumaine Johnson after he had leapt to receive the ball, teaming with Jennings to jar it loose and allowing LB Jamari Lattimore to come up with it. The ensuing possession resulted in a 47-yard FG by Crosby…Vs. Arizona (Nov. 4): Keyed a special teams coverage effort that helped the Packers win the field-position battle by 263 yards during the game (579-316) and limited talented return man CB Patrick Peterson to just four punt returns for 19 yards (4.8 avg.). Was also the first man down on a punt near the end of the fourth quarter, coming up with the football after Peterson had muffed the catch.

Had one of the key blocks on WR Randall Cobb’s then-NFL-record-tying 108-yard KR-TD when he joined with TE Andrew Quarless to combination-block DE Junior Galette and maintained the play long enough to get Cobb into the open field…At Carolina (Sept. 18): Saw extended ac-tion as the nickel CB in the absence of regular starter Williams (shoulder) and recorded a career-high seven tackles (six solo) and a pass defensed…At Chicago (Sept. 25): Appeared on seven snaps on defense, but made them count, recording the first full sack of his career and a pass defensed in his limited scrimmage action.

Pittsburgh (Su-per Bowl XLV, Feb. 6): Had an excellent all-around perfor-mance, first in his usual role on special teams and then when he saw significant playing time on defense following injuries in the secondary. Posted two tackles in punt coverage, helping limit WR Antonio Brown to just 5 yards on six returns. Was pressed into extended defensive duty in place of CBs Shields (shoulder) and Charles Woodson (collarbone) after injuries decimated the secondary late in the first half. Finished with three tackles (two solo) and an INT, his first-ever pick in the postseason and sec-ond of his career. Picked up a crossing WR Mike Wallace with 4:35 left in the second quarter, reading QB Ben Roethlisberger’s pass to beat Wallace to the ball. Came up with the INT at the Green Bay 46 and returned it 1 yard to the 47; the Packers would score a TD four plays later to go ahead 21-3.

2009: Played in all 16 games, starting a career-high three contests…Worked primarily as the dime back and backup safe-ty during the first half of the season, but saw significant action down the stretch at the nickel CB position after Harris was lost to a knee injury in Week 11…Williams moved into the starting RCB spot with Bush moving into Williams’ nickel role…Posted a career-best 26 tackles (22 solo), an INT and seven passes defensed…Added 10 tackles on special teams…On the field for a team-high 76.6 percent of the club’s special teams plays…Vs.

Detroit (Oct. 6): Posted a ca-reer-long 67-yard run off left tackle in the third quarter, the longest run by a Packer since RB Brandon Jackson’s 71-yarder at Washington on Oct. 10, 2010. It was the longest by a Green Bay WR since James Lofton’s 83-yard TD at the N.Y. Gi-ants on Sept. 20, 1982. Combined with WR James Jones’ 83-yard TD catch in the game, it marked the first time an NFL team had both a 65-yard run and an 80-yard pass in the same contest since the L.A. Raiders did so on Nov. 5, 1989…At Baltimore (Oct. 13): Made four catches for 53 yards (13.3 avg.) in the first two quarters before suffer-ing a knee injury before halftime that forced him from the game. Caught a 15-yard pass from QB Aaron Rodgers down to the Ravens’ 11-yard line with less than a minute remaining in the first half, but took a low hit on his knee from S Matt Elam. The injury would sideline him for the next 10 games…At Chi-cago (Dec. 29): Was activated to the 53-man roster the day before the game and made a memorable return to the lineup. Caught a game-winning 48-yard TD pass from Rodgers on a fourth-down play with 38 seconds remaining to clinch a third consecutive NFC North title for the Packers. With Green Bay trailing 28-27 and facing a fourth-and-8, adjusted his route in response to the coverage of S Chris Conte, who was play-ing him to stop near the first-down marker. Sped past Conte on a go-route down the middle of the field, catching the ball near the Chicago 10 and then charging forward before being tackled into the end zone by CB Zack Bowman. Also scored on his other reception, a 7-yard play in the third quarter, finishing with the two catches for 55 yards (27.5 avg.) and two TDs…Vs. San Francisco (Jan. 5): Started as the No. 3 WR and caught two passes for 51 yards (25.5 avg.). Also served as the team’s kickoff returner, taking back four kicks for 87 yards (21.8 avg.).

2012: Played in 15 games with eight starts and also started both postseason contests…Led the team in receptions (80) and receiving yards (954) and finished second with eight TD catches…Set a franchise single-season record with 2,342 combined net yards (954 receiving, 132 rushing, 964 kick-off return, 292 punt return), topping the previous team mark of 2,250 yards by Green in 2003…Also led the league in the category, becoming the first Packer to accomplish that feat since Williams did so in 1969 with 1,517 yards…Became the first player in NFL history to post 900-plus receiving yards and 900-plus kickoff return yards in the same season…Was named a first alternate for the Pro Bowl at kick returner…Averaged 25.4 yards on 38 kickoff returns and 9.4 yards on 31 punt returns (with a TD)…Over his last 12 games, caught 69 passes for 858 yards (12.4 avg.) and eight TDs…His sev-en TD grabs in his last nine games (Weeks 7-16) were tied for No. 4 in the NFL over that span…Vs. San Francisco (Sept. 9): Opened the season with a bang for the second consecutive year, returning a fourth-quarter punt 75 yards for a TD, his third kick return score (two punts, one kickoff) in just his 16th career regular-season game. Became the first player in NFL history to score on a kick return (punt or kickoff) in Week 1 each of his first two seasons in the league. Also caught a career-high nine passes for 77 yards (8.6 avg.)…

Vs. New Orleans (Sept. 30): Finished with seven catches for 66 yards (9.4 avg.), seeing extended action in the sec-ond half after WR Greg Jennings left the game with a groin injury…At Indianapolis (Oct. 7): Again saw increased action with Jennings sidelined and posted four catches for a team-high 82 yards (20.5 avg.) and a TD, his first receiving score of the season…At Houston (Oct. 14): Recorded his first career 100-yard receiving game, hauling in seven passes for 102 yards (14.6 avg.). Returned three kickoffs for 86 yards (28.7 avg.), highlighted by a season-long 46-yarder late in the third quarter that ignited another TD drive…At St. Louis (Oct. 21): Caught eight passes for 89 yards (11.1 avg.) and two TDs, the first multi-TD receiving outing of his career…Vs. Arizona (Nov. 4): Matched his career high with two TD catches and finished with three receptions for 37 yards (12.3 avg.) on the afternoon…At Detroit (Nov. 18): Tied his ca-reer high with nine catches for 74 yards (8.2 avg.), highlighted by a game-winning 22-yard TD catch with 1:55 remaining that gave Green Bay a 21-20 lead in the 24-20 victory. The catch came on a corner route against CB Jacob Lacey as he hauled in the pass from Rodgers while avoiding S Ricardo Silva, who converged on the play just after the ball arrived…Vs. Detroit (Dec. 9): Notched his second 100-yard receiving game of the season, matching the 102-yard effort he posted at Houston in Week 6. Totaled a team-high seven grabs for 102 yards (14.6 avg.)…At Chicago (Dec. 16): Posted his second straight 100-yard effort, racking up a career-best 115 yards on six catches (19.2 avg.). Did not find the end zone, but almost all of the catches were critical, drive-extending plays that helped stake Green Bay to a 21-7 lead in the division-clinching win…Vs. Tennessee (Dec. 23): Eclipsed Green’s single-season franchise record for combined net yards on his first touch, a 14-yard punt return in the first quarter. Hauled in three passes for 62 yards (20.7 avg.) and a TD. Sustained an ankle injury on a third-quarter punt return, one that would sideline him for the remainder of the contest as well as the regular-season finale at Minnesota…At San Francisco (NFC Divisional, Jan. 12): Caught five passes for 24 yards (4.8 avg.) and rushed for 23 yards on two carries (11.5 avg.). Also assumed return duties in the second quarter and brought back four kickoffs for 71 yards (17.8 avg.).

NFL in kickoff return average (27.7) and No. 7 in the league in punt return average (11.3)…Set a franchise rookie record with 941 kickoff return yards…Became the first player in franchise history and the first NFL rookie since the merger to record a 100-yard kickoff return and an 80-yard punt return in the same season…Became the first Packer since Preston (1998) to register a punt return for a TD and a kickoff return for a score in the same season…Caught 25 passes for 375 yards (15.0 avg.) and a TD and rushed for 5 yards on two carries (2.5 avg.)…Missed the season finale vs. Detroit (Jan. 1) due to a groin injury he sustained the previous week vs. Chicago…Vs. New Orleans (Sept. 8): Exploded onto the NFL landscape with a 108-yard kickoff return for a TD in the third quarter, which matched Patriots CB Ellis Hobbs’ return (Sept. 9, 2007) for the longest kickoff return in NFL history at the time. The return would go on to be named the “NFL Play of the Year” at the league’s awards ceremony. Nearly lost his footing near the Green Bay 20 after spinning out of a hit by CB Leigh Torrence, but was held up by teammate John Kuhn, returned to his feet and went the rest of the way un-touched for the score. Marked the Packers’ first kickoff return TD since Allen Rossum’s 92-yarder vs. Indianapolis (Nov. 19, 2000) and bested Carmichael’s previous franchise record (106 yards) for the longest kickoff return in team annals. At 21 years, 17 days old, became the youngest NFL player to return a kickoff for a TD since the Chicago Bears’ Andy Livingston did so on Dec. 13, 1964 (20 years, 53 days). The kickoff score marked Cobb’s second TD of the game as he made his way into the end zone in the first quarter on a 32-yard catch-and-run from Rodgers. Became the first Packer since WR Javon Walker (Sept. 8, 2002) to catch a TD pass in his pro debut. Became just the second player in NFL history to catch a TD pass and score on a kickoff return in his pro debut, joining Detroit’s Bill Bowman (vs. Chicago, Sept. 26, 1954). Became the first Packer to post both in a game since Wuert Engelmann on Oct. 25, 1931, vs. Providence…Vs. Denver (Oct. 2): Finished with two receptions for a season-high 75 yards (37.5 avg.), highlighted by a career-long 61-yard grab late in the third quarter. It marked the longest reception by a Green Bay rookie since Jones’ 79-yard TD at Denver on Oct. 29, 2007…Vs. Minnesota (Nov. 14): Made another splash on national television, this one coming on Monday Night Football as he returned the first punt of the game 80 yards for a TD. The play made him the first rookie in team history to post a punt return for a score and a kickoff return for a TD in the same season and marked the first punt return for a TD by a Packer since CB Will Blackmon’s 65-yarder at Minnesota on Nov. 9, 2008. Added a 55-yard kickoff return in the third quarter to set up a TD as he became the first NFL player since Kansas City’s Dante Hall (Dec. 8, 2002) to post an 80-plus-yard punt return and a 55-plus-yard kickoff return in the same game and the

first Packer to do so since Williams (Nov. 2, 1969)…At Kan-sas City (Dec. 18): Saw increased time on offense with Jennings sidelined with a knee injury and led the team with a season-high four catches for 53 yards (13.3 avg.)...2011 Draft: Was selected by the Packers in the second round (No. 64 overall). Became the Packers’ highest draft pick from Ken-tucky since QB Babe Parilli was selected No. 4 overall in 1952. Was the first player drafted by Green Bay from Kentucky since DT Bill Bushong (seventh round) in 1972.

COLLEGE: Played in 36 games with 33 starts, catching 144 passes for 1,661 yards (11.5 avg.) and 13 TDs, and rush-ing for 1,313 yards and 22 TDs on 228 carries (5.8 avg.)…Completed 62 of 122 passes for 689 yards and five TDs with five INTs…Averaged 9.8 yards on 63 punt returns with two TDs and posted a 24.6-yard average on 44 career kickoff returns…Holds the Kentucky career record for TDs with 37 while ranking fourth in career scoring with 226 points…Was a teammate of Packers P Tim Masthay with the Wildcats…Majored in community communications and leadership development…Junior season (2010): First-team All-America selection as an all-purpose player by three services (The Associated Press, ESPN.com, SportsIllustrated.com) and a consensus first-team All-SEC pick…Was a finalist for the Paul Hornung Award as the most versatile player in the country…Was the only player in FBS to rank first or second on his team in receiving, rushing and passing…Set the SEC single-season record for all-purpose yards with 2,396, top-ping the previous mark of 2,310 held by Arkansas RB Dar-ren McFadden (2007)…Set the school single-season record for all-purpose yards per play (min. 150 plays) with a 12.1 average…Accounted for scores in eight different ways on the season with rushing, passing, receiving and punt-return TDs, throwing a TD pass on a fake field goal, and posting two-point conversions by rushing, passing and receiving…Led the team with 84 receptions for 1,017 yards (12.1 avg.) and seven TDs…Led the conference in catches per game and recorded four 100-yard games…Finished second on the team with 424 rushing yards and five TDs on 55 carries (7.7 avg.)…Also returned 31 kickoffs for 736 yards (23.7 avg.) and 28 punts for 219 yards (7.8 avg.) and a TD…Named Na-tional Wide Receiver/Running Back of the Week by the College Football Performance Awards vs. Auburn (Oct. 9) as he had a hand in all four UK touchdowns in the team’s 37-34 loss to the eventual national champions. Rushed for two scores, caught a 16-yard TD, and threw a 6-yard TD pass…Rushed 10 times for a career-best 170 yards (17.0 avg.) and two TDs vs. Vanderbilt (Nov. 13)…Caught a career-high 13 passes for 116 yards (8.9 avg.) at Tennessee (Nov. 27), the second-most receptions in a game in school history…Sophomore sea-son (2009): Earned first-team All-SEC recognition as an all-

A SEASON FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES Wide receiver Randall Cobb burst onto the scene in 2011 when he earned NFC Pro Bowl alternate status as a kick returner and was named to the prestigious Pro Football Weekly/PFWA All-Rookie team. He ranked No. 2 in the NFL in kickoff return average (27.7) and became the first Packers rookie to return both a kickoff and a punt for a TD in the same season. A versatile threat with untapped potential on offense, the question quickly became, what would he do for an encore? Cobb answered that question emphatically in 2012, being voted the first alternate for the Pro Bowl as a return man and proving himself to be one of the most dynamic weapons in the league. He paired his prowess as a returner with an expanded role on offense that saw him post a team-high 80 catches, en route to becoming the first player in NFL history to have more than 900-plus receiving yards (954) and 900-plus kickoff return yards (964) in the same season. Combining those two totals with his 292 yards on punt returns and an additional 132 yards on carries out of the backfield, he set the franchise record for all-purpose yardage in Week 16 vs. Tennessee. A look at the top single-season all-purpose yardage totals in franchise history:

In the Green Bay Press-Gazette on Aug. 29, 1919, two weeks before the team’s first organized game, sports editor and Packers co-founder George Calhoun first publicly identified the team as the “Indian Packers.”

Curly Lambeau received $500 from his employer, the Indian Packing Co., for uniforms and equipment, and for use of the company’s lot for practice. In exchange, Lambeau and Calhoun agreed to call the team “Packers.” Early fans, many of whom were working-class citizens, immediately embraced the name, widely publicized by Calhoun.

Calhoun also called them simply “Indians” briefly in 1919, but that moniker seemed to fold with the company, soon purchased – along with the team – by Acme Packing Co. In 1921, the team’s first season in what is now the NFL, its owners had “Acme Packers” put on the jersey, setting the name in stone.

While “Packers” has served as the primary nickname since the team’s embryonic stages, fans and sportswriters also have called them the Big Bay Blues, or the Bays. Lambeau in 1922 applied with the name “Blues,” but public opinion quickly vetoed him.

A packer is someone who works at a packing house, an establishment for slaughtering, processing and packing livestock into meat, meat products and byproducts. “Green Bay Packers” is the longest-standing team name in NFL history.

MIKE DANIELSDEFENSIVE TACKLE • IOWAThird NFL Season • Third Packers Season

Ht: 6-0 Wt: 305 • Born: May 5, 1989 • NFL Games Played/Started: 30/1 • Acquired: D4a-12

AT A GLANCE …• Emerged as a force in his second season in 2013, tying for sixth

in the NFL among DTs with 6½ sacks, the most in a season by a Green Bay defensive lineman since NT B.J. Raji posted the same total in 2010.

• Made steady contributions as a rookie in 2012, appearing in 14 games and finishing with 19 tackles (11 solo), two sacks, a team-high two fumble recoveries and a pass defensed.

• Returned one of the fumble recoveries 43 yards for a TD, mark-ing the longest fumble return for a TD by a rookie in franchise history. Also became first Green Bay rookie defensive lineman to score on a fumble return since Ernie Pannell (at Pittsburgh, Nov. 23, 1941).

• An undersized but especially productive college player who starred as an interior pass rusher for the Hawkeyes, posting a team-high 24½ tackles for loss and 13 sacks from 2010-11.

• Earned second-team All-Big Ten Conference honors from the league’s coaches following his senior season in 2011 after starting all 13 games and finishing with a career-high 67 tack-les (32 solo) and nine sacks. Sack total ranked third in the Big Ten and 24th nationally.

• Father, Mike Sr., played baseball at Rutgers-Camden, and his brother, Sean, played LB at Temple University.

PRO HIGHLIGHTS: ➤ Became a prominent part of the rotation on the defensive

line in his second season in 2013, playing in all 16 games with one start and serving as one of the featured interior rushers in the team’s nickel defense.

➤ For the season, posted a career-high 37 tackles (22 solo) and ranked second on the club with a career-best 6½ sacks. The sack total tied for sixth among all NFL DTs and was the most by a Packers defensive lineman since NT B.J. Raji posted the same number in 2010.

➤ Appeared in 14 regular season games and both playoff contests as a rookie in 2012, playing mostly in the defensive sub-packages as an interior pass rusher and also at times on special teams. Finished with 19 tackles (11 solo), two sacks, a team-leading two fumble recoveries and a pass defensed.

➤ Both of his fumble recoveries came in games against De-troit, the second of which he returned for a 43-yard TD in Week 14, the longest fumble return for a score by a rookie in fran-chise history. Also became the first Packers rookie defensive lineman to return a fumble for a score since Ernie Pannell at Pittsburgh, Nov. 23, 1941.

➤ Joined Dezman Moses, Nick Perry and Jerel Worthy as one of four rookie defenders to record a sack in 2012 and was part of a Green Bay defense that saw 15 different players do so dur-ing the regular season. That total was the second highest in the NFL in 2012 and also tied a franchise record (1987).

2013 SEASON: Made impressive developmental strides in his second season, becoming a difference-maker as an in-terior pass rusher in the team’s sub-defenses…Appeared in all 16 games with one start, playing 532 snaps and posting new career highs with 37 tackles (22 solo) and 6½ sacks…The sack total tied him with San Franscisco’s Justin Smith for sixth place among all NFL DTs and ranked second on the defense behind LB Clay Matthews (7½)…At Cincinnati (Sept. 22): Finished with two tackles (both solo) and his first sack of the season. Sack came on a third down in the third quarter when he hustled to fight off LG Clint Boling to drop QB Andy Dalton for a 3-yard loss…At Minnesota (Oct. 27): Led the defensive line by appearing on 29 plays and delivered an impactful performance, recording three tackles (two solo), a career-high two sacks, two QB hits and two pressures dur-ing the game. First sack came just before halftime when he walked C John Sullivan back into the pocket and shed him in time to take down QB Christian Ponder for a 6-yard loss. Later in the third quarter, rushed to the inside against G Charlie Johnson on a third down and disengaged to sack Ponder for a 7-yard loss, forcing a punt…At Dallas (Dec. 15): Played on a defensive-line-leading 43 plays and finished with two solo tackles, including one for loss, a sack, two pressures and a QB hit. Sack came in the second quarter when he bulled himself into G Mackenzy Bernadeau and then stepped to the inside past C Travis Frederick, before bursting into the backfield to throw QB Tony Romo for an 11-yard loss. Also appeared as an extra blocker on offense late in the fourth quarter, join-ing fellow Raji in the backfield to help clear the way for RB Eddie Lacy’s game-winning 1-yard TD plunge…Vs. San Francisco (NFC Wild Card, Jan. 5): Started at RDE and

saw action on 35 defensive snaps, finishing with four tackles (three solo, one for loss) and a sack. On the sack play, rushed to the inside against C Jonathan Goodwin, shoving him into the backfield before disengaging to drag QB Colin Kaepernick down as he attempted to escape the pocket. 2012: Despite missing most of the offseason program while recovering from shoulder surgery, had an active training camp and worked his way into the lineup early in the regular season…Was used primarily in the team’s sub-packages, but also saw action in the base defense in addition to playing on special teams…Played in 14 regular-season games and each of the team’s two playoff contests, finishing the season with 19 tackles (11 solo), two sacks, a team-best two fumble re-coveries and a pass defensed...Also added four tackles (one solo) in the postseason…With his 43-yard fumble return for a TD vs. Detroit in Week 14, eclipsed Matthews’ record for the longest fumble return for a TD by a rookie in franchise his-tory (42 yards, at Minnesota, Oct. 5, 2009)…Also became the club’s first rookie DL to score on a fumble return since Ernie Pannell (at Pittsburgh, Nov. 23, 1941)...Vs. Chicago (Sept. 13): Made his NFL debut against the division-rival Bears, ap-pearing on 14 plays and finishing with one solo tackle that also went as his first career sack. Sack came when he fought off a block from veteran C Roberto Garza and wrapped up QB Jay Cutler for a 1-yard loss...Vs. Arizona (Nov. 4): Saw increased action with fellow rookie DE Worthy sidelined due to the effects of a concussion. Appeared on 20 plays and fin-ished with three tackles (two solo) and his second sack of the season. Made the sack after executing a twist with Matthews, looping around the outside of the protection and closing quickly on QB John Skelton, dropping him for a 10-yard loss to help stall a two-minute drive before halftime…At Detroit (Nov. 18): Made his first career fumble recovery just before halftime, falling on a ball that was slapped from the grip of QB

MODIFIED SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIMEFor the 2010 postseason, the NFL installed a modified sudden death system to determine the winner when the score is tied at the end of regulation. Beginning in 2012, the system has been expanded to cover all NFL games, including regular-season and preseason games.

Modified sudden death guarantees each team a possession or the opportunity to possess, unless the team that receives the opening kickoff scores a touchdown on its initial possession. Possession: Actual possession of the ball with complete con-trol. The defense gains possession when it catches, intercepts, or recovers a loose ball.

Opportunity to possess: The opportunity to possess occurs only during kicking plays. A kickoff is an opportunity to possess for the receiving team. If the kicking team legally recovers the kick, the receiving team is considered to have had its opportu-nity. A punt or a field goal that crosses the line of scrimmage and is muffed by the receiving team is considered to be an opportunity to possess for the receivers. Normal touching rules by the kicking team apply.

REGULAR SEASON• At the end of regulation time the Referee will immediately toss a coin at the center of the field in accordance with rules pertaining to the usual pregame toss. The captain of the visiting team will call the toss prior to the coin being flipped.• Following a three-minute intermission after the end of the regulation game, there shall be a maximum of one 15-minute period. Each team must possess or have the opportunity to possess the ball unless the team that has the ball first scores a

touchdown on its initial possession. Play continues in sudden death until a winner is determined, and the game automati-cally ends upon any score (by safety, field goal, or touchdown) or when a score is awarded by Referee for a palpably unfair act. Each team shall be entitled to two timeouts, and if there is an excess timeout, the usual rules shall apply. A try is not attempted if a touchdown is scored. Disqualified players are not allowed to return.• If the score is tied at the end of the 15-minute overtime period, the game shall result in a tie.• Instant Replay: No challenges. Reviews to be initiated by thereplay assistant.

POSTSEASON• At the end of regulation time the Referee will immediately toss a coin at the center of the field in accordance with rules pertaining to the usual pregame toss. The captain of the visiting team will call the toss prior to the coin being flipped.• Following a three-minute intermission after the end of the regulation game, play will be continued in 15-minute periods until a winner is declared. Each team must possess or have the opportunity to possess the ball unless the team that has the ball first scores a touchdown on its initial possession. Play con-tinues in sudden death until a winner is determined, and the game automatically ends upon any score (by safety, field goal, or touchdown) or when a score is awarded by the Referee for a palpably unfair act. Each team has three timeouts per half and all general timing provisions apply as during a regular game. A try is not attempted if a touchdown is scored. Disqualified players are not allowed to return.• Instant Replay: No challenges. Reviews to be initiated by the replay assistant.

DRAFT-ORDER TIES

Draft-order ties are resolved by the cumulative record of each team’s opponents. The team with the weaker opponents receives drafting priority. Within a tied segment, non-playoff clubs are given priority over playoff clubs. For the teams that do make the postseason, there will be a reseeding based on how far they go in the playoffs. The losers of the wild-card contests will be seeded 21-24 based on their records. The losers of the divisional games will be slotted 25-28, and teams losing in the conference championship games will be picks No. 29 and No. 30. The Super Bowl loser will pick 31st, with the Super Bowl winner picking last at No. 32.

FLYNN

2012: Was active for all 16 games for Seattle, appearing in three of them as the backup to Wilson…Completed 5 of 9 passes (55.6 percent) for 68 yards…Was also active for both of the Seahawks’ playoff contests, but did not play…Signed with Seattle as an un-restricted free agent on March 21…Vs. Arizona (Dec. 9): Saw his first action as a Seahawk, playing most of the second half and connecting on 5 of 9 passes for 68 yards in the 58-0 win.

2011: Played in five games with one start for Green Bay, con-necting on 33 of 49 passes (67.3 percent) for 518 yards and six TDs with two INTs for a 124.8 passer rating…Active, but did not play in the other 11 regular-season games and the team’s post-season contest…Vs. Minnesota (Nov. 14): Came on in relief of Rodgers in the fourth quarter of a 45-7 Green Bay win. Led the offense on a nine-play, 66-yard drive that was capped off with his 3-yard TD run, the first rushing TD of his career…Vs. Detroit (Jan. 1): Made his second career start as the coaching staff elected to rest Rodgers in the season finale with the team having already clinched the NFC’s No. 1 seed. Set franchise records for passing yards (480) and passing TDs (six) on 31-of-44 passing (the yardage and TD totals would later be matched by Rodgers). Eclipsed Lynn Dickey’s mark of 418 yards at Tampa Bay on Oct. 12, 1980, and the five-TD total that had been posted on eight pre-vious occasions. Joined Tittle (Oct. 28, 1962) and Namath (Sept. 24, 1972) as the only QBs in NFL history to throw for 480-plus yards and six-plus TDs in the same game. Became the first QB in NFL history to throw for five-plus TDs in one of his first two career starts. Combined with his performance at New England in Week 15 of the 2010 season, he joined Marino and Warner as the only three NFL quarterbacks (whose careers started since 1970) to throw three-plus TDs in each of their first two career starts. With Rodgers having thrown five TD passes vs. Chicago the week before, the duo became the first teammates in league history to each throw for five or more TDs in consecutive weeks.

2010: Appeared in seven games with one start, completing 40 of 66 passes (60.6 percent) for 433 yards, three TDs and two INTs (82.4 rating)…Active, but did not play in the other nine regular-season contests…Played in one postseason game, serving as the No. 2 QB in the other three but not seeing any action…Vs. Minne-sota (Oct. 24): Threw a pass on a fake field goal from the Minne-sota 37 in the second quarter. Quickly went from holder to a shot-gun formation, and his long pass to TE Andrew Quarless appeared to be on target but went incomplete after Quarless stumbled en route to the ball…At Minnesota (Nov. 21): Entered the game in relief of Rodgers with 6:37 remaining and the Packers leading 31-3. Led the offense on a 10-play drive that eventually stalled at the Minnesota 33 with 24 seconds remaining. Completed his lone attempt, a 5-yard pass to WR Jordy Nelson, and also scrambled around right end for a 5-yard gain…At Detroit (Dec. 12): Saw the most extended playing time of his career to that point as he entered the game for Rodgers (concussion) with 1:12 remaining in the first half. Connected on 15 of 26 passes (57.7 percent) for 177 yards with an INT (62.5 rating). Led the Packers to a FG on the opening drive of the second half, finding Quarless for a 20-yard gain on the possession. Engineered an 81-yard march on the next series by completing 4 of 6 passes for 67 yards before he was intercepted by LB DeAndre Levy on a pass intended for WR Donald Driver in the end zone. On Green Bay’s final drive, found WR James Jones for an 18-yard gain to convert a third-and-11, and followed that up with a 14-yard screen to RB Dimitri Nance and a 9-yard toss to WR Greg Jennings. On fourth-and-1 at the Detroit 31, overthrew Jennings on a deep pass down the left sideline as the Packers lost, 7-3…At New England (Dec. 19): Making his first career start in one of the toughest environments in the NFL, he completed 24 of 37 passes (64.9 percent) for 251 yards and three TDs with one INT (100.2 rating) against the 11-2 Patriots. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, his 100.2 passer rating was the highest by any NFL quarterback making his first career start against a team with a 10-2 record or better since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger. Became the first Packers QB to throw three TD passes in his first career start since Dilweg posted the same number vs. the

L.A. Rams (Sept. 9, 1990). Was the first QB besides Rodgers or Favre to start a game since Majkowski (vs. Cincinnati, Sept. 20, 1992). Completed passes to 10 different receivers. Found Jones for a 66-yard TD on a stop-and-go route on the first play of the sec-ond quarter, the first TD pass of his NFL career and the longest TD pass by a Packers QB on his first career scoring throw since Babe Parilli in 1952 (90 yards). Pushed the lead to 17-7 with a 1-yard TD strike to Jennings in the second quarter. Engineered a 13-play, 69-yard drive in the third quarter that was capped off with a 6-yard TD pass to RB John Kuhn…At Atlanta (NFC Divisional, Jan. 15): In his postseason debut, entered the game with 5:32 remain-ing and the Packers leading 45-21. Handed the ball off five times on a drive that would result in a 32-yard FG by Crosby.

2009: Served as No. 2 QB for the second straight season...Played in 15 games, handling holding duties for FGs and PATs in the first 13 games and seeing time at QB in five contests, completing 7 of 12 passes for 58 yards with one INT...At Cleveland (Oct. 25): Saw his first action at QB on the season when he relieved Rodgers with just under nine minutes remaining. Completed 1 of 2 passes, connecting with Jennings for a 12-yarder…Vs. Min-nesota (Nov. 1): Took the final snap of the game and completed a 3-yard pass to TE Donald Lee…At Detroit (Nov. 26): Took the final three offensive snaps, handing the ball off to RB Brandon Jackson each time…Vs. Seattle (Dec. 27): Saw the most exten-sive action of his career to that point, coming in for Rodgers for final snap of the third quarter and playing the entire fourth quarter. Completed 4 of 6 passes for 36 yards. Scrambled to his right and found Nelson on the sideline for a 17-yard gain to convert a third-and-12 and set up a fourth-quarter FG…At Arizona (Jan. 3): Played the entire fourth quarter, completing 1 of 3 passes for 7 yards with one INT.

2008: Played in seven games, three of them at QB and the last four games at holder…Completed 2 of 5 passes for 6 yards…Beat out fellow rookie Brian Brohm for the backup QB job follow-ing a strong showing in the preseason…At Detroit (Sept. 14): Took first NFL snaps with two kneel downs to end the game in 48-25 win…Vs. Tampa Bay (Sept. 28): Played two series in the fourth quarter after Rodgers was sidelined with a shoulder injury. Completed 2 of 5 passes for 6 yards. First career comple-tion came on 3-yard pass to Jackson late in the fourth quarter...Vs. Houston (Dec. 7): Held on PATs for the first time in his pro career, holding for Crosby’s three kicks…At Chicago (Dec. 22): Rushed for 6 yards and a first down to the Chicago 31 on a fake punt as he took a direct snap from LS Brett Goode and found a hole on the right side on a fourth-and-2 play in the second quarter. The first down kept drive alive that was capped off with a Jennings TD catch…2008 Draft: The first of two seventh-round draft choices (209th overall) by the Packers, he was the 12th QB taken. Selected with pick from Minnesota acquired along with the Vikings’ fifth-round pick (150) for Green Bay’s fifth-round pick (137). Was the second QB selected by the Packers in the ’08 draft, joining second-round pick Brohm; the last time the team selected two signal-callers in the same draft was in 1989 when the Packers took Dilweg in the third round and Jeff Graham in the fourth round.

COLLEGE: Patiently waited his turn to become the Tigers’ starting QB, playing behind a pair of NFL draft picks in Matt Mauck (selected in seventh round by Denver in 2004) and JaMarcus Russell (first overall pick by Oakland in 2007)…After serving as a backup for three seasons, capped LSU career by leading the Ti-gers to the 2007 BCS National Championship with a win over Ohio State and earned Offensive MVP honors in the game…Finished career with an 11-2 mark as the Tigers’ starter, which included a 10-2 mark as a senior in ’07…Despite serving as LSU’s starting QB for only one season, still managed to throw for 3,096 yards and 31 TDs during his career…Was tied for the sixth-highest TD total at the end of his career…Also served as the holder on FGs and PATs throughout his career at LSU…Majored in general studies…Senior season (2007): Started 12 games on his way to lead-ing the Tigers to a national championship…Threw for 2,407 yards

PRO HIGHLIGHTS: ➤ Reliable long snapper was a last-minute injury replace-

ment for LS J.J. Jansen following the 2008 preseason and has performed the job almost flawlessly for the past six seasons.

➤ Was one of only two Packers (K Mason Crosby) to appear in all 96 regular-season games from 2008-13.

➤ Has appeared in all 96 regular-season games and nine playoff contests since joining the club, having recorded 12 coverage tackles and a fumble recovery in his six seasons, including a career-best five tackles in 2010.

➤ Has snapped for all five of the longest field goals in fran-chise history (all by Crosby).

➤ Helped Crosby connect on 33 of 37 field goals in 2013, an 89.2 percentage that ranks No. 2 in franchise history behind only Jan Stenerud’s 91.7 percentage (22-24) in 1981.

➤ Also contributed to P Tim Masthay setting a single-season franchise record (since 1976) for net punting average (38.95) in 2013.

➤ Played a key role in Masthay tying a team mark for the most punts inside the 20 with 30 on the season in 2012.

➤ Played a critical role in Masthay posting a team-record 45.6-yard gross punting average in 2011.

➤ Crosby ranked No. 4 in the NFL with 140 points and his 85.7 field-goal percentage was a career high at the time. Goode also snapped for each of Crosby’s franchise-record 23 con-secutive field goals, a mark that broke Chris Jacke’s previous record of 17 set in 1993.

➤ Originally signed by Green Bay as a free agent on Sept. 1, 2008, three days after Jansen suffered a season-ending knee injury in the preseason finale vs. Tennessee.

Chicago (Sept. 13): Snapped for all three of Crosby’s successful FG attempts, in-cluding his 54-yarder in the fourth quarter that was the longest by a Green Bay kicker in Lambeau Field history. Also centered the game’s highlight play, a fake field goal in the second quarter that resulted in a 27-yard TD pass from Masthay to TE Tom Crabtree. On the play, snapped the ball to Masthay, the holder, and then threw a cut-block that wiped out DE Israel Idonije and allowed a clear path for Crabtree to take the shovel pass from Masthay and dart up the field for the score…Vs.

Giants (Dec. 4): Centered each of Crosby’s five PATs and also his game-winning 31-yard FG as time expired, his first participation in a game-winning kick in his four-year career. Also snapped for each of Masthay’s five punts, seeing four of them land inside the 20-yard line, as he became the first punter in franchise history to drop four or more inside the 20 in back-to-back games and won NFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors...At Kansas City (Dec. 18): Snapped for each of Masthay’s five punts, including his career-long 71-yarder in the second quarter.

Ron Wolf arrived in Green Bay Nov. 27, 1991, with a mandate to rescue the Green and Gold from a quarter-century of mediocrity, an assignment which prompted him to assert, “I was brought here to win.”

And win, in the decade to follow, the Packers did – in large part because of his leadership and the “cast” he assembled to execute one of the most electrifying turnarounds in NFL annals … rewardingly punctuated by Green Bay’s first Super Bowl victory in nearly three decades and back-to-back appearances in professional football’s ultimate game.

During the history-making process, he made a more profound impact upon the Packers organization than anyone since the revered Vince Lombardi, who arrived in Green Bay with a similar mission 32 years

earlier. Over Wolf’s 1992-2000 tenure, the Packers compiled the NFL’s second-best regular-season record, a 92-52 mark for a .639 percentage, recorded seven straight winning seasons and made six consecutive playoff appearances.

He converted the Green and Gold from perennial also-rans into consistent winners, exemplified by the fact they also have mounted the NFL’s second-best regular-season won-lost record since the 1993 institution of free agency (205-115-0, .641).

Wolf’s aggressive stewardship, launched with the hiring of 49ers offensive coordinator Mike Holmgren as head coach and the acquisition of Brett Favre as a franchise quarterback in 1992, is perhaps no better illustrated than by the Packers’ immediate, 9-7 turnabout in 1992 – his first year on the job – after the team had been a dismal 4-12 in 1991 and 6-10 in 1990 … a transformation which brought him recognition as “NFL Executive of the Year” by Sporting News. Wolf, reflecting upon the overall record from his perspective on the day he announced his retirement, observed with pardonable satisfac-tion: “What people said couldn’t happen here … happened here (building a winner in Green Bay) ... I’m proud of that.”

A statistical glance at some notable team figures, over the nine years before – and after – Wolf took control:

1983-91 1992-2000 57-85-1 W-L-T, Overall 92-52-0 .402 Overall Winning Pct. .639 31-40-1 W-L-T, Home Games 60-12-0 .438 Home Winning Pct. .833 321.5 Total Offense/Game 333.8 330.4 Total Defense/Game 301.2

A.J. HAWKLINEBACKER • OHIO STATENinth NFL Season • Ninth Packers Season

Ht: 6-1 Wt: 235 • Born: January 6, 1984 • NFL Games Played/Started: 126/123 • Acquired: D1-06

AT A GLANCE …• Ranks No. 1 in franchise history (since 1975) with 1,025 tackles,

having surpassed John Anderson (1,020 from 1978-89) for the team mark in the 2013 regular-season finale.

• Has posted 100-plus tackles in four consecutive seasons (2010-13) and in seven of his eight years in the NFL (2006-08, 2010-13).

• Has led the team in tackles five times during his career (2006, 2008, 2010, 2012-13), which ties LB Nick Barnett for the fran-chise record (since 1975).

• Appeared in 126 of a possible 128 regular-season games in his first eight seasons, starting 123 of them. Missed the only games of his career in 2011 after suffering a calf injury at De-troit in Week 12.

• Led the team in tackles as a rookie in 2006 with 155, the sec-ond most ever recorded by a Green Bay rookie (Rich Wingo, 166 in 1979). His 112 solo stops were third best in the NFL among all players that year.

• Finished third in NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year voting by The Associated Press and earned a spot on the Pro Football Weekly/Pro Football Writers Association All-Rookie Team.

• A consensus All-American both as a junior (2004) and senior (2005), earned first-team All-Big Ten honors in each of his three seasons as a starter. Also captured the 2005 Lombardi Award, given annually to the nation’s top lineman or linebacker.

• Nicknamed “A.J.” by his parents, fans of legendary Indy car driver A.J. Foyt.

• Grew his hair out in 2005 as a tribute to the late Pat Tillman, the former NFL player who lost his life with the U.S. Army while serving in Afghanistan. Kept it long until March 2012, when he cut it and donated it to “Wigs For Kids,” a charity that makes wigs for children who have lost their hair due to chemother-apy treatments.

PRO HIGHLIGHTS: ➤ Ranks No. 1 in franchise history (since 1975) with 1,025

tackles, having surpassed John Anderson (1,020 from 1978-89) for the team mark in the 2013 regular-season finale.

➤ Has posted 100-plus tackles in four consecutive seasons (2010-13) and in seven of his eight years in the NFL (2006-08, 2010-13).

➤ Has led the team in tackles five times during his career (2006, 2008, 2010, 2012-13), which ties LB Nick Barnett for the franchise record (since 1975).

➤ Appeared in 126 of a possible 128 regular-season games in his first eight seasons, starting 123 of them. Missed the only games of his career in 2011 after suffering a calf injury at Detroit in Week 12.

➤ His 126 regular-season games played as a Packer are the most by any player on the current roster.

➤ Started all 16 games in 2013 and led the team with 153 tackles (112 solo), the second-highest total of his career. Added a career-best five sacks.

➤ The lone constant in an ILB group beset by injuries in 2012, he started all 16 games for the first time since 2008 and led the defense with 142 tackles (105 solo).

➤ Started all 14 games in which he appeared in 2011, miss-ing the first two contests of his career following a calf injury suffered in the first half of the team’s Week 12 game at Detroit.

➤ Finished third on the team in ’11 with 104 tackles (73 solo), in addition to posting 1½ sacks and five passes defensed. Was also voted by teammates to serve as a playoff captain for the second consecutive season.

➤ Enjoyed one of his best seasons in 2010 as he took on a bigger role than in previous years, assuming the lead com-municator duties between the coaches and the huddle in the absence of Barnett, who missed the final 12 games with a wrist injury.

➤ With injuries to Barnett and veteran LB Brandon Chillar, rarely came off the field in 2010 and wound up leading the team with 134 tackles (97 solo). Posted a career-high three interceptions, which tied him for the NFL lead among lineback-ers.

➤ Was named a Pro Bowl alternate in 2010, but was credited with his first career selection because he would have been added to the all-star roster as an emergency injury replace-ment had the Packers not been preparing for Super Bowl XLV.

➤ Despite seeing his snap count go down in ’09 compared to his first four seasons because of the Packers’ frequent use of sub-packages, was one of only 10 linebackers in the NFL to post at least 85 tackles, two interceptions and a sack.

➤ In 2008, played through chest and groin injuries to lead the Packers in tackles for the second time in his career after moving from weak-side to middle linebacker in the second half of the season to replace the injured Barnett.

➤ His team-leading 155 tackles in 2006 were the second most ever recorded by a Packers’ rookie (Rich Wingo, 166 in 1979), and his 112 solo tackles ranked third in the league.

➤ Finished third in The Associated Press Defensive Rookie of the Year voting and earned a spot on the Pro Football Weekly/Pro Football Writers Association All-Rookie Team.

➤ The first linebacker taken in the 2006 draft after being a consensus All-American each of his final two seasons at Ohio State. One of only two linebackers taken among the top five selections over a period of nine NFL drafts (1998-2006), join-ing LaVar Arrington (No. 2 overall, 2000).

➤ Followed the likes of Lawrence Taylor (1981), Derrick Thomas (1989), Junior Seau (1990) and Willie McGinest (1994) as one of only 29 linebackers drafted in the top five since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970.

2013 SEASON: Started all 16 games for the second con-secutive season and led the team in tackles for the fifth time in his career with 153 stops (112 solo), the second-highest total of his career…Posted a career-high five sacks, an interception, five passes defensed, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery…Was named one of the team’s playoff captains for the third time in his career, and started the club’s Wild Card contest vs. San Fran-cisco…At San Francisco (Sept. 8): Posted nine tackles (five solo), helping to set the tone for a run defense that limited the 49ers to just 90 yards on 34 carries (2.6 avg.)…At Cincinnati (Sept. 22): Tied for the team lead with 13 tackles (10 solo) and

HAWK

added a fumble recovery in his first-ever regular-season game near his hometown. Recovered a TE Jermaine Gresham fumble in the second quarter that was forced by LB Brad Jones, part of four consecutive turnover drives by Green Bay’s defense…At Balti-more (Oct. 13): Had one of the most impactful performances of his career, stepping forward with fellow starting LBs Jones (ham-string) and Clay Matthews (thumb) sidelined. Posted 12 tackles (nine solo, five for a loss) and a career-high three sacks. With the three sacks, became just the second Green Bay inside linebacker (since 1982) to register three in a game, joining Bryce Paup (vs. Tampa Bay, Sept. 15, 1991). Was one of only nine NFL lineback-ers to record three sacks in a game during the 2013 season…Vs. Cleveland (Oct. 20): Tied for the team lead with 14 tackles (nine solo) and added three QB hits and a pass defensed…At N.Y. Giants (Nov. 17): Posted six tackles (five solo) and a sack, his career-high fourth of the season…Vs. Minnesota (Nov. 24): Led the team with a season-high 15 tackles (13 solo, two for a loss), a sack, a QB hit and his first forced fumble of the season. Tackled RB Adrian Peterson following a 3-yard reception in the second quarter and stripped the RB on his way to the ground, causing a fumble that was recovered by LB Andy Mulumba at the Green Bay 45…Vs. Pittsburgh (Dec. 22): Registered seven tackles (five solo) and an interception, the ninth of his career and his first since Dec. 26, 2010. Made the pick on the final play of the third quarter when he dropped into coverage and leapt to make a one-handed snag of a Ben Roethlisberger throw intended for TE Heath Miller over the middle…At Chicago (Dec. 29): Posted eight tackles (four solo), which brought his career total to 1,025. That moved him into the top spot in franchise history (since 1975) as he surpassed Anderson’s total of 1,020.

2012: The lone inside LB to start all 16 games, he maintained his run of durability at a position once again plagued by inju-ries…Fellow starting ILB Desmond Bishop suffered a significant hamstring injury in the preseason opener at San Diego (Aug. 9) and was lost for the season…His replacement, LB D.J. Smith, sustained a knee injury at Houston in Week 6 and was also placed on injured reserve…Marked the first time he had started all 16 games since 2008…Posted a team-leading 142 tackles (105 solo), his highest total since ’06 (155)…Also recorded three sacks, his most since posting the same number in ’08…Vs. San Francisco (Sept. 9): Led the defense with a season-high 17 tackles (12 solo)…At Houston (Oct. 14): Made the 100th game of his career an active one, leading the team with nine tack-les (seven solo) and his first sack of the season. Sack came on the Texans’ first drive of the second half when he knifed through and dropped QB Matt Schaub for a 12-yard loss. Also was a critical part of the run defense that limited Pro Bowl RB Arian Foster to just 29 yards on 17 carries, a 1.7-yard average that was a career low (min. 15 attempts)…Vs. Tennessee (Dec. 23): Spearheaded a dominating defensive effort that limited the Titans to just 180 yards of total offense and 10 first downs on the after-noon. Finished with seven tackles (six solo) and had an especially

productive day rushing the passer, equaling his then-career high with two sacks. First sack came late in the first quarter when he crossed with Matthews to the inside and dropped QB Jake Locker for a 7-yard loss. Later crashed through the line on the Titans’ opening drive of the second half, going untouched to sack Locker for a loss of 8…At Minnesota (Dec. 30): Appeared on 57 plays and led the way with 11 tackles (five solo, two for loss), also adding a pressure. Had a tackle for a loss when he shot between RG and RT and dropped Peterson for a 2-yard loss.

2011: Started all but two games at “Buck” LB, landing on the inactive list for the first time in his career after suffering a calf strain in the first half of the team’s Thanksgiving Day game at Detroit in Week 12…Snapped a streak of 98 consecutive games played (including playoffs) to start his career when he was listed as a gameday inactive at the N.Y. Giants in Week 13…In all, started 14 games, tallying 104 tackles (73 solo), 1½ sacks and five passes defensed for the season…Eclipsed the 100-tackle plateau for the fifth time in his six seasons…Was voted one of the team’s six captains for the postseason for the second con-secutive year…Vs. Denver (Oct. 2): Made seven tackles (five solo) and deflected a pass that resulted in an INT for S Charlie Peprah in the fourth quarter. On the play, jarred the ball loose from WR Eric Decker as it arrived and the ball caromed up into the air and was secured by Peprah, allowing Green Bay to run out the remaining 1:54 on the clock. Also crossed with Bishop on a blitz in the third quarter, occupying blockers to free Bishop for an 8-yard sack…Vs. St. Louis (Oct. 16): Had one of his most active and productive games of the season, recording a season-high 13 tackles (seven solo, one for a loss) and his first full sack of the season, keying a defense that did not give up a TD. On the sack, twisted around DE Howard Green to find a gap in the middle of the protection, burying QB Sam Bradford for a 9-yard loss…At Detroit (Nov. 24): Started the game and recorded seven tackles (five solo) and a pass defensed, but sustained a calf injury late in the first half and did not return…At N.Y. Gi-ants (Dec. 4): Was sidelined during the practice week while rehabilitating the injury and was listed as a gameday inactive for the first time in his career, snapping a streak of 98 consecutive games played (including playoffs)…Vs. Oakland (Dec. 11): Returned to practice late in the week and dressed for the game, but did not play…At Kansas City (Dec. 18): Returned to the starting lineup after missing the previous two games and finished second on the defense with 11 tackles (nine solo).

2010: Played in all 16 games for the fifth straight season, opening 15 contests at BLB…Led the team with 134 tackles (97 solo)…Registered six double-digit tackle games…Posted a career-best three INTs and matched his career high with nine passes defensed…The three INTs tied him for No. 1 among LBs in the league…Was named a Pro Bowl alternate, but was cred-ited with his first career selection because he would have been added to the all-star roster as an emergency replacement had the

CASEYHAYWARDCORNERBACK • VANDERBILTThird NFL Season • Third Packers Season

Ht: 5-11 Wt: 192 • Born: September 9, 1989 • NFL Games Played/Started: 19/8 • Acquired: D2b-12

AT A GLANCE …• Battled a nagging hamstring injury that cost him the bulk

of the 2013 season. Burst onto the scene in 2012, leading all NFL rookies with his team-high six INTs and finishing third in the voting for Defensive Rookie of the Year by The Associ-ated Press.

• Became the first Green Bay CB ever to be named to the Pro Football Weekly/PFWA All-Rookie team (est. 1974) and was chosen as the league’s Defensive Rookie of the Year by Pro-FootballFocus.com.

• Twice earned second-team All-Southeastern Conference hon-ors while in college and was recognized as a second-team All-America by the Walter Camp Foundation, Rivals.com and Yahoo! Sports as a senior.

• Posted 15 career interceptions at Vanderbilt, tying him for the most in school history with Leonard Coleman (1980-83).

• Started all 37 games over his final three seasons and registered 13 of his 15 career interceptions over his last two seasons.

• Holds school records for passes defensed in a career (46) and in a single season (17 in 2010 and 2011).

• Was a three-year starter at QB and a two-year starter at DB at Perry (Ga.) High School, earning Region 4-AAA Offensive Play-er of the Year honors and also all-state recognition on defense.

PRO HIGHLIGHTS: ➤ Endured what was mostly a lost season in 2013 after his

promising rookie debut in 2012. Battled a nagging hamstring injury beginning in training camp that limited him to just three games during the regular season and ultimately landed him on injured reserve on Nov. 23.

➤ As a rookie in 2012, demonstrated the playmaking ability that made him a standout at the college level, playing in all 16 games, starting seven and finishing with 55 tackles (43 solo) and a forced fumble, while also leading the club with six INTs and 25 passes defensed.

➤ His six INTs led all NFL rookies, ranked tied for fifth in the league among all players, and were the most by a Packers rookie since CB Mike McKenzie had six in 1999.

➤ Served as the team’s nickel CB early in the season before entering the starting lineup in Week 7 at St. Louis as a replace-ment for the injured Sam Shields (shin/ankle). Reassumed the No. 3 CB role upon Shields’ return to the lineup in Week 15, playing out the remainder of the regular season and both play-off games in that capacity.

➤ Earned NFL Defensive Rookie of the Month honors for October after collecting 12 tackles (nine solo), four INTs and eight passes defensed over a four-game stretch that saw the Packers post a 3-1 record.

➤ Was also a factor on special teams during his inaugural season, ranking second among the club’s rookies with five coverage tackles during the regular season and adding two more in the playoffs.

➤ Drafted by the Packers with the second of two second-round selections (No. 62 overall), a pick obtained in a draft-day trade with New England in exchange for the Packers’ third-round pick (No. 90) and their fifth-round selection (No. 163).

➤ Became the highest-drafted defensive back out of Vander-bilt since CB Fred Vinson in 1999, who was selected by the Packers in the second round (No. 47 overall).

San Francisco (Sept. 9): Made his NFL debut on special teams, recording a tackle on the kickoff coverage team…At India-napolis (Oct. 7): Finished with two tackles (both solo) and his first career INT.

post a multi-INT game since McKenzie during the 1999 season (Jan. 2, 2000). Finished the game with a team-high four passes defensed. First INT came at the end of an impressive three-play sequence in the fourth quarter, where he defended three con-secutive passes from QB Matt Schaub intended for WR Kes-hawn Martin. Made his first INT on a fade in the end zone that he first tipped to himself, and then intercepted behind the goal line. Made the second INT on the Texans’ next possession when he was trailing WR DeVier Posey in a deep zone coverage and was able to corral a deflection by S Jerron McMillian and return it 20 yards…At St. Louis (Oct. 21): Made his first career start at RCB in the absence of Shields. Finished with five tackles (three solo) and an INT.

Snagged his sixth INT of the season just before halftime when he was matched in man coverage with WR Devin Hester from the slot. Returned it 24 yards to the Chicago 26-yard line and the offense would capital-ize on the turnover just five plays later when QB Aaron Rodgers hit WR James Jones for an 8-yard TD pass, giving Green Bay its first lead, 14-7, before halftime.

DAVON HOUSE

CORNERBACK • NEW MEXICO STATEFourth NFL Season • Fourth Packers Season

Ht: 6-0 Wt: 195 • Born: July 10, 1989 • NFL Games Played/Started: 27/10 • Acquired: D4-11

AT A GLANCE …• A developing player who has gotten healthy and seen ex-

tended action over the last two seasons, having appeared in 25 games with 10 starts between 2012-13.

• In Week 8 of 2012 vs. Jacksonville, he recorded the Packers’ first blocked punt since Sept. 29, 2003 (LB Marcus Wilkins), and saw LB Dezman Moses make it the first to be returned for a TD since Dec. 2, 1990 (S Tiger Greene).

• Earned first-team All-Western Athletic Conference honors as a junior and senior.

• Finished his career ranked first in school history in interception return yardage with 319 and tied for sixth with 11 INTs.

• Named to the Jim Thorpe Award watch list in 2010 and was an honorable mention All-America selection by The NFL Draft Report as a senior.

• Tied an NCAA record when he returned an interception 100 yards for a TD vs. Idaho in 2007.

• Was the first player to be drafted by the Packers out of New Mexico State in franchise history, and was the first Aggie draft-ed since S Siddeeq Shabazz (Oakland, seventh round) in 2003.

• Older brother, Tyreace, was a sixth-round draft choice of the Oakland Athletics in 2008, but recently retired from baseball and is pursuing a football career as a linebacker at Division II McMurry University in Texas, where his head coach in 2012 was Hal Mumme, who was also Davon’s head coach at NMSU.

PRO HIGHLIGHTS: ➤ Enjoyed the healthiest season of his young career in 2013,

appearing in all 16 games for the first time and posting career highs in every statistical category.

➤ Set new personal bests for tackles (32) and solo tackles (26), recorded his first career INT, and tied previous career highs with 13 passes defensed and a sack.

➤ Also emerged as a more consistent contributor on special teams in 2013, leading the club with a career-high 12 tackles on the coverage units.

➤ Carried the momentum of a strong offseason into the 2012 training camp, where he was vying to start opposite veteran Tramon Williams as the No. 2 CB in the team’s base defense.

➤ Suffered a shoulder injury on special teams late in the pre-season opener at San Diego (Aug. 9), a setback that sidelined him for the remainder of the summer and the first six weeks of the regular season.

➤ Following an injury to CB Sam Shields (shin/ankle), made his season debut in Week 7 at St. Louis and went on to start five of the next six contests.

➤ Finished the season with 18 tackles (17 solo) and a sack, and tied for fourth on the club with 13 passes defensed.

➤ Also contributed regularly on special teams, highlighted by his blocked punt in Week 8 vs. Jacksonville that LB Dezman Moses recovered in the end zone for a TD. The play marked the Packers’ first blocked punt since Sept. 29, 2003 (LB Marcus Wilkins), and the first that was returned for a TD since Dec. 2, 1990 (S Tiger Greene).

➤ Initially competed for the fourth cornerback job early in his first training camp as a rookie in 2011, but suffered injuries that saw him miss much of the preseason.

➤ Appeared in just two games as a rookie, playing only on special teams, where he was credited with one tackle.

2013 SEASON: Played in a career-high 16 games, mak-ing five starts in what was the healthiest and most productive season of his young career…Served as a reserve CB in the secondary, setting a new career high with 32 tackles (26 solo), a sack, his first career INT and 13 passes defensed…Played extensively in the team’s Wild Card playoff game after start-ing CB Sam Shields exited on the second defensive snap with a knee injury…Also became a steady contributor on special teams, leading the club’s coverage units with a career-high 12 tackles…Vs. Washington (Sept. 15): Earned a special teams game ball for his performance that featured a team-leading two tackles on the coverage units, one each on the kickoff and punt teams. Also saw extended action on defense, appearing on 26 plays and posting the second sack of his ca-reer and a pass defensed. On the sack, came in unblocked on a CB blitz off the left edge in the second quarter, taking down QB Robert Griffin III for a 6-yard loss…At Baltimore (Oct. 13): Appeared on 14 defensive plays in the first half and posted one solo tackle and a trio of impressive passes defensed. The first pass break-up came along the sideline when he leapt to deflect an underthrown ball intended for WR Marlon Brown that he nearly intercepted. Later found himself matched against Brown

on a similar deep ball down the sideline that he also batted away…Vs. Cleveland (Oct. 20): Had another productive outing, receiving one of the defensive game balls after appear-ing on 56 plays and finishing with four tackles (three solo) and three passes defensed, including his first career INT. Picked off QB Brandon Weeden on a fourth-down play in the first quarter on what was an underthrown ball to WR Davone Bess near the sideline...At N.Y. Giants (Nov. 17): Was thrust into a start-ing role after Shields sustained a hamstring injury late in the practice week and was inactive on gameday. Appeared on 58 defensive plays and finished with two solo tackles and a pass defensed…Vs. San Francisco (NFC Wild Card, Jan. 5): Was pressed into extended action on defense after Shields suffered a knee injury on the second defensive snap of the game. Wound up appearing on 61 plays, matched mostly on the outside in “man” coverage. Finished with four solo tackles and three passes defensed. First pass defensed came when he broke up a third-down fade pass intended for WR Michael Crabtree in the end zone in the first quarter, forcing a FG at-tempt. Tallied another in the fourth quarter, when he trailed speedy TE Vernon Davis on a deep over route across the field and batted the ball away as it arrived. 2012: Made noticeable improvement throughout the offsea-son program and entered training camp in a competitive battle for the No. 2 CB position in the team’s base defense…Started the preseason opener at San Diego (Aug. 9) and turned in an impressive outing with four tackles (three solo, one for loss) and a pass defensed before injuring his shoulder on the punt coverage team in the third quarter…The injury sidelined him for the remainder of the preseason and the first six weeks of the regular season…Saw extended playing time after Shields

On the play, moved down toward the line of scrimmage from his jammer position on the perimeter. Came through unblocked from the left side of the rush to make a perfect block of P Bryan Anger’s kick, deflect-ing it backward toward the end zone, where Moses secured it. Marked the Packers’ first blocked punt since Sept. 29, 2003 (Wilkins), and the first that was returned for a TD since Dec. 2, 1990 (Greene)…At Detroit (Nov. 18): Started his third straight game with the defense opening in its nickel alignment. Appeared on all 72 defensive plays and finished with two tack-les (both solo), his first career sack and two passes defensed.

MICAH HYDEDEFENSIVE BACK • IOWASecond NFL Season • Second Packers Season

Ht: 6-0 Wt: 197 • Born: December 31, 1990 • NFL Games Played/Started: 16/3 • Acquired: D5a-13

AT A GLANCE …• One of the top contributors from the 2013 rookie class, he

played in all 16 games as a reserve cornerback and also served as the team’s primary kick and punt returner for the majority of the season.

• Posted a 12.3-yard punt return average in 2013 (No. 5 in the NFL), and a 93-yard TD return at Minnesota in Week 8 that is tied for the fourth-longest in team history.

• Has an older brother, Marcus, who was a four-year letterman as a safety at Michigan State (2007-10) and a step-uncle, Damon Moore, who played safety at Ohio State (1995-98) and also for the Philadelphia Eagles (1999-2001) and Chicago Bears (2002).

• Enjoyed a four-year playing career at the University of Iowa, where he started 38 consecutive games over his final three seasons and was a teammate of current Packers T Bryan Bu-laga and DT Mike Daniels.

• Organized the formation of the IMagINe Foundation in Iowa City, an organization that collects sporting goods from area schools and donates them to charities throughout the state of Iowa. Originally spawned the idea as part of a class project at Iowa.

20): Received the special teams game ball for his performance in the third phase, one that included a team-high three tack-les on the coverage units (all on the kickoff team) and a punt return of 18 yards…At Minnesota (Oct. 27): Had one of the game’s biggest plays, returning a second-quarter punt by P Jeff Locke 93 yards for the first TD of his career. Fielded the punt at the Green Bay 7-yard line and quickly shot for-ward between both converging Minnesota gunners. Ran up the right side of the field before cutting back to the left at the 30 to evade Locke and going the rest of the way down the left sideline untouched for the score, extending the Packers’ lead to 24-10 before halftime. The return is tied for the fourth longest in team history. Also saw 19 plays on defense and finished with six tackles (four solo)…Vs. Pittsburgh (Dec. 22): Made his second career start, opening the game as the No. 3 CB and appearing on 49 defensive plays. Finished with a season-high eight tackles (two solo) and a pass defensed. Also was particularly effective as a kickoff returner, posting five returns for 167 yards (33.4 avg.), the most in a game by a Packer since CB Tramon Williams had 173 vs. Chicago on Oct. 7, 2007. Most impactful return was his season-long 70-yarder late in the fourth quarter after Pittsburgh had taken a 38-31 lead with 1:28 remaining. Brought the ensuing kickoff all the way back to the Steelers’ 31-yard line. Allowed the Packers to drive to the Pittsburgh 6-yard line, where a last-second pass to tie the game fell incomplete…Vs. San Francisco (NFC Wild Card, Jan. 5): Made his postseason debut, appearing on 20 defensive plays and posting three tackles (two solo), a forced fumble and a pass defensed. Forced the fumble on the 49ers’ opening drive of the game when he ripped the ball out of WR Michael Crabtree’s hands near the sideline following a 12-yard reception. Also missed a near-INT on San Francisco’s final drive when he had coverage of WR Anquan Boldin in the left flat late in the fourth quarter. Leapt to the make the play, but was unable to maintain possession on his way to the ground

PRO HIGHLIGHTS: ➤ Fifth-round pick who emerged as one of the more promis-

ing players from the 2013 draft class after enjoying an impact-ful rookie season that saw him make contributions on both defense and special teams.

➤ Served as the team’s nickel and dime cornerback through-out the season and also took over punt and kick return duties early in the year.

➤ Appeared in all 16 games with three starts and posted 54 tackles (38 solo), four passes defensed, a sack and a forced fumble. Led all of the club’s rookies in tackles, solo tackles, passes defensed and forced fumbles.

➤ Also became one of the top contributors on special teams, tallying eight coverage tackles and serving as the primary return man. Ranked No. 5 in the NFL with a 12.3-yard punt return average, in addition to posting a 24.1-yard kickoff aver-age (No. 14).

➤ Had a 93-yard punt return for a TD in a Sunday night con-test at Minnesota in Week 8 that is tied for the fourth-longest in franchise history.

➤ Joined T David Bakhtiari, S Chris Banjo and DE Datone Jones as the only Green Bay rookies to appear in all 16 games in 2013.

2013 SEASON: Turned in an impressive training camp and preseason, taking advantage of extended opportunities to produce throughout the summer as one of the most NFL-ready rookies on the roster…Spent most of the season as either the dime or nickel CB, helping to fill the playing-time void left by CB Casey Hayward, who missed all but three games with a hamstring injury…At season’s end, had appeared on 428 defensive plays, most among the team’s defensive rookies…Played in all 16 games with three starts, posting 54 tackles (38 solo), a sack, four passes defensed and a forced fumble…Led all Packers rookies in tackles, solo tackles and forced fum-bles…Became one of the top contributors on special teams, both as a coverage player and in the return game…Ranked third on the club with eight coverage tackles…Assumed kick and punt return duties in Week 6 following a significant leg in-jury to WR Randall Cobb…Went on to return 24 punts for 296 yards and a TD, a 12.3-yard average that ranked No. 5 in the NFL…Scored the TD on a 93-yard play at Minnesota in Week 8, tying for the fourth-longest punt return in team annals…Took over as the primary kickoff returner in Week 9, posting 22 returns for 531 yards (24.1 avg.)…At Baltimore (Oct. 15): Enjoyed extended playing time, coming on in relief of CB Davon House in the second quarter as the team’s nickel CB and appearing on 37 plays. Finished with six tackles (five solo) and both his first career sack and forced fumble. Sack came in the second half when he blitzed off of the left edge and drilled QB Joe Flacco for a 10-yard loss, jarring the ball loose, though it was recovered by the Ravens. Had another tackle for a loss when he tracked down WR Marlon Brown on an end-around later in the third quarter, dropping him for a 2-yard loss. Also had a productive day on special teams, taking over after Cobb was injured in the first half and returning five punts for 68 yards (13.6 avg.) with a long of 23…Vs. Cleveland (Oct.

AT A GLANCE …• Has started 22 games over the past two seasons at ILB after

making the transition from OLB prior to the start of the 2012 campaign.

• Played in 14 games with seven starts as a rookie in 2009, tak-ing over the starting LOLB position in Week 12 vs. Detroit after Aaron Kampman sustained a season-ending knee injury in the previous game.

• Became only the fifth Packer (since 1982) to record four sacks as a rookie in ’09.

• Was one of only six NFL rookies in 2009 to post four or more sacks, and was joined in that group by teammate Clay Matthews.

➤ Finished the season third on the team with 98 tackles (73 solo), three sacks, two passes defensed, a forced fumble and the first fumble recovery of his career.

➤ Made the offseason transition from outside to inside LB in 2012, and ultimately assumed starting duties at the “Mack’”LB po-sition following season-ending injuries to both Desmond Bishop (hamstring) and D.J. Smith (knee).

➤ Started five of the first six games in 2010, and posted 37 tack-les (20 solo), before aggravating a shoulder injury in Week 7 that had first bothered him in training camp. Was placed on injured reserve, Oct. 27.

➤ Took over the starting job in 2009 during Week 12 of his rookie season after veteran Aaron Kampman sustained a season-ending knee injury the previous game.

➤ Started seven games and became only the fifth Packer (since 1982) to record four sacks as a rookie, with all of them coming in the final five games. Was one of only six NFL rookies in 2009 to post four or more sacks, and was joined in that group by team-mate Clay Matthews.

• One of four Packers rookies to appear in all 16 games as a rookie in 2013, joining T David Bakhtiari, S Chris Banjo and CB Micah Hyde.

• Started all 14 games as a senior in college in 2012 and earned second-team All-Pacific-12 recognition from the league’s coaches.

• Was second on the team and fifth in the conference with 19 tackles for a loss in 2012 and led UCLA’s defensive linemen with a career-high 62 tackles (45 solo).

• Finished his career with 36½ tackles for a loss, good for No. 11 in school history, and his 19 tackles for a loss in ’12 were tied for the seventh most in a single season by a Bruin.

• Earned the Kenneth S. Washington Award for Outstanding Senior of the Year on Defense and the Captain Don Brown Award for the Most Improved Player at the annual team awards banquet.

• Became the first UCLA defensive lineman to be selected in the first round since DT Manu Tuiasosopo in 1979 (No. 18 overall, Seattle).

• Joined QB Ernie Case (No. 6 overall, 1947) as the only UCLA players to be drafted by Green Bay in the first round.

PRO HIGHLIGHTS: ➤ Top pick from a season ago who appeared in all 16 games

as a rookie in 2013, rotating at defensive end and as one of the interior rushers in the team’s sub-defenses.

➤ For the season, appeared on 267 defensive plays and fin-ished with 19 tackles (10 solo), 3½ sacks and a fumble re-covery. Also blocked an extra point attempt on special teams.

2013 SEASON: First-round draft pick who brought added athleticism to the Green Bay defense…Overcame an ankle injury suffered early in the preseason and went to be one of only four Packers rookies to appear in all 16 games during the regular sea-son...Finished with 19 tackles (10 solo), 3½ sacks and a fumble recovery…His sack total was the highest among Packers rook-ies and he was one of only two Green Bay rookies (LB Andy Mu-lumba) record a fumble recovery during the season…Also par-ticipated as a member of the placement rush on special teams, and blocked an extra point attempt at Cincinnati in Week 3…At San Francisco (Sept. 8): Made his NFL debut, appearing on 18 defensive plays and finishing with two assisted tackles…At Cincinnati (Sept. 22): Saw action on 10 defensive plays and notched an assisted tackle. Contributed on special teams by blocking an extra point following a Bengals TD in the fourth quar-ter, swatting K Mike Nugent’s attempt cleanly to hold the Pack-ers lead at 30-27. Marked the first blocked PAT by the Packers since DE Cullen Jenkins had one at Carolina on Oct. 3, 2005…At Baltimore (Oct. 15): Saw action on 17 plays and recorded an assisted tackle, a QB hit and a fumble recovery. Was involved in the first turnover play of his young career late in the first half when he disengaged from a rush and picked up a fumble that had been forced on a strip-sack by LB Nick Perry. Returned the ball 20 yards to the Baltimore 13-yard line, where he was tackled with two seconds remaining in the half, setting up a 31-yard FG by K Mason Crosby…Vs. Philadelphia (Nov. 10): Had his most productive game of the season, finishing with four tackles (three solo, two for loss), a career-high two sacks and two QB hits. Both of his sacks came on third downs and forced Philadel-phia punts. The first came on the Eagles’ first possession when he dropped into zone coverage and mirrored QB Nick Foles, who he stepped up to drop for a 2-yard loss as he tried to escape the pocket. Later picked up his second sack in impressive fashion as he bulled Pro Bowl LT Jason Peters backward and disengaged from the block to sack Foles for a 6-yard loss. The two sacks tied the single-game franchise rookie record and he became the first rookie to achieve the feat since LB Brad Jones and LB Clay Matthews did so at Pittsburgh on Dec. 20, 2009…At Dallas (Dec. 15): Saw action on 18 defensive plays and posted two tackles (one solo) and a half-sack. Sack came late in the third quarter when he disengaged from T Tyron Smith as QB Tony Romo escaped to his side and teamed with LB Clay Matthews to drop him for a 13-yard loss...2013 Draft: Selected by the Pack-

ers with the No. 26 overall selection in the first round. Joined QB Ernie Case (No. 6 overall, 1947) as the only UCLA players to be drafted by Green Bay in the first round.

the top 10 in both rushing (No. 7) and passing (No. 6) for the first time since 2004…Blocked for RB Eddie Lacy as he rushed for 1,178 yards, the most by a rookie in team history, as Lacy was selected to the Pro Bowl and named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year by AP…Vs. Washington (Sept. 15): Started and also saw time on special teams, but sustained a hamstring in-jury during the game that would force him to miss the Week 3 contest at Cincinnati, just the third game he had missed due to injury during his career…At N.Y.

Threw a last-second cut block on Bears DE Julius Pep-pers on QB Aaron Rodgers’ game-winning 48-yard TD pass to WR Randall Cobb in the final minute of the game. With LT David Bakhtiari pinching inside to pick up a Chicago blitz, came across the backfield and dove into Peppers, knocking him off his rush just enough to allow Rodgers time to escape and find Cobb wide open down the field. Earlier in the drive, had a criti-cal 1-yard run that converted a fourth-and-inches at the Pack-ers’ own 22-yard line to keep the possession alive…Vs. San Francisco (NFC Wild Card, Jan. 5): Scored on a 1-yard TD run off left guard in the fourth quarter, which gave the Pack-ers a 17-13 lead with just over 12 minutes remaining.

On the ensuing drive, made an excellent pickup of blitzing CB Ronde Barber, allowing Rodgers time to find WR Jordy Nelson for a 40-yard TD that sealed the 35-26 win…Vs. Oakland (Dec. 11): Carried a season-high 10 times for a season-best 46 yards (4.6 avg.) as the offense matched its season-high rushing total with 136 yards on 24 carries (5.7 avg.). Saw his carries increase with Starks (ankle) sidelined and rookie RB Brandon Saine departing in the second quarter (concussion)…Vs. N.Y. Giants (NFC Divisional, Jan. 15): Appeared on both offense and special teams before

sustaining a knee injury in the third quarter that kept him out the remainder of the game. Scored the Packers’ first TD with an 8-yard catch from Rodgers on the first play of the second quar-ter.

1NFC Wild Card Playoff

JOHN KUHN GAME-BY-GAME

The twin American flags above Lambeau Field enter their 11th season in 2014. The impressively sized flags, 15 feet by 25 feet, were raised May 28, 2004, on Memorial Day weekend that year.

Located on top of the stadium’s indoor club seats on the north end of the facility, the flags are the culmination of the desire to improve Lambeau Field’s honoring of America, an effort first discussed in Fall 2003, at the end of the stadium’s 32-month renovation.

“Once the Lambeau Field redevelopment project was complete and we had our first games in the stadium, we realized the old flag and flagpole appeared a bit small compared to the larger size of the new facility,” said Packers then-CEO Bob Harlan.

“We needed something more prominent to appropriately honor our country and decid-ed to upgrade that component of the stadium. We also heard from a few fans that they had trouble locating the flag during the anthem, so this will definitely help in that area, too.

“The new, larger flags are a great way to honor America and the timing worked out for it to be done for Memorial Day weekend.”The flags are positioned atop 72-foot high flagpoles which are stationed on top of the northeast and northwest corners of the

stadium, above the club seats. All told, the flags are flying at 180 feet above ground.Once the plans were set, the team worked with Kocken and Associates, of De Pere, Wis., on the design and engineering of the project.

A major challenge of the design was ensuring both the structure and the flagpoles themselves could withstand the extreme wind load from the two large flags at that height.

Physical preparation for the new flagpoles began months prior with structural work, including reinforcing the area above the ceiling and on the roof with additional steel and concrete to support the extra load.

The two flags fly 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and are illuminated by spotlights at night.

punts for 141 yards (47.0 avg., 33.7 net), landing one inside the 20. Posted a career-high five touchbacks on his career-high-tying seven kickoffs…At Baltimore (Oct. 13): Recorded a career-high 54.8-yard gross average on six punts, matching Hentrich (54.8 on six punts vs. N.Y. Jets, Nov. 13, 1994) for the second-best single-game mark in team history (min. four punts)…At Minnesota (Oct. 27): Did not attempt a single punt in the 44-31 win, the first time Green Bay had not punted in a regular-season game since at Chicago on Dec. 17, 1989…Vs. Chicago (Nov. 4): Placed a season-high four punts in-side the 20, posting a 41.7-yard average and a 37.8-yard net average on his six punts. Allowed just one return by WR Devin Hester on the evening…Vs. Minnesota (Nov. 24): Totaled a season-high eight punts for 326 yards (40.8 avg., 40.8 net), landing three inside the 20-yard line…Vs. Atlanta (Dec. 8): Punted three times for 142 yards (47.3 avg., 44.7 net), landing two inside the 20. Delivered his season-long 62-yarder at a critical point in the fourth quarter as the Packers clung to a 22-21 lead with just under a minute remaining. The punt bounced to the Atlanta 1, where CB Robert McClain picked it up and returned it 8 yards, forcing the Falcons to have to drive into FG range with only 44 seconds remaining…Vs. Pittsburgh (Dec. 22): Landed one punt inside the 20, the 100th time during his career he had done so, to join Hentrich (104, 1994-97) as the only punters in franchise history (since 1976) to hit that plateau. Posted a 41.6-yard average and a 33.4-yard net average on his five punts and registered his third special teams tackle of the season.

2012: Showed continued improvement and consistency, refining specific areas of his game and turning in another solid season…Punted 70 times for 3,043 yards (43.5 avg., 38.9 net), landing a career-high and franchise-record-tying 30 inside the 20-yard line (Landeta, 1998)…Led a punt team that allowed the third-fewest return yards in the NFL (179) and ranked No. 5 in opponent return average (7.5)…The 179 yards allowed were the second fewest in franchise history (113 in 2007)…Had just five of his attempts go into the end zone for touchbacks, tying for the second fewest in club annals for a player with 70-plus punts in a season…Also completed a shovel pass on a fake FG attempt in Week 2 vs. Chicago, a play that went for a 27-yard TD…Had one tackle on special teams…Vs. San Francisco (Sept. 9): Opened the season with a difference-making performance against the 49ers. Punt-ed six times for 289 yards (48.6 avg., 41.5 net), landing four of them inside the 20-yard line and three of them inside the 10. Limited the 49ers to just one return and left them with an aver-age starting position at their own 16-yard line following his six attempts…Vs. Chicago (Sept. 13): Followed up the opener with a memorable performance in a Thursday night contest against the division rival. Punted five times for 238 yards (47.6 avg., 42.0 net), landing three inside the 20-yard line and limit-ing Hester to just 8 yards on two returns (4.0 avg.). Highlight play of his night came from his role as the team’s holder for placements. Flipped a shovel pass to TE Tom Crabtree on a fake FG attempt late in the second quarter that went for a 27-yard TD to convert a fourth-and-26. Was credited with his first career TD pass, becoming the first Green Bay punter to throw one since Ron Widby threw a 68-yarder to WR Dave Davis at Houston on Nov. 19, 1972. Was named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance…Vs. Arizona (Nov. 4): Finished with six punts for 255 yards (42.5 avg., 36.0 net), landing three inside the 20-yard line. Contributed to a field-position battle that the Packers won by 263 yards (579-316). Saw a fourth-quarter punt muffed by CB Patrick Peterson at the Arizona 10-yard line that was recovered by CB Jarrett Bush at the 2…At Minnesota (Dec. 30): Punted three times for 128 yards (42.7 avg., 30.7 net). Had his final punt in the second quarter downed by LB Robert Francois at the Vikings’ 11-yard line, his franchise-record-tying 30th of the season to be downed inside the opponent’s 20...Vs. Minnesota (NFC Wild Card, Jan. 5): Tied his postseason career high with

eight punts, landing three inside the 20-yard line and forcing five fair catches. Helped cause a turnover with his kick early in the fourth quarter that was muffed by CB Marcus Sherels and recovered by LB Dezman Moses. Also held for Crosby’s 20-yard FG in the second quarter, a successful conversion that set a new franchise record, as it was his sixth consecutive make in the playoffs (all of which were held by Masthay). 2011: Punted 55 times for 2,506 yards, setting the franchise record for gross average (45.6) and what was then a career high in net average (38.6), and landed 23 of his kicks inside the opponent’s 20-yard line…Bested the previous gross-punting mark of 45.0 set by Hentrich in 1997 and topped the net-average record of 37.6 he had shared with Ryan (2007) after 2010...Similar to his inaugural campaign, grew stronger as the season wore on and was especially effective in the fi-nal 10 games when he posted averages of 48.1 (gross) and 43.6 (net), dropping 19 of his 34 attempts inside the 20…Also became the first punter in team history to have back-to-back games with four or more punts inside the 20, doing so in Weeks 12 and 13…Served as the team’s holder for the sec-ond consecutive season, helping Crosby to an 85.7 field goal percentage…Vs. St. Louis (Oct. 16): Punted five times for 222 yards (44.4 avg.), including a then-career-long 67-yarder in the fourth quarter that was the longest by a Green Bay player since Ryan’s 72-yarder vs. Detroit on Dec. 30, 2007. Recorded his lone special teams tackle of the season when he took down WR Austin Pettis after a 39-yard return early in the fourth quarter…At Minnesota (Oct. 23): Set career highs in both gross (59.3) and net (55.3) averages (min. three attempts), landing three punts inside the 20-yard line, help-ing to limit Minnesota to an average starting position at their own 20 on 11 possessions. Net average was the highest by a Packer with three or more attempts since the NFL began track-ing net punting in 1976. Was also the highest gross average by a Green Bay punter with three or more attempts since Don Chandler’s 59.7 mark on Oct. 10, 1965. The most critical of his kicks was a 64-yarder that came late in the fourth quarter when the Packers punted from their own 34-yard line holding a narrow 33-27 advantage. Had to rush to get the ball off as it was nearly blocked by DE Everson Griffen, booming the kick deep into Vikings territory and getting a roll that took it to the Minnesota 2-yard line. Also held for Crosby’s franchise-record 58-yard FG in the third quarter…Vs. Tampa Bay (Nov. 20): Had three punts for 163 yards (54.3 avg., 42.3 net), landing one inside the 20. Also recorded his first career carry when LB Jacob Cutrera came free on a rush, forcing Masthay to pull the ball down and run. Cutrera punched the ball out, but Masthay recovered it in stride and advanced 6 yards for a first down…At Detroit (Nov. 24): Punted five times for 207 yards (41.4 avg., 37.8 net), dropping a season-high four punts inside the Detroit 20-yard line, a key factor in the Packers winning the game’s field-position battle by more than 150 yards. Average starting position for the Lions following his five punts was their own 16-yard line and he was instrumental in limiting re-turn man WR Stefan Logan to just one return that resulted in a 2-yard loss…At N.Y. Giants (Dec. 4): Earned NFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors for the second time in his career after punting five times for 221 yards (44.2 avg., 44.2 net), landing four of his kicks inside the 20-yard line for the second consecutive week, and not allowing the Giants a single return. Became the first punter in franchise history to drop four or more punts inside the 20 in back-to-back games since the statistic began being recorded in 1976. The Giants’ aver-age starting position following his five punts was at their own 13-yard line, and their possessions that followed his punts ended with an INT, three punts of their own and a FG. It marked his second career game at MetLife Stadium and he won NFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors following both of them…At Kansas City (Dec. 18): Punted five times for 267 yards (53.4 avg., 46.2 net), dropping three inside the 20 and seeing his career-long 71-yard kick come in the second

quarter. The gross and net averages were both season highs (min. four attempts).

2010: Handled all punting duties during the regular season, registering a 43.9-yard gross average and a 37.6-yard net average…His net average tied the best mark by a Packers punter (since 1976) to that point, matching Ryan’s net aver-age in 2007…Also served as the holder for all placements and field goals…Dropped 25 punts inside the 20 on the season, the most by a Green Bay punter since Hentrich’s 26 in 2002…After getting off to a slow start, was one of the most effective punters in the league over the second half of the season…Ranked No. 3 in the NFL in net average (39.9), No. 9 in gross average (44.2), and tied for No. 4 in punts inside the 20 (20) over the final nine contests…Posted a 40.2-yard gross aver-age and a 34.7-yard net average on 18 punts in the postsea-son…At Philadelphia (Sept. 12): Recorded a 41.5-yard average with a net average of 38.0 on four punts in his NFL debut. Helped limit WR DeSean Jackson to just 14 yards on a pair of returns…At N.Y. Jets (Oct. 31): Dropped five punts inside the 20, tying David Beverly (vs. Chicago, Oct. 28, 1978) for the single-game franchise record (since 1976) on his way to earning NFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors. Be-came just the second punter in franchise history to receive that recognition, joining Hentrich (Week 11, 1994, vs. N.Y. Jets). Despite punting eight times on the afternoon, the Jets did not record any punt-return yardage, the first time the Packers had allowed no return yards since vs. Tampa Bay (Nov. 16, 2003). The Jets’ best starting field position following a punt was their own 23, which proved critical in the Packers’ 9-0 victory…At Detroit (Dec. 12): Posted season highs (min. four attempts) with a 50.5-yard gross avg. and a net avg. of 43.4. Placed three punts inside the 20 and booted a career-long 62-yarder in the first quarter. Became the first punter in franchise history to post a 50-yard average in a game with eight or more attempts. Posted four 50-yard punts on the af-ternoon, becoming the first to do so since Ryan recorded the same number at Minnesota (Nov. 12, 2006)…Vs. Chicago (Jan. 2): With a playoff berth on the line, had a strong show-ing in challenging conditions against the league’s best return man in Hester. Dropped four of his eight punts inside the 20 and recorded a 36.6-yard net avg. Limited Hester to just two returns, with neither going beyond the Chicago 30. Repeatedly pinned the Bears deep in their own territory, highlighted by two kicks in the fourth quarter that were downed at the Chicago 3 and 2, respectively. Combined with his effort at the N.Y. Jets in Week 8, became the first punter in franchise history to post four-plus punts inside the 20 in two games in a season…At Atlanta (NFC Divisional, Jan. 15): Was limited to holding on PATs and FGs. It marked the first time in franchise history that the Packers did not punt during a postseason contest…At Chicago (NFC Championship, Jan. 23): A key contribu-tor in the victory, punting eight times with a gross average of

41.8 and a net average of 34.5. Limited Hester to a 5.3-yard return average and a long return of 11 yards on three returns. Set a franchise postseason record with his 65-yard punt in the third quarter. Biggest punt came with 3:07 remaining and the Packers holding a 21-14 lead. From the Green Bay 24, drilled a 58-yard punt to the Chicago 18 that Hester returned 11 yards before being brought down by CB Brandon Underwood at the Bears’ 29 for a 47-yard net…Vs. Pittsburgh (Super Bowl XLV, Feb. 6): Punted six times, registering a 40.5-yard gross average and a 36.3-yard net average. Helped limit the Steelers to just 5 total punt return yards.

EARNING THE HONOR

While the Packers achieved the ultimate team success on the fi eld in 2010, winning the franchise’s 13th world championship and fourth Super Bowl, there were also a number of individual accolades that accompanied the collective accomplishment.

When the initial voting for the Pro Bowl was released, fi ve Green Bay players (T Chad Clifton, S Nick Collins, WR Greg Jennings, LB Clay Matthews and CB Charles Woodson) were named to the NFC’s all-star team. Following the addition of three alternates (WR Donald Driver, LB A.J. Hawk, and CB Tramon Williams), the Packers’ list grew to eight players. The eight selections tied for the second most in team history and was the largest representation the organization had on the Pro Bowl roster since it sent nine in 1967.

Fortunately, though, none of the Packers’ selections ever appeared in the game (played Jan. 30, 2011), as they were preoccupied with preparations for the upcoming Super Bowl XLV on Feb. 6.

2013 SEASON: Endured a frustrating season that was derailed twice by a broken right thumb, an injury that ultimately ended his season in Week 16…First sustained the fracture in Week 5 vs. Detroit (Oct. 5), missing the ensuing four games (Weeks 6-9), before returning with a restrictive club cast in Week 10…Played Weeks 10-16 with casts of decreasing size before aggravating the injury vs. Pittsburgh in Week 16 and ulti-mately being shut down for the season…Both times, the injuries were suffered on sack plays…For the season, he started all 11 games in which he appeared, posting 50 tackles (30 solo), a team-leading 7½ sacks, three passes defensed and a team-high and career-high-tying three forced fumbles…Final sack of the season marked the 50th of his career, making him just the fifth player in franchise history (since 1982) to reach the half-century mark…At San Francisco (Sept. 8): Delivered an impactful performance, seeing time on 71 defensive plays and posting a career-high 10 tackles (eight solo), including three for a loss and a sack. First TFL came on San Francisco’s second drive when he shot inside of FB Bruce Miller and buried RB Kendall Hunter for a 7-yard loss. First sack of the season came late in the second quarter when he rushed to the inside of the protection and beat LG Mike Iupati to take down QB Colin Kaepernick for a 6-yard loss…At Cincinnati (Sept. 22): Finished with two tackles (both solo, both for a loss), a sack and a career-high two forced fumbles (that were recovered by the Packers), despite exiting the game just before halftime with a hamstring injury. First forced fumble came on a third-and-1 play with the Packers trailing 14-3 in the second quarter. The Bengals attempted a running play to the opposite side off of RT, but Matthews read the play and flew down the line to hit RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis and jar the ball loose, where it was recovered by S M.D. Jennings and returned 24 yards for a TD. Posted his first strip-sack of the season on the Bengals’ next drive when he drilled QB Andy Dalton and knocked the ball out, where it was recovered by LB Brad Jones. His pair of turnovers resulted in 10 points amidst a 30-point unanswered stretch by Green Bay in the second and third quarters…Vs. Detroit (Oct. 6): Started and appeared on 42 defensive plays before departing in the third quarter with the thumb injury. Fin-ished with six tackles (three solo), his third sack of the season and a pass defensed. Suffered the injury on the sack play when he came free off the edge and dropped QB Matthew Stafford for a 12-yard loss…Vs. Philadelphia (Nov. 10): Returned to ac-tion after missing four games due to the thumb injury, wearing a protective club cast on his right hand. Started the game at ROLB and appeared on 36 defensive plays, finishing with three tackles (one solo)...At Dallas (Dec. 15): Posted three tackles (one solo), a half-sack, five QB hits and a pressure. Late in the fourth quarter, crashed toward QB Tony Romo on a run fake, missing the sack but creating enough pressure to rush the play and force Romo to misfire on a throw that was intercepted by CB Sam Shields and set up the Packers’ game-winning TD drive…Vs. Pittsburgh (Dec. 22): Started and appeared on 21 defensive plays before re-injuring his thumb on a second-quarter sack of

QB Ben Roethlisberger, one that forced him from the game. The sack was the 50th of his career as he became just the fifth player in franchise history to hit the half-century mark. 2012: Made the offseason transition back to his original posi-tion of ROLB and flourished in his return to what is the blindside for most QBs…Was on track to have what would have been his most prolific statistical season when a hamstring injury sustained in the second half of a Week 10 contest vs. Arizona sidelined him for the ensuing four games…Finished the regu-lar season having played in 12 games (all starts), posting 60 tackles (45 solo), 13 sacks, four passes defensed and a forced fumble…Selected to the Pro Bowl, becoming the first player in franchise history to be named to the all-star game in each of his first four seasons in the league…Was also named a second-team All-Pro by AP …The sack total was the second highest of his career and ranked fifth in the NFL and second in the NFC, despite his missing a month of action…Marked his third dou-ble-digit sack season, placing him third all-time in team history in that category behind DEs Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila and White (four)…Also started both playoff games and added three sacks, bringing his career total to 7½, trailing only White for the most in franchise postseason history (eight)…Vs. San Francisco (Sept. 9): Finished the season opener with four tackles (three solo) and 2½ sacks. Beat LT Joe Staley twice for sacks of QB Alex Smith during the game, the seventh multi-sack outing of his career…Vs. Chicago (Sept. 13): Had one of the most dominant outings of his career, finishing with seven tackles (six solo), a career-high 3½ sacks and a pass defensed. Combined with his efforts in Week 1, the six sacks matched his personal best for the most sacks in a two-game span in his career (also had six in Weeks 1-2 of 2010). The 3½ sacks were the most in a game by a Green Bay defender since Gbaja-Biamila had four at Chicago on Jan. 2, 2005, and the yardage total (29) was the second highest of his career and helped result in a net passing total of 74 yards for the Bears…At Houston (Oct. 14): Did not trigger the sack column, but was a menace in the run game and was a key part of a front that limited Pro Bowl RB Arian Foster to a career-low 1.7-yard average (min. 15 att.) on 17 car-ries for 29 yards. Had back-to-back plays to thwart a drive in the first quarter, first beating LT Duane Brown to trip up Foster for a 1-yard loss in the backfield and then exploding between C and LG to force QB Matt Schaub into a throwaway on third down that forced a punt…Vs. Arizona (Nov. 4): Started the game and appeared on 35 plays before suffering a hamstring injury in the third quarter. Fell awkwardly while wrapping up QB John Skelton and limped off following the play and did not return…At Chicago (Dec. 16): Returned to action after mis-ing four games and made his presence felt almost immediately. Finished with seven tackles (all solo), two sacks and a pass de-fensed. Made both of his sacks on stunts through the middle of the Bears’ protection unit. Also was active in the run game, twice tackling RB Matt Forté behind the line of scrimmage for

A FRANCHISE FIRST Packers LB Clay Matthews has enjoyed a meteoric rise since Green Bay traded up to select him as the second of two first-round picks in the 2009 NFL Draft. A one-time collegiate walk-on, he has developed into one of the most dynamic and impactful defensive players in the league. The early portion of Matthews’ career in Green Bay has been defined by an instinctive, all-out style that features a knack for game-changing plays. His popularity amongst fans is equaled by the respect he garners from players, coaches and media alike, and it is that combina-tion that has made him a recurring candidate for several postseason awards. In 2009, Matthews became the first Green Bay rookie since WR James Lofton in 1978 to be selected to the Pro Bowl, and went on to be voted to the all-star team each of his first four seasons. In doing so, he became the first player in franchise history to earn the honor in each of his first four seasons in the league and is one of only six active players to have achieved the feat. A look at the other five current players to have gone to the Pro Bowl in each of their first four seasons:

Player Position Team Seasons Charles Woodson CB Oakland Raiders 1998-2001 Adrian Peterson RB Minnesota Vikings 2007-13 Joe Thomas T Cleveland Browns 2007-13 Patrick Willis LB San Francisco 49ers 2007-13 Jake Long T Miami Dolphins 2008-11 Clay Matthews LB Green Bay Packers 2009-12

losses…Vs. Minnesota (NFC Wild Card, Jan. 5): Deliv-ered another difference-making performance in the postseason, setting the tone for a defense that dominated the Vikings for the first three quarters as the Packers mounted a 24-3 lead. Finished with five tackles (four solo), two sacks, six QB hits and a forced fumble that he also recovered. Beat T Matt Kalil around the edge on Minnesota’s first drive of the third quarter, punch-ing the ball free from QB Joe Webb and quickly recovering it. Also helped cause another turnover later in the quarter as he diagnosed a play-action bootleg to his side, breaking down on Webb in the open field and forcing an errant throw that was intercepted by CB Sam Shields downfield.

2011: Voted a Pro Bowl starter for the NFC for the second consecutive season and became the first Packer since RB John Brockington (1971-73) to be named to the all-star game in each of his first three seasons in the NFL…Was again one of two OLBs to earn All-NFC honors from Pro Football Weekly/PFWA…Started each of the first 15 games before being rested in the reg-ular-season finale with the No. 1 seed in the playoffs secured…For the season, tallied 69 tackles (49 solo), six sacks and three forced fumbles…Marked his third straight season leading the team in sacks and despite the lower total, his combined 38½ QB knockdowns and hurries still ranked No. 4 in the NFL ac-cording to STATS LLC…Also showed continued development in pass coverage, registering new career highs with nine passes defensed and three interceptions, one of which he returned for a TD…The TD return came at the N.Y. Giants in Week 13 when he intercepted QB Eli Manning and raced 38 yards down the sideline, becoming the first player in franchise history to score a defensive TD in each of his first three seasons in the league…Joined Miami’s Kevin Burnett as the only two NFL LBs to return an interception for a TD in both 2010 and 2011…Vs. New Or-leans (Sept. 8): Recorded five tackles (three solo, one for a loss), and was an integral part of a short-yardage defensive stand to help preserve a victory in the season opener for the second consecutive year. On the game’s final play, got clear of T Charles Brown and fought off a block from TE David Thomas to lay the initial hit on RB Mark Ingram at the goal line as time expired to preserve the 42-34 win…Vs. St. Louis (Oct. 16): Credited with two tackles (one solo), a career-high three passes defensed and his second sack of the season in the team’s 24-3 win. Registered his first sack since Week 2 on the Rams’ final drive of the game after he lined up on the inside and darted past LG Jacob Bell to drop Bradford for a 7-yard loss that re-sulted in a turnover on downs and allowed Green Bay to run out the remaining time…Vs. Minnesota (Nov. 14): Posted six tackles (five solo) and a season-high two sacks, the sixth multi-sack game of his career. Sacked QB Christian Ponder on the Vikings’ opening drive of the game, also jarring the ball loose, but it was recovered by Minnesota. Second sack came in the third quarter when he ripped his way past RT Phil Loadholt and chased Ponder before slamming him down for an 11-yard loss on a drive that ended with a turnover on downs...At N.Y. Gi-ants (Dec. 4): Had arguably his best all-around performance of the season. Finished with three tackles (two solo) and forced two turnovers with a strip-sack and his then-career-high second INT. Became the first Packers LB since Nick Barnett in 2003 to record an INT in back-to-back games when he intercepted Manning on the first play of the second quarter, returning it 38 yards for a TD, his second career INT-TD. On the play, stepped in front of Manning’s pass intended for RB Ahmad Bradshaw in the right flat, catching the ball in stride and going untouched down the sideline to give Green Bay its first lead, 14-10. With the return, became the first player in franchise history to score a defensive TD (fumble or INT return) in each of his first three seasons in the league and tied Mike Douglass for first place in franchise history for TD returns among LBs. Later in the quarter, recorded his sixth sack of the season when he fought past RT Kareem McKenzie and hit Manning, forcing the ball out as the QB cocked his arm back to release it. NT B.J. Raji picked up the ball and upon review, it was ruled a fumble, robbing the Giants

of yet another possession. With the sack, tied Bennett’s team record for most sacks in his first three seasons with 29½…At Kansas City (Dec. 18): Posted nine tackles (six solo) and a QB hit. Stayed home on an end-around to RB Dexter McCluster in the second quarter, forcing the elusive RB to the inside, where LB D.J. Smith and DE C.J. Wilson tackled him for a 1-yard loss. Also maintained close coverage on McCluster on a third-down red-zone play in the fourth quarter, tackling him at the Pack-ers’ 2-yard line to force a FG…Vs. Chicago (Dec. 25): Once again made a series of impactful plays during the game, finish-ing with eight tackles (six solo, one for a loss), a QB hit, and a forced fumble, and added to his career high with his third INT of the season. The tackle for a loss and the forced fumble came when he blew up a second-quarter screen pass from QB Josh McCown to RB Kahlil Bell. On the play, had dropped in coverage but diagnosed the screen, racing forward and slipping past G Chris Spencer to hit Bell for a 3-yard loss and jar the ball loose, but it was recovered by McCown. Six plays later in the drive, he made another turnover play when he noticed FB Tyler Clutts releasing behind him into the right flat and stepped back from his rush, jumping to intercept McCown, who tried to complete it to the FB, his third INT of the season…Vs. Detroit (Jan. 1): Was listed as a gameday inactive as the coaching staff chose to rest him in advance of the postseason with the team having already clinched the NFC’s No. 1 seed. Snapped a streak of 29 consecutive starts (including playoffs) that dated back to Week 6 of the 2010 regular season. 2010: Appeared in 15 games, starting all of those at LOLB, along with four starts there in the postseason…Selected as a Pro Bowl starter for the first time…Named first team All-Pro by AP, the first Green Bay linebacker to earn that honor since Harris in 1989…Finished second to Polamalu in the AP’s De-fensive Player of the Year voting…Was named NFL Defensive MVP by Pro Football Weekly, and also earned NFC Defensive Player of the Year recognition from Sporting News and the Com-mittee of 101…Earned All-NFC recognition from Pro Football Weekly…Led the team with 13½ sacks, which ranked No. 2 in the NFC and No. 4 in the NFL…Posted a career-high 83 tackles (55 solo), good for fourth on the team, and led the team with 40 QB hits…Added his first career INT, which he returned for a TD, four passes defensed and two forced fumbles…Led the defense with 3½ sacks in the playoffs, a franchise record for a single postseason…Added 20 tackles (18 solo), a fumble recovery, a forced fumble and a pass defensed…Didn’t play at all during the preseason due to a left hamstring injury sustained in the Family Night Scrimmage on Aug. 7…A re-aggravation of that injury would force him to miss the Week 6 contest vs. Miami…At Philadelphia (Sept. 12): Led the team with three sacks and a career-best nine tackles (eight solo). Added four QB hits, a forced fumble and a pass defensed. Dropped QB Kevin Kolb for an 8-yard loss on the Eagles’ third play, and sacked the QB once more in the second quarter, forcing a fumble that went out of bounds on third down; Kolb sustained a concussion on the play. Added a sack of QB Michael Vick in the third quarter, and then on a fourth-and-1 on the final drive of the game, dove to wrap up Vick for no gain with assistance from Barnett and Jones to preserve the 27-20 win…Vs. Buffalo (Sept. 19): Posted his second straight three-sack game, becoming the first player in team history (since 1982) to do so. Earned NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors for the performance, which included seven tackles (four solo). Set a team record for the most sacks in the first two games of a season with six. Dropped QB Trent Edwards for a 13-yard loss on third down of the Bills’ opening possession, and added two more sacks in the second half to total 33 yards in losses, the most by a Packer since White’s 35 yards on two sacks vs. Minnesota (Oct. 22, 1995)…At Washington (Oct. 10): Recorded six tackles (five solo), 1½ sacks, six QB hits and a pass defensed, but injured his left ham-string late in the third quarter and did not return. Split a 7-yard sack with Raji in the second quarter and dropped QB Donovan McNabb for a 2-yard loss on the Redskins’ next possession…

Jarred the ball loose before finishing the hit by taking Mendenhall to the ground. LB Desmond Bishop recov-ered the ball at the Green Bay 38 and rumbled 7 yards before being tackled. The Packers cashed in on the turnover with an 8-yard TD pass from QB Aaron Rodgers to WR Greg Jennings eight plays later, extending their lead to 28-17, ultimately the difference in the game.

Detroit (Oct. 18): Started for the first time in Green Bay’s base defense at ROLB, and posted a season-high two sacks, the first Green Bay rookie to do so since Vonnie Hol-liday (Nov. 15, 1998, at N.Y. Giants). Added five tackles (four solo), and was in on two stops for a loss. Earned Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week honors, voted on by fans at NFL.com, for his performance…Vs. Dallas (Nov. 15): Recovered two fumbles to become the first Packers rookie to do so in a game since DB Val Joe Walker on Nov. 26, 1953, at Detroit. Second one came on a CB Charles Woodson strip-sack of QB Tony Romo; scooped the ball up at the Dallas 7 and returned 4 yards to the 3 to set up a Rodgers TD pass to TE Spencer Havner three plays later. Also posted sack of Romo in the second quarter when he beat veteran LT Flozell Adams. Earned Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week honors for the performance…At Baltimore (Dec. 7): Matched his season high with two sacks and added six tackles (all solo) and three QB hits on his way to earning NFC Defensive Player of the Week recognition…At Pittsburgh (Dec. 20): Recorded a season-high eight tackles (six solo), two sacks, three QB hits, two pressures and a tackle for loss.

Beat LT Jeremy Bridges off the edge to sack QB Kurt Warner on a first-quarter flea-flicker; also forced a fumble on the sack, but Bridges recovered. With the Packers trailing 17-0 early in the second quarter and the Cardinals threatening again, recovered fumble by WR Larry Fitzgerald that was forced by Woodson at the Arizona 19; returned the fumble 29 yards out to Green Bay’s 48. Became the first NFL rookie in playoff history to record a sack, a forced fumble and a defensive fumble recovery in the same game…2009 Draft: Drafted by the Packers with the second of two first-round picks (No. 26 overall), the first time Green Bay had two selections in the first round since 1993.

ANDY MULUMBA’S PRO STATISTICS

In 1947, the NFL implemented a new team statistic, yards lost attempting to pass. The new category allowed the league to separate gross yards passing from net yards, to more accurately reflect a team’s passing performance. Net passing yards included yards lost by backs tackled on passing plays.

In 1963, Seymour Siwoff, president of the league’s official statistical company, the Elias Sports Bureau, made a suggestion. Recognizing the “yards lost attempting to pass” figure needed a complement, he argued for a new category: number of times losing yards attempting to pass. The league agreed, and one of the NFL’s top executives, Jim Kensil, first coined the term “sack,” which is a dark-ages word, meaning to plunder a captured town. Kensil, who handled NFL public relations among other respon-sibilities, popularized the term in his stories and publicity materials.

In 1982, convinced by member team PR directors (many of whom were convinced by their players), Elias and the NFL agreed to make individual sacks an official number. New rules were written, such as only two players can share in a sack.

Today, it’s arguably the game’s most popular defensive stat. Siwoff, whose bureau also tracks official numbers for MLB, the NBA and the NHL, still has the final word on every challenged sack, spending Tuesday or Wednesday in the film room at the league office.

Flashed the playmaking ability that made him a promising prospect when healthy his rookie season, ap-pearing on 32 plays and recording a sack and three QB hits during the game. The sack came on a stunt with Matthews in the second quarter, when he went around the outside and cor-ralled QB Andrew Luck for a 9-yard loss, moving Indianapolis from Green Bay’s 26-yard line back to the 35 where an ultimate 53-yard FG attempt was unsuccessful. Sack was the second of his career and first since Oct. 10, 2010, at Washington…Vs.

On the sack, beat RT Jason Fox on the Lions’ two-minute drive before halftime, dropping QB Matthew Stafford for a 4-yard loss…At N.Y. Giants (Nov. 17): Started at LOLB and saw action on 50 plays, tallying four tackles (two solo, one for loss) and his second sack of the season.

in franchise postseason history behind only Freeman (308 in 1997) and Jennings (303 in 2010)…At Philadelphia (Sept. 12): Posted a 31.2-yard average on five kickoff returns, the best mark by a Packer with five-plus returns since WR Roell Preston’s 32.0-yard average on eight returns vs. Minnesota (Oct. 5, 1998). Had returns of 51 and 40 yards in the second half, the first time in his career he had two 40-yard returns in the same game, and was awarded a game ball by the coach-ing staff…At N.Y. Jets (Oct. 31): Posted a season-high five catches for 55 yards (11.0 avg.). Made a clutch reception in the fourth quarter, hauling in a 14-yard pass over the middle to convert a third down. The catch helped set up Crosby’s second FG, a 41-yarder that put Green Bay up 6-0 with just under four minutes left…At Atlanta (Nov. 28): Matched his season high for receptions with five for 61 yards (12.2 avg.), including a 10-yard bullet in the back of the end zone on fourth down from Rodgers with 56 seconds remaining that tied the game at 17-17…Vs.

Became just the fourth receiver in Super Bowl history with nine-plus receptions for at least 140 yards and a TD, joining Washington’s Ricky Sanders (XXII), San Francisco’s Jerry Rice (Super Bowl XXIII and XXIX) and New England’s Deion Branch (XXXVIII). The nine catches tied RB Edgar Bennett (at Dallas, Jan. 16, 1994) and Freeman (vs. Denver, Jan 25, 1998) for the most by a Packer in the post-season and tied the third-highest total by any NFL player in a Super Bowl. His yardage total was the most by an individual in any of the franchise’s five Super Bowl appearances and was the fourth-highest single-game total in team postseason history. Scored his TD from 29 yards out on a third-and-1 on the of-fense’s second drive of the game when he ran a go route along the right sideline against CB William Gay, jumping up to haul the ball in at the 3-yard line before falling into the end zone.

Detroit (Oct. 18): Returned one kickoff for 29 yards, but sustained a sprained knee on his first punt return of the game, a muffed catch that he recovered at the Green Bay 22; the injury sidelined him for the remainder of the game and the next three contests…Vs. Dallas (Nov. 15): Returned from the knee injury and post-ed a season-high four receptions for 32 yards (8.0 avg.)…At Pittsburgh (Dec. 20): Caught four passes for a season-high 71 yards (17.8 avg.)…At Arizona (Jan. 3): Posted the lon-gest catch of his career to that point when he beat CB Michael Adams deep down the middle and made a leaping 51-yard grab at Arizona’s 1-yard line; Rodgers took it in for a TD on a QB sneak on the next play. Returned three kickoffs for a 29.7-yard average, highlighted by a career-long 54-yard return late in the fourth quarter. Became first Packer since AFL-NFL merger in 1970 to post a 50-yard reception and a 50-yard kickoff return in the same game…At Arizona (NFC Wild Card, Jan. 10): Caught an 11-yard TD pass late in the third quarter, making the grab at Arizona’s 5 from a scrambling Rodgers and then beating CB Bryant McFadden to the end zone.

Dallas (Sept. 21): Established season high with four receptions for 42 yards (10.5 avg.), all of them coming in the second half. Would match reception total twice in the next three games…At Tennessee (Nov. 2): Started his first career game as the Packers opened up in a three-WR set and had two catches for 34 yards (17.0 avg.). Posted a 40-yard kick-off return in the second quarter…2008 Draft: Selected in the second round (36th overall), the third WR taken. The choice was obtained from the N.Y. Jets, along with a fourth-round se-lection (113th overall), in exchange for Green Bay’s first-round pick (30th overall).

VETERANS

On Dec. 6, 1961, three days after the Packers clinched the Western Conference title and were assured of playing host to an NFL Championship Game in Green Bay for the first time, civic leaders adopted the nickname, “Titletown, U.S.A.” Some 110 men and women from all walks of civic and business life in Green Bay agreed to the idea – the brainchild of Jack Yuenger, the Green Bay Press-Gazette’s advertising manager at the time – during a breakfast at the old downtown Beaumont Hotel. Festivities were to start following the Packers’ final regular-season game in Los Angeles on Dec. 17. The group made plans to hang Titletown banners and signs in the downtown area; held a number of events, including a Dec. 23 Christmas party for the Packers at the Brown County Veterans Memorial Arena; and wrote a song, Titletown, U.S.A., to the tune of Mr. Touchdown. The community enthusiastically greeted the idea to the point where it still uses the nickname, and the Packers did their part on Dec. 31 by beating the Giants, 37-0, in the first postseason game ever played at what is now Lambeau Field.

VETERANSNICK

PERRYLINEBACKER • SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAThird NFL Season • Third Packers Season

Ht: 6-3 Wt: 265 • Born: April 12, 1990 • NFL Games Played/Started: 17/11 • Acquired: D1-12

AT A GLANCE …• Has battled injuries in each of his first two seasons, but has

been productive when healthy, tallying six sacks and three forced fumbles in 17 professional contests.

• Posted career highs in every statistical category in 2013, in-cluding games played (11), starts (six), tackles (42), solo tackles (22), sacks (four), forced fumbles (three) and passes defensed (one).

• Earned first-team All-Pacific-12 recognition as a junior at Southern California in 2011, registering a team-high and ca-reer-best 9½ sacks. His sack total led the Pac-12 and was tied for No. 14 nationally.

• Was one of six finalists for the Hendricks Award following his junior season in college, a distinction given to the nation’s top defensive end, and was named a second-team All-American by CBSSports.com.

• Was a first-team All-USA selection by USA Today and a Parade All-American at Martin Luther King High in Detroit.

• As a senior at King, posted a state-record 36 sacks as he helped lead the team to a 14-0 record and a state championship. At-tended Detroit’s Mackenzie High for his first three seasons before the school closed.

• Became the fifth first-round pick out of the University of Southern California in team history, joining Al Carmichael (1953), Ken Reuttgers (1985), John Michels (1996) and Clay Matthews (2009).

PRO HIGHLIGHTS: ➤ Battled foot and ankle injuries during the 2013 season, but

was productive when healthy and posted new career highs in every statistical category, including games played (11), starts (six), tackles (42), solo tackles (22), sacks (four), forced fum-bles (three) and passes defensed (one).

➤ Top draft choice that made the difficult transition from play-ing defensive end in college to stand-up outside linebacker at the pro level. Opened five of the first six contests of his rookie season in 2012, collecting 29 tackles (18 solo) and two sacks from the LOLB position.

➤ A true power player who showed little difficulty physically adjusting to the NFL before suffering a knee injury in Week 6 of 2012 at Houston (Oct. 14), and later having surgery on a lin-gering wrist ailment that ultimately ended his season. Placed on injured reserve on Nov. 7.

➤ Drafted by the Packers with the No. 28 overall selection in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft. Was the first defen-sive player from Southern California to be selected in the first round of the NFL Draft since the Packers picked Clay Matthews with the No. 26 overall selection in 2009.

2013 SEASON: Showed progress as a pass rusher and an increased comfort level with his role in the scheme in the season’s early going, starting four of the first five games be-fore suffering a foot injury at Baltimore in Week 6 that shelved him for Weeks 7-9…Returned in Week 10 vs. Philadelphia, but was hampered by the injury and was again sidelined for Weeks 11-12 before returning to play the final five games and the team’s playoff contest…Was productive when healthy and by season’s end, he had posted career highs in every statisti-cal category, including games played (11), starts (six), tackles (42), solo tackles (22), sacks (four), forced fumbles (three) and passes defensed (one)…His forced-fumble total tied Mat-thews for the team lead…Due to injuries at the position, played extensively in the team’s Wild Card playoff contest, recording the first postseason sack of his career…Vs. Detroit (Oct. 6): Appeared on 39 defensive plays and delivered his most impactful performance as a pro, earning one of the defensive game balls after tallying five tackles (three solo, two for a loss), a career-high two sacks and a forced fumble during the game. On his first sack, ripped his way underneath LT Riley Reiff to drop QB Matthew Stafford for a 7-yard loss. His second sack included the forced fumble when he again fought past Reiff and stripped Stafford, though the ball was recovered by the Lions for a 9-yard loss…At Baltimore (Oct. 13): Started at ROLB with Matthews sidelined due to a thumb injury. Ap-peared on 33 plays and finished with six tackles (five solo), a sack and a forced fumble. The sack came just before half-time when he got past LT Eugene Monroe and stripped QB Joe Flacco of the ball from behind. The ball was recovered by DE Datone Jones, who managed a 20-yard return to set up a 31-yard FG by K Mason Crosby on the final play of the first half. Suffered a foot injury during the game that forced him out of action for the ensuing three games…At Detroit (Nov. 28): Returned to practice during the week and was back in the lineup for his first-ever professional contest in his hometown. Appeared on 40 defensive plays and posted seven tackles (two

solo), including a sack that caused a forced fumble and was returned for a TD. On the sack, beat Reiff around the corner and stripped Stafford at the Detroit 12-yard line. The ball car-omed backward before being picked up by S Morgan Burnett at the 1 and carried into the end zone for the score…Vs. San Francisco (NFC Wild Card, Jan. 5): Made his postseason debut and was pressed into extended action after fellow OLB Mike Neal suffered a knee injury on the 49ers’ fifth offensive snap and did not return. Appeared on 59 defensive plays and posted six tackles (four solo) and the first playoff sack of his career. The sack came in the third quarter when he ran a twist to the inside and slipped through a crease between C and LG to drop QB Colin Kaepernick for an 8-yard loss.

2012: Was plugged in at LOLB in the team’s rookie mini-camp following the draft and remained there all the way into the regular season…Undertook the difficult task of transition-ing from playing down as a 4-3 defensive end in college to a stand-up OLB in the Packers’ 3-4 front…His ability to anchor and set the edge against the run allowed the coaching staff to move Matthews back to the ROLB spot, where he again delivered elite production as a pass rusher…Started five of the first six games at LOLB and made 29 tackles (18 solo) and two sacks…Despite starting all but one game in which he played, was typically rotated with veteran LB Erik Walden…Suffered a wrist injury early in the season and attempted to play through it with a soft cast…Was later sidelined by a knee injury in the team’s Week 6 contest at Houston, after which he received a second opinion on his wrist and underwent season-ending surgery…Was placed on injured reserve on Nov. 7…Vs. San Francisco (Sept. 9): Made his NFL debut as the starter at LOLB, and was tied for second on the defense with

a season-high nine tackles (seven solo)…At Seattle (Sept. 24): Started at LOLB and tallied eight tackles (two solo) and his first career sack. Sack came in the third quarter when he chased down QB Russell Wilson for a 19-yard loss, forcing a third-and-32 on a drive that ultimately ended with a punt…At Indianapolis (Oct. 5): Did not start, but saw his snaps split almost evenly with Walden and finished with seven tackles (four solo) and a sack. The sack was bittersweet as he came free off the left side and delivered a jarring hit to QB Andrew Luck, knocking the ball loose on what was initially an 8-yard loss. The play was flagged as officials ruled that he led with the crown of his helmet on the hit and a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty was enforced, nullifying the fumble and lost yardage…At Houston (Oct. 14): Started and appeared on 10 plays, making a solo tackle. Suffered a knee injury early in the second quarter and did not return...2012 Draft: Selected by the Packers with the No. 28 overall selection in the first round. COLLEGE: A three-year letterman and a two-year starter, he appeared in 37 games during his three seasons (22 starts) and totaled 103 tackles (62 solo), 21½ sacks, six passes de-fensed, five forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries for the Trojans…Junior season (2011): Started all 12 games at DE and led the team with a career-high 9½ sacks…His sack total was tied for No. 14 nationally and led the Pacific-12…Finished the season with 54 tackles (31 solo), including a team-high 13 for a loss, three passes defensed, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery…Was one of six finalists for the Hendricks Award, which is given to the country’s top defensive end…Was named first-team All-Pac-12 and was a second-team All-America selection by CBSSports.com…Also earned all-conference honors from CBSSports.com, ESPN.com, CollegeFootballNews.com and Phil Steele’s Col-lege Football…Won USC’s 2011 Defensive Lineman of the

Year award…Registered five tackles, a sack and a forced fumble vs. Minnesota (Sept. 3)…Recorded a career-high 10 tackles, a sack and an additional tackle for loss vs. Arizona (Oct. 1)…Posted a sack, a fumble recovery and a forced fumble at California (Oct. 13)…Registered a career-high 2½ sacks vs. Washington (Nov. 12)…Recorded four tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble in USC’s 38-35 upset win of No. 4-ranked Oregon (Nov. 19)…Sophomore season (2010): Played in 12 games with nine starts at DE, missing the season opener at Hawai’i with a sprained ankle…Posted 25 tackles (15 solo), including 7½ for a loss, four sacks, three passes defensed, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery on the season…Registered two tackles and a sack at Washington State (Sept. 25)…Recorded two tackles, a sack and a forced fumble at Stanford (Oct. 9)…Posted two tackles and a sack vs. California (Oct. 16)…Registered a sack, a pass defensed and a forced fumble that he recovered, the first recovery of his career, and returned 8 yards to set up a USC touchdown vs. Notre Dame (Nov. 27)…Redshirt freshman season (2009): Appeared in all 13 contests with one start at DE as a redshirt freshman and led the team with eight sacks…Finished the season with 24 tackles (16 solo), including nine tackles for a loss…Was named a first-team Freshman All-American by the Football Writers Association of America, Sporting News, Phil Steele’s College Football and CollegeFootballNews.com…Earned Pac-10 All-Freshman Team recognition from ESPN.com and Sporting News…In his collegiate debut, registered four tackles and two sacks vs. San Jose State (Sept. 5).

MORE ABOUT THE FROZEN TUNDRA

• The Lambeau Field playing surface underwent an offseason makeover prior to the 2007 season that brought the latest technology to the hallowed ground and made future in-season re-sodding unnecessary.

• In a project that took several months to complete, DD GrassMaster, a natural grass surface reinforced with man-made fibers developed by Desso DLW Sports Systems, was installed on top of a completely new drainage and heating system. The new surface and underlying systems represent the latest developments in field management.

• The new grass surface wasn’t entirely new for the players, though. It was identical to the surface on the team’s Clarke Hinkle Field. That surface, installed prior to 2005 training camp, had garnered rave reviews from the players. The team again used the surface in 2009 for the new Nitschke Field.

• According to the Packers’ fields manager, Allen Johnson, the Packers had been following the evolution of the relatively new system for several years, going back to its development on European soccer fields.

• DD GrassMaster’s advantage mainly is attributed to the sand-based soil, which allows superior drainage and softer, more consistent footing over the previous clay-based field. Because a sand-based root zone has less stability, the system employs millions of strands of polyethylene and polypropylene materials eight inches below the surface with one inch exposed on the top. This gives the field firm footing and eliminates clumps of sod tearing from the surface. Even after a full season’s wear late in the year, the footing remains excellent due to the soil-strengthening strands.

• The Packers and Denver Broncos are the only two NFL teams to use the system in their respective stadiums. However, the surface has gained increasing popularity overseas and is used by some of Europe’s top soccer clubs, including Arsenal, Liverpool and

Manchester City. Most recently, the surface was installed at the Arena de Sao Paulo in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and was used for numerous matches during the 2014 World Cup.

• Due to the enhanced drainage capabilities, fans at Lambeau no longer notice a perceptible crown on the field. A slight slope exists, about a half-degree decline, to assist with water and snow removal when the field is covered with a tarp.

• Also included in the ’07 project was a new service path encircling the field. Cement was replaced with a rubberized surface, similar to the one adjacent to the Don Hutson Center on the side of Hinkle Field. The rubberized path still allows for equipment use, but is safer for players who run far out of bounds.

During the 1923 season, the Green Bay Press-Gazette published a major story announcing the Packers had signed Jack “Dollie” Gray, an end who’d received All-America honors at Princeton.

According to participation charts kept by George Calhoun, Gray started his only game played – a 24-3 loss to the Racine Legion at Bellevue Park.

Made suspicious by Gray’s performance, Curly Lambeau checked the player’s background, only to discover he was an imposter. Lambeau quickly gave the player – whoever he was – his walking papers.

However, because he did play in a game, the Packers still list him on their all-time roster.

earned his first trip to the Pro Bowl in 2011, becoming the first Packers defensive tackle since Bob Brown in 1972 to receive the honor.

➤ Started all 16 games for the third time in the last four sea-sons in 2013, posting 36 tackles (14 solo).

➤ Including playoffs, has now played in 70 of a possible 72 games over the last four seasons for the Packers (all starts). Is tied for second among NFL defensive linemen with his 70 games played (including playoffs) since 2010.

➤ Earned Pro Bowl alternate status for his performance in 2012 after starting all 14 games in which he appeared and posting 46 tackles (26 solo) and a pass defensed.

➤ Started all 16 games for the second consecutive year in 2011 (joining S Morgan Burnett as the only two Green Bay defensive players to do so in 2011), and registered 43 tackles (19 solo), three sacks, three passes defensed and a fumble recovery.

➤ Was named a Pro Bowl alternate in 2010 and was selected to USA Today’s All-Joe Team, which honors unheralded play-ers in the league, while also earning All-NFC honors from Pro Football Weekly.

➤ Led all NFL nose tackles with 6½ sacks in 2010, the most recorded by a NT since Minnesota’s Ken Clarke posted seven in 1990 (according to STATS LLC), and was the only Green Bay defensive lineman to open every game, posting a career-high 66 tackles (36 solo).

➤ Added 12 tackles, a sack, two passes defensed and an in-terception in the 2010 postseason, highlighted by an 18-yard INT return for a score at Chicago in the NFC Championship Game that put Green Bay up 21-7 in the eventual 21-14 victory.

➤ Played in 14 games with one start as a rookie in ’09 and was named to the Pro Football Weekly/PFWA All-Rookie team, becoming the first Green Bay defensive lineman to earn the recognition since DE Vonnie Holliday in 1998.

➤ Was part of a defensive-line rotation that year that helped the Packers lead the NFL in run defense for the first time in franchise history, allowing a team-record 83.3 yards per game.

➤ Rookie campaign got off to a slow start when he didn’t sign a contract until Aug. 14, which caused him to miss the first two weeks of practice. Sprained his ankle in the preseason finale at Tennessee (Sept. 3), which sidelined him for the first two regular-season games.

2013 SEASON: Started all 16 games for the third time in four seasons, finishing with 36 tackles (14 solo)…At San Francisco (Sept. 8): Contributed to a run defense that deliv-ered a strong debut performance against the 49ers.

Cleveland (Oct. 20): Started and saw action on 34 plays, posting four tackles (two solo), a QB hit and a pressure.

Took a handoff from QB Aaron Rodgers and surged forward for a 1-yard TD to put the Packers ahead 7-0, the first offensive TD of his career.

Used an upfield rush to walk Pro Bowl G Logan Mankins back before shedding him to sack QB Tom Brady for a 7-yard loss in the first quarter.

Brought Manning down for a 5-yard loss in the third quarter…At Atlanta (NFC Divisional, Jan. 15): Posted two tackles (one solo), a sack, a QB hit and a pressure, helping limit Pro Bowl RB Michael Turner to just 39 yards on 10 carries (3.9 avg.). Appeared on offense for the first time as part of “Elephant” goal-line formation that also featured an extra offensive lineman (G T.J. Lang). Lined up in the backfield next to FB Quinn Johnson and in front of Kuhn, clearing out the right side as he blocked LB Mike Peterson to open a hole for Kuhn to score on a 1-yard run. Early in the fourth quarter, wrapped up QB Matt Ryan, his former college teammate, for a 10-yard sack, his first career sack in the postseason…At Chicago (NFC Championship, Jan. 23): Made perhaps the game’s biggest play in the fourth quarter, intercepting QB Caleb Hanie and rumbling 18 yards for a TD to give Green Bay a 21-7 lead in eventual 21-14 win. The play came with less than seven min-utes remaining, dropped into coverage out of a dime-personnel grouping as CB Sam Shields blitzed from the outside. Stepped in front of a short pass intended for RB Matt Forté and sprinted to the end zone, beating Hanie across the goal line for the TD that proved to be the difference in the game. Became the first defensive lineman in franchise playoff history to post an INT for a score and the first NFL defensive lineman to do so since Jack-sonville’s Clyde Simmons (Dec. 28, 1996). Also posted three tackles (two solo), four QB hits and two QB pressures…Vs. Pittsburgh (Super Bowl XLV, Feb. 6): Played nearly twice as many snaps as any other defensive lineman, appearing on 60 plays. Credited with two assisted tackles, four pressures and a QB hit, as he created a consistent disruption in the middle of the pocket for QB Ben Roethlisberger. 2009: Played in 14 games with one start, seeing most of his time at both end spots and as a down lineman in nickel…Also appeared in team’s playoff contest…Named to the Pro Football Weekly/PFWA All-Rookie team…Saw increased time at NT in the final four games of the season with Ryan Pickett battling a hamstring injury…Registered 36 tackles (24 solo) and a sack on the season…Part of the top-ranked rushing defense in the NFL (a franchise-record 83.3 yards per game), the first time in

In what was his fourth year as the starter under center for the Packers in 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers turned in one of the finest seasons by any player at the position in the history of the National Football League. Rodgers was voted the Pro Bowl starter for the NFC and earned Most Valuable Player honors from The Associated Press following the season, winning the vote by a nearly unanimous 48-2 margin.

During the regular season, he completed 343 of 502 attempts for 4,643 yards and 45 touchdowns against just six intercep-tions, netting a cumulative passer rating of 122.5. Rodgers’ marks for yardage, touchdowns, completion percentage, yards per attempt and 300-yard games were all new franchise records. Even more impressive was that he accomplished all of that despite appearing in just 15 games (he was rested for the regular-season finale in Week 17).

A look at some of the superlatives from Rodgers’ fantastic season:

RODGERS’ 2011 A SEASON TO REMEMBER

• 122.5 QB rating set a new NFL record, as did his 13 games with a 100-plus passer rating.• Joined Tom Brady and Dan Marino as the only three QBs, at the time, to throw three-plus TD passes in a game 10 or more times in a season.*• Tied the NFL record shared by Brady and Peyton Manning by throwing at least two TD passes in 13 consecutive games.• Set an NFL record with 11 consecutive games with a 110-plus QB rating.• Became the only QB in NFL history to have more than one season with 500-plus pass attempts and seven or fewer INTs, and also became the first 4,000-yard passer in league annals to throw six or fewer INTs.• Experienced a torrid stretch over a three-game span in the middle of the sea-son when he became just the second QB in NFL history (Kurt Warner) to record three consecutive games with a 140-plus passer rating. • With his 408-yard outing in Week 4 vs. Denver, he became the first QB in NFL history to register 400 passing yards/four passing TDs/two rushing TDs in a game.

* Drew Brees and Manning threw three-plus TD passes in a game 11 times in 2012 and 2013, respectively.

San Francisco (Dec. 5): Earned NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors as he completed 21 of 30 passes for 298 yards and three TDs for a 135.1 passer rating. Didn’t throw an INT for the fifth straight game, the first Packers QB to do so since Starr in 1966. Had a pair of TD passes of 55-plus yards for the first time in his career, connecting with Jennings for a 57-yard score in the second quarter and with Driver on a 61-yard TD in the third quarter…At Detroit (Dec. 12): Threw for 46 yards on 7-of-11 passing before departing due to a concussion. With just over three minutes remaining in the first half, scrambled for an 18-yard gain to the Green Bay 43 but took hits from S Amari Spievey and LB Landon Johnson, with his head hitting the turf. Took three more snaps before being replaced by Flynn for the remainder of the game. Prior to his exit, saw his career-long streak of 181 attempts without an INT come to an end when a deep pass in the first quarter bounced out of Jennings’ arms and into Spievey’s. It was his first INT since his final throw of the first half vs. Minnesota in Week 7, a streak that put him at No. 2 in the team record books behind only Starr (294, 1964-65)…At New England (Dec. 19): Inactive due to the concussion, which snapped a streak of 45 consecutive starts that was the fourth-longest streak in the league among active QBs at that point…Vs. N.Y. Giants (Dec. 26): Returned to action and turned in one of the best outings of his career on his way to earning NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors. Threw for 404 yards, at the time a regular-season career high, on 25-of-37 passing while match-ing his career high at that point with four TD passes. His yard-

age total was the most by a Green Bay QB in the regular season since Dickey’s 418-yard game vs. Tampa Bay (Oct. 12, 1980), and it was the first 400-yard, four-TD, zero-INT performance in franchise annals. It also marked the 10th time in his ca-reer that he threw three-plus TDs and zero INTs in a game, the most in NFL history by a QB within three seasons of his first start (Warner, nine, 1999-2001). Led the Packers to 515 total yards, the most since the team posted 548 at Oakland (Dec. 22, 2003)…At Atlanta (NFC Divisional, Jan. 15): Had one of the finest playoff games by a QB in NFL playoff history, connecting on 31 of 36 passes for 366 yards and three TDs. His 136.8 passer rating was the highest in league postseason history among QBs with 35-plus attempts. The 31 completions and 86.1 completion percentage were franchise single-game postseason records, and the completion percentage ranks No. 1 in NFL history for QBs with 35-plus attempts. Became the first QB in NFL playoff history to throw for 350 yards, three TDs and zero INTs and rush for a TD in a game. Completed all 10 of his third-down passing attempts for 151 yards. Helped lead the Packers to a franchise postseason-record 48 points. Combined with the 45-point outing at Arizona in the 2009 Wild Card contest, the Packers became the first team in NFL his-tory to record 45 points in a game in consecutive postseasons. His three TD passes gave him 10 in his first three postseason starts, the most in NFL history as he surpassed Jeff George, Daryle Lamonica and Marino (nine each). Along with his 121.4 rating at Arizona in the ’09 playoffs and his 122.5 rating at Philadelphia the week before, became the first QB in NFL history to register a 120-plus rating in each of his first three postseason starts. Also became the first QB in NFL postseason history to throw for three-plus TDs in each of his first three playoff starts…Vs. Pittsburgh (Super Bowl XLV, Feb. 6): Closed out his torrid postseason by earning Super Bowl MVP honors with a masterful performance in the world cham-pionship game. Completed 24 of 39 passes for 304 yards and three TDs. Joined Montana, Young and Jake Delhomme as the only QBs to throw for 300 yards and three scores with no INTs in a Super Bowl. First TD pass came on a perfectly placed throw to Nelson for a 29-yard score. Threaded a pass into the hands of Jennings for a 21-yard TD in the second quarter with S Ryan Clark just missing the ball and S Troy Polamalu’s hard shot from behind failing to knock it free from the WR’s arms. Found Jennings once more in the back right corner of the end zone in the third quarter to extend the lead to 28-17. Perhaps his best throw of the game came on the Packers’ clock-killing drive late in the fourth quarter. On third-and-10 from the Green Bay 25, fired the ball to Jennings down the seam just beyond the outstretched arms of CB Ike Taylor as he hit the WR in stride for a 31-yard gain and a new set of downs. The drive burned 5:19 off the clock and set up a 23-yard Mason Crosby FG to extend the lead to 31-25, forcing Pittsburgh to drive for a TD instead of a game-tying FG.

2009: Selected to the Pro Bowl for the first time in his ca-reer...Started every game for the second straight season and completed 350 of 541 passes (64.7 percent) for 4,434 yards, 30 TDs and seven INTs for a 103.2 rating, which ranked fourth in the NFL…Ranked fourth in the league in passing yards, fourth in TD passes and first in INT percentage (1.29), the lat-ter mark second at the time in team history to Starr’s 1.20 in 1966 as Rodgers posted 12 games without an INT to break

PACKERS SPRING MINICAMP HISTORY Dan Devine coached collegiately for 16 years before Green Bay hired him in 1971. Shortly after his arrival, he implemented a college tradition: spring practice. That April, Devine took his new players to the University of Texas at Arlington and the Packers’ first minicamp, where he got his first look at No. 1 draft choice John Brockington. In 1977, the Packers’ revolutionary indoor facility allowed spring practice in Green Bay. However, the team migrated to Arizona in ’94, so the Don Hutson Center could be finished.

Starr’s franchise mark of 11 in 1964…Nearly broke Dickey’s single-season team record for passing yards set in 1984 (4,458) while joining Favre (1998-99) as the only QBs in team history to post back-to-back 4,000-yard seasons and joining Dickey and Favre as the only Green Bay QBs to hit 30 TDs in one season…Had a 133.5 rating on third down, which led the league and was the highest since Warner (137.3) in 1999; third-down production included an NFL-best 14 TDs, no INTs and a league-high 1,710 yards, the most yards by an NFL QB since the stat began to be kept in 1991...Tied for NFL lead (with Donovan McNabb and Romo) with 17 completions of 40-plus yards...Was tied for second in the league (with Romo and Brees) with 39 completions of 25-plus yards, trailing only Eli Manning’s 42...Rushed for 316 yards and five TDs on 58 car-ries (5.4 avg.), the second-most yards by any QB in 2009 (Da-vid Garrard, 323) and the most runs of 10-plus yards with 14...His five rushing TDs were the most since Majkowski posted the same number in ’89…Became the first QB in NFL history to throw 30 or more TDs and seven or fewer INTs and rush for five TDs in the same season…Earned NFC Offensive Player of the Month honors for October…At Minnesota (Oct. 5): Threw for a season-high 384 yards on 26-of-37 passing for a 110.6 rating. Was intercepted for the first time on the season when CB Antoine Winfield picked off his pass intended for Jen-nings on the right sideline at the Minnesota 23 early in the second quarter; the INT snapped a then-career-best streak of 159 passing attempts without one, then the third longest in team history behind Starr (294 in 1964-65) and Favre (163 in 2001-02)…Vs. Detroit (Oct. 18): Completed 29 of 37 passes for 358 yards, two TDs and one INT for a 113.7 rating, giving him two career firsts – back-to-back games with 350-plus yards and three straight contests with a 110.0 rating or better. His 78.3 completion percentage was the second-best single-game performance in team history at the time (min. 35 attempts), trailing only Favre’s 79.5 percent on 31-of-39 pass-ing at Minnesota on Nov. 21, 1998…At Cleveland (Oct. 25): Completed 15 of 20 passes for 246 yards, three TDs and no INTs for a 155.4 passer rating, the best single-game rat-ing in franchise history (min. 20 attempts). His fourth straight game with a 110.0-plus passer rating made him only the sec-ond QB in team history to accomplish the feat in the same season (Starr, Sept. 18-Oct. 9, 1966)…Vs. San Francisco (Nov. 22): Posted 344 yards passing and a season-high 32 completions on 44 attempts with two TDs and no INTs for a 108.0 rating. Threw for 274 yards in the first half alone, which at the time was his career-high yardage mark for any half in the regular season…At Pittsburgh (Dec. 20): Threw for 383 yards and three TDs with no INTs on 26-of-48 passing for

a 101.3 rating. The 48 attempts without an INT were the most in a single game in team history. On third down, was 8 of 13 for 217 yards and three TDs for a 145.0 rating...At Arizona (NFC Wild Card, Jan. 10): Posted team playoff-record 423 yards and four TDs on 28-of-42 passing with one INT for a 121.4 rating. The four TD passes matched a franchise playoff mark held by Starr (at Dallas, Jan. 1, 1967) and Dickey (vs. St. Louis, Jan. 8, 1983). The yardage total was tied for No. 5 in NFL playoff history at the time, and his 319 yards passing after halftime set an NFL playoff record, eclipsing the previous mark of 274 yards set by Marino (at Buffalo, Dec. 30, 1995). Became one of only six QBs in the Super Bowl era to throw for 400 yards/four TDs in a postseason game, and one of only two signal callers to post 400 yards/four TDs and a rushing TD in a playoff game (Peyton Manning, vs. Denver, Jan. 9, 2005). Completed six passes of 25-plus yards as he helped team come back from 21-point deficit in the second half to tie the game, with the longest score coming on a 30-yarder to Jones on fourth-and-5 early in the fourth quarter.

2008: Took over as the starter after waiting patiently for three years for his opportunity behind Favre…Became the first QB other than Favre to start a Packers game since Ma-jkowski (Sept. 20, 1992), starting all 16 games and ranking third in the NFC and sixth in the NFL with a 93.8 passer rat-ing…Completed 341 of 536 passes (63.6 percent) for 4,038 yards, 28 TDs and 13 INTs…Under center for 1,039 of 1,049 (99.1 percent) offensive plays…Ranked fourth in the league in both TD passes and passing yards…Became just the fourth QB in team history to surpass 4,000 yards in one season (Fa-vre, Dickey, Majkowski) and only the second in NFL history to throw for 4,000 yards in the first season that he started a game (Warner, St. Louis, 1999)…Ranked No. 3 in the NFL with a 105.8 passer rating on third down, including 14 TDs, which trailed only Rivers’ 15…Completed 16 passes of 40-plus yards, tied for first in the NFL with Brees…Tied for fifth in the league with 48 completions of 20-plus yards...Third on the team with 207 rushing yards on 56 carries (3.7 avg.), and tied for the team lead with four rushing TDs…Vs. Minnesota (Sept. 8): Started his first NFL game and completed 18 of 22 passes for 178 yards and a TD with no INTs. His 81.8 comple-tion percentage ranks as the second-best mark in league his-tory by a QB in his first start (min. 20 attempts), behind only former Jacksonville QB Rob Johnson’s 83.3 percentage (20 of 24) in 1997.

passes for 328 yards…At Tampa Bay (Sept. 28): Sprained his right shoulder in third quarter on a 7-yard scramble as he dove to extend the ball for a first down. On next series, hit Jennings for a 48-yard TD pass, but then sat out the follow-ing series with the injury. Returned for one more series late in the fourth quarter before exiting the game for good. Finished the afternoon 14 of 27 for 165 yards and two TDs, but had a string of 157 consecutive passes without an INT snapped, the fifth-longest streak in team history…Vs. Atlanta (Oct. 5): Started despite being limited all week in practice as he recov-ered from a sprained right shoulder. Recorded the second 300-yard passing game of his pro career as he connected on 25 of 37 passes for 313 yards and three TDs…Vs. Detroit (Dec. 28): Completed 21 of 31 passes for 308 yards and three TDs for a season-high 132.2 passer rating, matching his season best with the three TD passes. With Lions having just scored a TD to narrow Green Bay’s lead to 24-21, connected on season-long pass when he found Driver deep down the right sideline midway through the fourth quarter for a 71-yard score. The pass also put him over the 4,000-yard mark for the season.

2007: Serving as Favre’s backup for the third straight sea-son, he appeared in two regular-season games and completed 20 of 28 passes (71.4 percent) for 218 yards with one TD and no INTs for a 106.0 rating, plus seven rushes for 29 yards…Put together his best preseason as a pro, completing 37 of 59 passes (62.7 percent) with three TDs in four appearances…Vs. Minnesota (Nov. 11): Saw his first action of the regular season, entering with 3:56 remaining and completing both of his passes for 17 yards, including a 15-yarder to Jones on his first throw…At Dallas (Nov. 29): Was inserted into the game in the second quarter after Favre suffered elbow and shoulder injuries. Completed 18 of 26 passes for 201 yards and one TD for a 104.8 passer rating, plus had five rushes for 30 yards. On the Packers’ final drive of the first half, found Jennings for a 43-yard catch-and-run and connected with him again on an 11-yard TD (Rodgers’ first TD pass as a pro). In the third quarter, led a 12-play, 69-yard drive that finished with a 1-yard Ryan Grant TD plunge; on the series, completed all six passes for 61 yards, including throws of 22 and 17 yards. In the fourth, led the team’s final scoring drive that culminated in a 52-yard Crosby FG. Injured a hamstring the following week in practice and was inactive for the final four regular-season games before recovering to serve as Favre’s backup in the postseason…Vs. Seattle (NFC Divisional, Jan. 12): Played the final series of playoff game, but did not attempt a pass.

2006: Served as the No. 2 QB for the team’s first 10 games, playing in two contests…Was on injured reserve (foot) for the final six games…In the preseason, served as the No. 2 QB for all four games…Completed 22 of 38 passes for 323 yards and three TDs, including an 85-yard pass to Jennings, vs. Atlanta (Aug. 19)…Before sustaining a season-ending broken foot in Week 11, had taken 36 regular-season offensive snaps and completed 6 of 15 passes (40.0 percent) for 46 yards, with no TDs or INTs, for a 48.2 rating…At Philadelphia (Oct. 2): Made his season debut in place of an injured Favre (neck/head); nearly engineered a TD drive on the last series of the game, completing 2 of 3 passes for 14 yards, but the Packers were held out of the end zone on a goal-line stand…Vs. New England (Nov. 19): Saw the most extensive action of his ca-reer to date when he was inserted into the lineup for an injured Favre (elbow), and played the last two offensive snaps of the first half and the entire second half. Completed 4 of 12 passes and had a 6-yard scramble on a third-and-6. Played the second half with a foot injury he sustained toward the start of the third quarter; post-game tests revealed a fracture that caused him to miss the rest of the season. Was placed on injured reserve on Nov. 21.

2005: Saw action in three games as a rookie; he was ac-tive but did not play in the 13 other contests…Completed 9 of 16 attempts (56.3 percent) for 65 yards, with one INT, and a 39.8 passer rating…Also credited with two rushes for 7 yards, including a kneel-down on the season’s final snap after Favre was given a curtain call…Got an extended look in the preseason opener vs. San Diego (Aug. 11), replacing Favre; endured a malfunctioning helmet radio, four offensive penal-ties and two sacks, and as a result the coaching staff didn’t get a great look at him in his rainy preseason debut…Struggled as the No. 2 QB the following week at Buffalo (Aug. 20), going 4 for 9 for 21 yards, with one sack and an INT; his two best plays were carries (22, 9 yards)…Ended the preseason on a good note, though, at Tennessee (Sept. 1); orchestrated an impor-tant scoring drive, converting two third downs, before hitting TE Ben Steele on a 12-yard TD…Vs.

Entered on the Packers’ ini-tial series of the fourth quarter and completed his lone attempt, his first career pass, to FB Vonta Leach for no gain…At Balti-more (Dec. 19): Got his most extensive playing time in 48-3 Monday night loss. Came off the bench toward the end of the third quarter and finished the contest, going 8 for 15 with one INT, plus one carry for 8 yards…Vs. Seattle (Jan. 1): Took the game’s final kneel-down, his only play, after replacing Fa-vre, who had started the drive…2005 Draft: Selected by the Packers in the first round with the No. 24 overall pick. Was the second QB taken after Alex Smith (49ers) at No. 1, the eighth QB drafted by the Packers in the first round and the first since Rich Campbell, also from Cal, in 1981. Also joined Campbell as the only Cal players drafted by Green Bay in the first round. Passed on his final year of eligibility and was considered one of the top QB prospects in the country with numerous football observers rating him as the No. 1 pick in the draft.

COLLEGE: A two-year starter and letterman at Califor-nia, he completed 424 of 665 passes (63.8 percent) for 5,469 yards, with 43 TDs and 13 INTs while playing in 25 games with 22 starts…His 150.3 career passer rating and 1.95 INT per-centage are both tops in school history…Threw for 250-plus yards 10 times and had 160 rushes for 336 yards (2.1 avg.) and eight TDs…With scant Division I interest after two highly successful prep seasons, began his college career at Butte College, near Chico, Calif. …It was there that Cal coach Jeff Tedford noticed Rodgers while watching video of a teammate, TE Garrett Cross (who later, too, became a Cal Golden Bear, and then a Green Bay Packer)…After watching him practice and feeling confident in his ability to thrive in Berkeley, Tedford offered Rodgers a scholarship and launched the beginning of two immensely successful seasons…Majored in American studies…Junior season (2004): Started all 12 games for the Bears, including the Holiday Bowl vs. Texas Tech (Dec. 30)…Finished with 209 completions in 316 attempts (66.1 percent) for 2,566 yards and 24 TDs, with eight INTs…Helped the team reach its highest national ranking (No. 4) since 1952, produce its best regular-season record (10-1) in 54 years and record the most conference wins (seven) in 55 years…Led an offense that ranked first in the conference in passing efficiency (167.39, fourth nationally), total offense (494.7 ypg, fifth), scoring offense (37.3 ppg, sixth) and rushing offense (260 ypg, fifth)…Offense was second-highest scoring in school history…Named first-team All-Pacific-10, and received hon-orable mention All-America honors from AP, College & Pro Football Newsweekly and SportsIllustrated.com…Also was a second-team Pac-10 All-Academic choice…Was one of 15 players to receive letters from the Heisman Trophy Committee in November, and was named to the watch lists for the Walter Camp Foundation Player of the Year Award, the Maxwell Award and the Davey O’Brien Award…Served as team co-captain and was chosen as Cal’s co-Offensive MVP…Finished second in the conference in passing efficiency (154.4), behind Southern California’s Matt Leinart; the efficiency mark ranked eighth among all NCAA passers in 2004 and was the second-best

AT A GLANCE…• Has established himself as one of the Packers’ top cover men

and was cemented as part of the team’s core, having received a long-term contract extension in March 2014.

• Had his finest statistical season in 2013, setting new career highs for starts (14), tackles (64), solo tackles (57) and passes defensed (a team-high 25), and tied his previous career best with four INTs.

• Entered the NFL as a non-drafted free agent and earned the nickel cornerback job in 2010 as a rookie despite playing de-fense for just one season in college. Played primarily wide re-ceiver and special teams his first three seasons at Miami.

• Was one of the club’s top performers during the 2012 postsea-son, recording interceptions in both the 2012 NFC Wild Card and Divisional games (including one he returned for a TD), and his career total of four INTs is now tied for the most in franchise playoff history.

• In 2010, matched his regular-season total with two intercep-tions in the NFC Championship at Chicago, becoming just the fifth player in franchise history to record two interceptions in a playoff game.

• Was honored with Miami’s Most Improved Player award as a senior and was voted the team’s Special Teams Player of the Year as a junior after bursting on the scene as a collegian with the most pass receptions by a Hurricane freshman since WR Reggie Wayne nine years prior.

Green and was part of a concerted effort that limited him to just four catches for 46 yards (11.5 avg.) during the game. Contributed four tackles (three solo) and made his first INT of the season. Made the pick at a critical time with the Packers trailing 14-0 late in the first quarter. Played Green perfectly on a quick-out to the sideline, before stepping in front of QB Andy Dalton’s throw to make the INT. The turnover led to a K Mason Crosby FG and the first three of the Packers’ 30 unanswered points…At Dallas (Dec. 15): Delivered an impactful performance, finishing with five tackles (all solo), three passes defensed and a game-turning INT that set up the Packers’ go-ahead TD drive with less than three minutes to play in the fourth quar-ter. On the INT, was matched with WR Miles Austin in man-coverage with no safety behind him, trailing Austin on a slant pattern before closing quickly to snatch a throw from QB Tony Romo that was too far to the inside. The INT set the offense up at midfield with 2:46 remaining and RB Eddie Lacy capped the drive seven plays later with a 1-yard TD plunge to give Green Bay its first lead, 37-36…At Chicago (Dec. 29): Saw action on all 50 defensive snaps and posted three tackles (one solo) and his career-high-tying fourth INT that sealed the division title in the final moments of the fourth quarter. On the INT, leapt to pick off a desperation Hail Mary pass by QB Jay Cutler into the end zone with the Bears trailing 33-28 and

PRO HIGHLIGHTS: ➤ Emerged as the team’s top coverage player in 2013,

matching wits with the opponent’s best receiver on a weekly basis throughout the season.

➤ Had his finest statistical season in 2013, setting new ca-reer highs for starts (14), tackles (64), solo tackles (57) and passes defensed (a team-high 25), and tied his previous ca-reer best with four INTs.

➤ Worked his way into the starting lineup after the beginning of the regular season in 2012, taking over as the No. 2 CB in the team’s base defense following veteran Charles Woodson’s transition to safety.

➤ Started Weeks 2-6 at RCB before suffering a shin/ankle injury at Houston (Oct. 14) that sidelined him for the next six games. For the season, appeared in 10 games with eight starts and registered then-career highs with 38 tackles (27 solo) and 16 passes defensed, also ranking second on the club with three interceptions, in addition to his first career sack.

➤ Also opened both of the team’s 2012 postseason contests and posted 12 tackles (all solo), two INTs (including one he returned for a TD), and five passes defensed.

➤ Has now made four INTs in eight career playoff games, a total that ties him with CB Herb Adderley, DB Joe Laws, CB Craig Newsome, S Eugene Robinson and CB Tramon Williams for the most in franchise postseason history.

➤ Appeared in 15 games with seven starts in 2011, collect-ing 36 tackles (32 solo), a career-high four INTs, 14 passes defensed and a forced fumble.

➤ A true speedster who made a major impact as a non-draft-ed rookie in 2010, earning the nickel CB job despite playing the position only one year in college. Finished his first season with 27 tackles (22 solo), two INTs and nine passes defensed.

➤ With the exception of two missed games due to injury, held the nickel job throughout the regular season and playoffs in 2010, recording two interceptions in the regular season and two more in the NFC Championship at Chicago, the final one sealing the conference title in the game’s final minute and sending the Packers to the Super Bowl.

➤ Also contributed as a return man and punt-team gunner, utilizing the speed that made him a productive receiver and special teamer his first three seasons at Miami.

➤ Made the transition to cornerback as a senior and pro-gressed rapidly as a rookie under the tutelage of position coach Joe Whitt Jr., who considered him a potential high draft pick based on raw talent alone.

2013 SEASON: Had his finest statistical season, cement-ing his place as a core player of the team’s secondary…Set new career highs for starts (14), tackles (64), solo tackles (57) and passes defensed (25), and tied his previous career best with four INTs…The passes defensed and INT totals both led the team…Missed Weeks 11 and 12 with a hamstring in-jury that was suffered in practice, but returned to start each of the final five contests and the team’s Wild Card playoff game, though he exited that game following the second defensive

10 seconds remaining in the game, cementing the win and a playoff berth for the Packers.

San Francisco (NFC Wild Card, Jan. 5): Started the game, but suffered a knee injury in a collision with a teammate at the end of the 49ers’ second offensive play and did not return.

2012: Played in 10 games with eight starts...Emerged from a training-camp competition that featured a host of players bat-tling for the No. 2 CB position opposite Tramon Williams fol-lowing Woodson’s move to safety…Made a push late in camp and worked his way into the starting lineup for the team’s Week 2 contest vs. Chicago…Opened the ensuing five games at RCB before suffering a shin/ankle injury at Houston in Week 6 that cost him the next six games…Returned for the Week 14 contest vs. Detroit and then started the final three games of the regular season and both playoff contests…For the sea-son, achieved then-career highs with 38 tackles (27 solo) and 16 passes defensed, while also adding three INTs and his first career sack…Also continued to contribute on special teams, where he made four tackles on the coverage units…Played especially well down the stretch following his return from the injury, particularly in the playoffs where he picked off passes in each game, including one he returned for a TD at San Fran-cisco in the divisional round…Posted 12 tackles (all solo), five passes defensed and the two INTs in the postseason…Vs. Chicago (Sept. 13): Reclaimed starting duties at CB on the strength of his outing in the season opener. Opened the game at RCB and played a key role in helping to limit Chicago to just 74 net passing yards…At Indianapolis (Oct. 5): Started at RCB and finished with a season-high seven tackles (five solo) and two passes defensed...At Houston (Oct. 14): Had a solid day in coverage, tallying four tackles (three solo) and his first INT of the season. The INT came on Hous-ton’s first drive of the fourth quarter when he dove to inter-cept a low throw from QB Matt Schaub. Suffered an injury on Houston’s next play from scrimmage when in pursuit of a run play, he was inadvertently kicked in the lower leg by a team-mate and did not return...Vs. Detroit (Dec. 2): Returned to action following a seven-week hiatus due to the ankle in-jury.

Minnesota (NFC Wild Card, Jan. 5): Started his third career postseason game, appearing on 62 plays and tying for the team lead with seven tackles (all solo), an INT and two passes defensed. Picked off a pass in the third quarter when he ran with WR Devin Aromashodu deep down the sideline, leaping to intercept QB Joe Webb’s errant throw…At San Francisco (NFC Divisional, Jan. 12): Turned in another excellent individual performance in spite of the team’s losing effort. Posted five tackles (all solo), three passes defensed and an INT that he returned for his first career TD. Started the game with a bang on the 49ers’ open-ing drive, trailing TE Vernon Davis as QB Colin Kaepernick first attempted to scramble before making an off-balance throw. Shields jumped in front of Davis to intercept it at the Green Bay 48-yard line and raced up the sideline, evading a tackle by Kaepernick and going the rest of the way untouched for

the score to give Green Bay an early 7-0 lead. The INT was the fourth of his career in the postseason, which is tied with Ad-derley, Laws, Newsome, Robinson and Williams for the most in franchise playoff history. 2011: Returned to his role as the team’s nickel CB and ap-peared in a career-high 15 contests with seven starts…Was inactive in Week 7 at Minnesota due to a concussion suffered on an INT return in the second half of the previous week’s game vs. St. Louis (Oct. 16)…Posted 36 tackles (32 solo), a career-high four interceptions, 14 passes defensed and his first career forced fumble…Chipped in six tackles on spe-cial teams…Vs.

Recorded the forced fumble when he stripped WR Devery Henderson fol-lowing a 9-yard gain in the third quarter and the ball rolled out of bounds. Made one of the more unsung plays of the game on special teams, serving as the “safety” on the kickoff coverage team and showing his impressive speed by coming from the opposite side of the field to track down RB Darren Sproles and run him out of bounds following a 57-yard return in the third quarter, likely saving a TD...Vs. Denver (Oct. 2): Had an INT early in the fourth quarter. On the INT, was in single coverage on WR Brandon Lloyd. Circled through the end zone and used his speed to bring it out and advance it for a career-long 60-yard return to the Denver 46-yard line…Vs. St. Louis (Oct. 16): Posted six tackles (five solo) and also matched his rookie season total by recording his second INT, which came when he picked off an underthrown ball by QB Sam Bradford in the end zone. Attempted to return the ball out of the end zone, running horizontally and was sideswiped by WR Brandon Gibson, who delivered a punishing hit that caused him to suffer a concussion and be removed from the game…At Minnesota (Oct. 23): Missed the practice week while dealing with lingering effects of the concussion, and was inactive on gameday for the first time since Week 5 of the 2010 regular season…Vs. Detroit (Jan. 1): Started as the No. 2 CB with Woodson (coaches’ decision – rest) on the inactive list for the regular-season finale. Finished with five tackles (four solo), a pass defensed and a game-clinching INT in the waning moments of the fourth quarter to seal the 45-41 win. On the play, stepped in front of a QB Matthew Stafford throw intended for WR Nate Burleson at the Packers’ 20-yard line, returning the INT 2 yards. The INT was the defense’s 31st of the season, matching the highest total by the club since 1962.

return among six attempts for 128 yards total (21.3 avg.)…At Philadelphia (NFC Wild Card, Jan. 9): Started as the Packers opened in nickel and recorded three tackles (all solo) and two passes defensed, one a superb play on a deep ball to WR Jeremy Maclin that he knocked away just as the ball hit the receiver’s hands…At Chicago (NFC Cham-pionship, Jan. 23): Turned in his biggest performance of the year with four tackles (all solo), a sack, a forced fumble and two INTs. Used as a surprise blitzer, sacked Cutler for an 8-yard loss late in the first half, forcing a fumble that Bears RB Matt Forté recovered. Later, in the fourth quarter, came on a blitz from QB Caleb Hanie’s blind side, forcing a bad throw that was intercepted and returned for a TD by NT B.J. Raji. His two INTs came at nearly the same spot on the field, the first a leap-ing pick on Cutler’s deep ball to WR Johnny Knox just before halftime, keeping the Bears scoreless at the time. The second came with Hanie facing fourth-and-5 from the Green Bay 29, as Shields undercut Knox for the game-clinching INT with 37 seconds left. Became just the fifth player in franchise history

to record two INTs in a playoff game, and became the first NFL rookie (since 1982, when sacks became official) to record two INTs and a sack in a postseason contest…Vs. Pittsburgh (Super Bowl XLV, Feb. 6): Had two tackles (one solo), but sustained a shoulder injury during the second quarter and was used sparingly the rest of the way…2010 Draft: Signed by Green Bay as a non-drafted free agent on April 30.

The Green Bay Packers once had official cheerleaders, but after the 1988 season the decision was made not to reinstate them. While some Packers fans supported the official cheerleaders, many were opposed or indifferent, at best.

Helping the Packers make the decision to discontinue the program was a television news poll in which fans were generally split over whether they wanted the program to continue.

Bob Harlan, then the Packers’ executive vice president of administration, was quoted in an official release Feb. 7, 1989, say-ing: “In general terms, the poll disclosed there were as many fans who expressed opposition to the return of the cheerleaders as there were those in favor of restoring them. On that basis, we felt the appropriate decision at this time would be to continue without them.”

At this time, there are no plans to return to official cheerleaders. For several years, the team has used cheering squads from two local schools, St. Norbert College in De Pere, Wis., and the

University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Compared to other stadiums, though, they are not as much a part of the gameday experi-ence at Lambeau Field.

MODERN INSTANT REPLAY “CHALLENGE” SYSTEM, BY THE NUMBERS

After being fi rst introduced in 1999 as a Referee Replay Review to aid offi ciating, the instant replay system was extended on a one-year basis in 2000 before being approved for the next three years through 2003. It was later extended on a fi ve-year basis in March 2004, and then fi nally installed permanently in March 2007. Plays can either be reviewed by an on-site NFL replay offi cial or on behalf of a coach’s challenge. The following is a look at the results of instant replay over the past 15 regular seasons:

PACKERS IN THE COLLEGE ALL-STAR GAME, VS. NFL ALL-STARS

• From 1934-73 and 1975-76, the NFL participated in the annual Chicago College All-Star Game. The charitable contest, played during the preseason in either July or August, pitted the defending NFL champion against a group of standout collegiate players. An NFL players’ strike canceled the ’74 matchup.

• Soldier Field, even when the Bears were playing at Wrigley Field, served as the event’s stage for all but two years. Dyche Stadium in Evanston, Ill., hosted the game in 1943 and ’44.

• Nearly every prominent Packers player, whether as a collegian, as a pro, or both, played in the game. The Packers actually lost their first contest, in 1937, when Slingin’ Sammy Baugh and the collegians shut out Green Bay, 6-0. Legend suggests the Packers chalked up the embarrassing loss to shiny new uniforms, ordered by Curly Lambeau, which didn’t “breathe” in the August humidity.

The Packers were awarded two compensatory draft selections from the league in 2014, a third-round choice and a fifth-round choice. Since the first compensatories were awarded in 1994, only Baltimore (41) has received more than the Packers (33).

Under terms of the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement, a team losing more or better compensatory free agents than it acquires in a year is eligible to receive compensatory draft picks.

The number of picks a team receives equals the net loss of compensatory free agents up to a maximum of four. The 32 compensatory choices announced every March supplement the original choices in the seven rounds of the NFL Draft.

Compensatory free agents are determined by a formula based on salary, playing time and postseason honors. The formula was developed by the NFL Management Council. Not every free agent lost or signed by a club is covered by this formula.

Teams are no longer allowed to trade compensatories, although they were during the early years of the system. Because of that clause, the Packers acquired two compensatory choices in 1994 from San Francisco. In other words, Green Bay has actually drafted 35 compensatory players, but the league only has awarded the team 33.

1NFC Wild Card Playoff

Vince Lombardi was convinced that defenses had become so sophisticated that it was time for the offense to go back to the basics – to avoid frills and to carry out fundamentals well. These principles were borne out in his Green Bay sweep (top), with either Paul Hornung (5) or Jim Taylor (31) carrying the ball, fol-lowing pulling guards Fuzzy Thurston (63) and Jerry Kramer (64) in a devastating end run.

The weak-side slant (lower left) and the companion play it set up (lower right) became the heart of the Packers’ offense after defenses found ways to stop the sweep. Taylor “ran to daylight” wherever he found it.

PRO HIGHLIGHTS: ➤ Former non-drafted free agent and practice-squad player

who has gone on to appear in 111 regular-season games for the Packers since 2007.

➤ Started all 16 games for the second consecutive season in 2013, extending his streak to 50 straight starts, dating back to Week 3 of the 2011 season.

➤ Recaptured his difference-making form in the second half of 2013, finishing the season with new career highs in tackles (91), solo tackles (68) and sacks (2½), in addition to three INTs and 14 passes defensed, and a career-high-tying two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.

➤ Started all 16 games for the second time in his career in 2012, tallying 61 tackles (51 solo), two INTs and a career-high-tying 24 passes defensed.

➤ Suffered a shoulder injury in the 2011 season opener, but managed to still start 15 games and post career highs for tack-les (65) and passes defensed (24). Also added four intercep-tions, including the first TD return of his career in Week 9 at San Diego.

➤ Missed the first game of his career in Week 2 of 2011 at Carolina, seeing a streak of 72 consecutive games played (in-cluding playoffs) come to an end when he was rendered inac-tive due to a shoulder injury.

➤ Enjoyed the finest season of his career in 2010, his first as a full-time starter in Green Bay’s base defense, as he opened all 16 contests at right cornerback. Recorded then-career highs in tackles (63) and passes defensed (23) and a career-best six INTs as he led the team in interceptions and passes defensed.

➤ Named a first alternate for the Pro Bowl in 2010, he was selected to the all-star game as an injury replacement for Eagles CB Asante Samuel, but did not play in the game since the Packers were preparing for Super Bowl XLV.

➤ Tied the franchise single-postseason record with three more interceptions in the 2010 playoffs, including one for a touchdown, and his nine combined interceptions on the sea-son ranked No. 1 in the NFL.

➤ Became one of just three players whose career began since 1970 to post a 90-yard punt return and interception and kickoff returns of 65 yards in a career, joining Adam Jones and Lemar Parrish.

➤ Moved into the starting lineup in Week 12 of ’09 when Al Harris went down with a season-ending knee injury, and went on to lead the team with 22 passes defensed.

➤ Got his first extensive starting experience in 2008, open-ing nine games in place of both Harris (spleen injury) and CB Charles Woodson (temporary move to safety).

➤ Along with teammates Woodson and Nick Collins that sea-son, was part of the first Packers trio to each post five or more interceptions in a season since 1996 (S Eugene Robinson, S LeRoy Butler, CB Doug Evans).

➤ Was the only non-drafted free agent in the NFL to record four or more interceptions each season from 2008-11, and his 19 interceptions in the regular season tied for No. 4 in the NFL during that span.

➤ Became the surprise of camp in 2007, landing a spot on the 53-man roster with a strong preseason and by season’s end had established himself as the team’s No. 3 cornerback and top kick returner. That year, he got his first NFL interception and scored his first pro touchdown, returning a pooch punt out of a field-goal formation 94 yards for a score vs. Carolina (Nov. 18).

➤ Released by Houston as a non-drafted rookie following training camp in 2006, he joined the Packers’ practice squad for the final five weeks of that season.

➤ In 111 career games, he has started 83 contests and posted 386 tackles (309 solo), 25 interceptions, 125 passes defensed, 4½ sacks, five forced fumbles and six fumble recoveries.

2013 SEASON: Started all 16 games for the second consecutive season and had arguably his finest season since a breakout 2010 campaign, particularly down the stretch, where he appeared to return to the level that made him a top cover player for the Packers…Posted new career highs for tackles (91), solo tackles (68) and sacks (2½), while also adding three INTs and 14 passes defensed, and tying his previous career highs with two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries…His tackle total ranked fourth on the club…Also posted an INT and three passes defensed in the team’s playoff contest…At Cin-cinnati (Sept. 22): Appeared on all 56 defensive plays and finished with three tackles (all solo, one for a loss) and a sack. Made the third sack of his career in the third quarter when he blitzed from the slot, crashing between RT and RG to drop QB Andy Dalton for an 8-yard loss…Vs. Cleveland (Oct. 20): Started and appeared on all 70 defensive plays, posting four tackles (three solo), including his career-high second sack of the season. Sack came in the third quarter when he blitzed and dropped QB Brandon Weeden for a 4-yard loss…Vs. Phila-

delphia (Nov. 9): Had a productive statistical game, finishing with seven tackles (six solo), a half-sack and both a forced and recovered fumble. Recorded the half-sack, forced and recovered fumble on the same play in the fourth quarter when he blitzed from the slot and teamed with DT Mike Daniels to take down QB Nick Foles. Stripped Foles on his way to the ground and collected the ball at the Philadelphia 13-yard line…At N.Y. Gi-ants (Nov. 17): Had one of his most complete performances, posting eight tackles (all solo, two for a loss) and his first INT of the season. The interception came when QB Eli Man-ning threw an errant pass in the second quarter and he dove to snare the ball and regained his footing to return the pick 10 yards…At Dallas (Dec. 15): Came through with one of his finest performances when the team needed it most, finishing with a team-high nine tackles (all solo), two passes defensed and a memorable game-sealing INT with 1:24 remaining in the fourth quarter. Made the clinching INT with Dallas embarking on a comeback drive of its own later in the frame, abandoning his coverage of WR Terrance Williams along the sideline to jump a short out-route to WR Cole Beasley. QB Tony Romo threw the ball to the outside, where Williams dove and acrobatically held the ball up from hitting the turf. The play was subject to an of-ficial review, which showed he made the catch, and the Packers ran out the remaining clock to finish off what was tied for the largest comeback in franchise history…Vs. San Francisco (NFC Wild Card, Jan. 5): Delivered an impactful postsea-son performance, appearing on all 64 plays and finishing with two solo tackles, an INT and three passes defensed. Made the momentum-turning INT in Green Bay territory early in the sec-ond quarter with San Francisco approaching the red-zone and already holding a 6-0 advantage. On the play, abandoned a deep coverage on WR Anquan Boldin to pick up TE Vernon Davis near the sideline. QB Colin Kaepernick floated the ball and Williams went up over Davis’ shoulder to make the play, then embarking on a 17-yard return that ended with a punishing charge into Kaepernick at the Green Bay 30-yard line. The Packers would march 70 yards in 14 plays to convert the turnover into a TD and take their first lead, 7-6. Marked the fourth postseason INT of his career, tying him with five other players for the most in franchise history.

2012: A constant in the defensive backfield, he was the lone CB to start every game in 2012, almost always drawing the most difficult coverage assignment…Finished the season with 61 tackles (51 solo), two INTs and a career-high-tying 24 passes defensed (No. 2 on the team)...Helped contribute to a pass de-fense that made an 81-yards per game improvement from 2011 (218.3 ypg.) and climbed to No. 11 in the league rankings by season’s end…The defense also finished with the NFL’s fourth-lowest opponent passer rating (76.8)…Vs. Chicago (Sept. 13): Delivered an excellent performance against the rival Bears, tallying four tackles (all solo), two INTs and two passes de-fensed. Found himself matched against standout WR Brandon Marshall for much of the game and was part of an effort that helped limit him to just two catches for 24 yards (12.0 avg.). Marked the second regular-season multi-INT game of his career (also Week 11 of 2011 vs. Tampa Bay). First INT came when he undercut a crossing route intended for WR Earl Bennett. Sec-ond INT came in the fourth quarter when he leapt to tip a deep pass to himself before scampering 38 yards down the sideline on the return. The offense wasted little time taking advantage, as QB Aaron Rodgers hit WR Donald Driver for a 26-yard TD on the ensuing play to put the game out of reach at 23-3…At Indianapolis (Oct. 5): Appeared on all 96 defensive plays, posting six tackles (all solo, one for a loss) and was credited with a career-high five passes defensed. Passes defensed were the most by a Packer since Woodson was credited with six at Minnesota on Oct. 23, 2011…At Chicago (Dec. 16): Fared well in a much-anticipated matchup with the Bears’ Marshall. The secondary held Marshall to just five catches for 56 yards (9.3 avg.), well below his season averages, and just one of those receptions (a 9-yard catch in the first quarter) came against

Williams. Part of a pass defense that limited the Bears to just 107 net passing yards and a combined 181 net passing yards in the teams’ two contests, the lowest in a season for Green Bay against Chicago since 1977 (158 yards)…Vs. Minnesota (NFC Wild Card, Jan. 5): Appeared on all 62 defensive plays, finishing with a team-high-tying seven tackles (four solo) and a team-best three passes defensed.

2011: Started all 15 games in which he played, setting a then-career high for tackles with 65 (51 solo)…Posted his third consecutive season with 20-plus passes defensed with a new career-high and team-leading 24…Also collected four intercep-tions, including one he returned for his first regular-season TD at San Diego in Week 9…Suffered a shoulder injury in an awk-ward collision with Collins in the fourth quarter of the season opener…Missed the ensuing practice week and was inactive for the first time in his career in Week 2, snapping a streak of 72 consecutive games played (including playoffs)…Vs. New Orleans (Sept. 8): Finished with four tackles (three solo, one for a loss), a fumble recovery and a pass defensed. Recovered a WR Marques Colston fumble that was forced by Collins on the Saints’ second play from scrimmage, the fourth recovery of his career. Left the game in the fourth quarter after getting his arm caught in a collision with Collins. Sustained a shoulder injury and did not return…At Carolina (Sept. 18): Saw his streak of 72 consecutive games played (including playoffs) come to an end when the shoulder injury suffered the week before forced him to the inactive list for the first time in his career...At Chicago (Sept. 25): Returned to the lineup and appeared on all 54 defensive plays, finishing with one solo tackle and two passes defensed...At San Diego (Nov. 6): Made two tackles (one solo) and recorded his first INT of the season in the first quarter, one that he returned 43 yards for the first regular-sea-son TD of his career. On the play, broke hard on a quick out to the sideline thrown by QB Philip Rivers intended for WR Patrick Crayton, stepping in front of the WR and going untouched down the sideline for the score to extend Green Bay’s lead to 21-7 late in the first quarter…Vs. Tampa Bay (Nov. 20): Racked up a season-high nine tackles (all solo), and recorded the first regular-season multi-INT game of his career with two picks of QB Josh Freeman. Marked his third consecutive game with an INT, the second such stretch of his career (Weeks 4-6, 2008). The first came when he undercut a drag route, darting in front of WR Mike Williams to make the diving INT. Second INT was late in the fourth quarter when TE Kellen Winslow had a ball deflect off of his fingers and into the hands of Williams, who was in coverage behind the play. Returned the ball 28 yards on what was his fourth INT of the season and 20th of his career…At Detroit (Nov. 24): Totaled two tackles (one solo) and three passes defensed, serving as a central piece of the gameplan de-signed to stop explosive WR Calvin Johnson. Johnson finished with just four catches for 49 yards (12.3 avg.), with just one of them, a 5-yard completion, coming against Williams…Vs. N.Y. Giants (NFC Divisional, Jan. 15): Finished with six tackles (four solo) and a pass defensed. 2010: Started all 16 contests for the first time in his career, opening each game at RCB…Recorded 63 tackles, six intercep-tions, 23 passes defensed and two fumble recoveries…Led the team in INTs and passes defensed, and his regular-season INT total was tied for No. 5 in the NFL…Added a sack, two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble…Named a first alternate for the Pro Bowl, he was selected to the all-star game as an injury re-placement for Samuel, but he did not appear in the game as the Packers were preparing for Super Bowl XLV…Earned All-NFC recognition from Pro Football Weekly…Handled punt-return duties for the Packers, posting an 8.0-yard average on 41 re-turns…Started all four postseason games as he led the league with three interceptions, including one returned for a TD, during the playoffs…Became the first NFL player since the N.Y.

son…At Philadelphia (Sept. 12): Recorded a season-high three passes defensed (matched in Week 4 vs. Detroit) and re-covered a fumble by RB Eldra Buckley in the third quarter that was forced by Woodson…At Chicago (Sept. 27): Led the team with seven tackles (all solo) and added a sack. Early in the second quarter, timed his blitz perfectly to come through untouched as he dropped QB Jay Cutler for a 5-yard loss…At Washington (Oct. 10): Posted his first INT of the season, picking off QB Donovan McNabb on the final play of regulation at the Green Bay 3. Weaved through traffic before finally be-ing tripped up at the Washington 33 for a 64-yard return, the second longest of his career. Registered a 52-yard punt return in the second quarter, also the second longest of his career, as he joined CB Deion Sanders (Sept. 21, 1998) and CB Dar-rent Williams (Sept. 13, 2005) as the only NFL players since the merger to record an INT return of 60-plus yards and a punt return of 50-plus yards in the same game…Vs. Miami (Oct. 17): Recorded seven tackles (all solo), including one for a loss, along with an INT. Picked off QB Chad Henne’s pass intended for Marshall at the Green Bay 14 late in the first quarter to halt a Mi-ami scoring opportunity…At N.Y. Jets (Oct. 31): Turned in a stellar all-around performance, posting five tackles (all solo), an INT, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and two passes de-fensed. It was the first time in his career that he posted an INT, a forced fumble and a recovery in the same game…At Min-nesota (Nov. 21): Registered three tackles (two solo), an INT and two passes defensed. With the Packers leading 10-3 late in the first half, halted a promising Minnesota drive by stepping in front of WR Percy Harvin on a slant at the Green Bay 18 to pick off QB Brett Favre. The INT gave the offense the ball with just over a minute remaining, enough time for them to march for a quick TD and a 17-3 halftime lead…Vs. N.Y. Giants (Dec. 26): Posted his career-high sixth INT of the season, cutting in front of WR Hakeem Nicks at the Green Bay 47 in the first quarter to intercept Manning…At Philadelphia (NFC Wild Card, Jan. 9): Made the game’s defining play, leaping to inter-cept QB Michael Vick’s pass intended for WR Riley Cooper in the end zone with 33 seconds remaining to clinch the victory. Did not bite on a Vick pump fake, running step for step on a go-route to the end zone. Turned to find the ball and used his leap-ing ability to secure the pick against the 6-foot-3-inch Cooper. Finished the game with a team-high three passes defensed and three tackles (two solo)…At Atlanta (NFC Divisional, Jan. 15): Posted one of the most electrifying performances of the postseason, intercepting passes on back-to-back possessions in the second quarter. First made a leaping INT of QB Matt Ryan in the end zone on third-and-21 in front of WR Michael Jenkins, who lost his footing on the play. On the following drive, made what was arguably the key play of the game with a 70-yard INT return for a touchdown in the closing seconds of the first half to extend Green Bay’s lead to 28-14 at the break. With 10 seconds remaining, Atlanta called a timeout with the ball at the Green Bay 35 and attempted to pick up more yardage to move into FG range. Ryan threw toward the sideline to WR Roddy White, but Williams jumped inside the route to intercept the pass in stride,

swerving past a pair of Falcons on his way to the end zone. The INT return was the second longest in franchise postseason history, trailing only S George Teague’s 101-yarder at Detroit (Jan. 8, 1994). Became just the fourth player in team history to record multiple INTs in a playoff game…Vs. Pittsburgh (Super Bowl XLV, Feb. 6): Finished with six tackles (three solo) and a team-high three passes defensed, including one that sealed the game on fourth down on Pittsburgh’s final drive. On the final play, a fourth-and-5 from the Pittsburgh 33, perfectly read a curl route by WR Mike Wallace and jumped to knock the ball away to secure the world title. 2009: Played in all 16 games, plus the playoff contest, with 10 starts…Was nickel back for first 10 games before moving into starting RCB spot in Week 12 due to Harris’ season-ending knee injury…Led the team with 22 passes defensed…Posted 42 tackles (29 solo), four INTs and a sack…Added a career-high 11 tackles on special teams, which was tied for fourth on the team…Had a 10.4-yard average on 13 punt returns and also returned two kickoffs for 26 yards (13.0 avg.)…Became the first player in franchise history to post an INT return of 65 yards (67 vs. Chicago, Sept. 13) and a punt return of 45 yards (45 vs. Detroit, Oct. 18) in the same season…On the field for 767 of 996 (77.0 percent) defensive plays…Vs. Chicago (Sept. 13): Intercept-ed Cutler’s pass deep down the middle intended for WR Johnny Knox in the second quarter at Green Bay’s 32 and returned the pick 67 yards to Chicago’s 1 to set up a Ryan Grant TD run on the next play; the 67-yard return was his career long and the season long by a Packer. Posted three passes defensed and also tied for the team lead with two special teams tackles…Vs. Detroit (Oct. 18): Filling in for injured WR Jordy Nelson, returned a Nick Harris punt 45 yards in the second quarter, the longest punt re-turn of the season by a Packer…Vs. Detroit (Nov. 26): Moved into starting lineup at RCB in place of an injured Harris (knee), his first start of the season in the base defense, and remained there for the rest of the year. Posted four tackles (three solo) and an INT, picking off QB Matthew Stafford’s deep pass intended for WR Dennis Northcutt at the Green Bay 40…Vs. Baltimore (Dec. 7): Recorded a then-career-high four passes defensed, including an INT. With the Ravens at Green Bay’s 3 in the fourth quarter trailing 24-14, made a leaping INT of QB Joe Flacco’s pass in the end zone in front of WR Demetrius Williams…At Chicago (Dec. 13): Posted the first sack of his career when he brought down Cutler for an 8-yard loss on the Bears’ final series. With Green Bay trailing 14-13 early in the fourth quarter, also had a key pressure when he came on a corner blitz and got in Cutler’s face to force a bad throw to the left sideline that Collins picked off and returned 31 yards to the Chicago 11; Grant scored two plays later on 1-yard TD run for winning score…At Arizona (Jan. 3): Recorded four tackles (three solo), an INT and two passes defensed. Made a leaping grab of QB Brian St. Pierre’s pass intended for TE Stephen Spach on the sideline in the fourth quarter, and returned the pick 21 yards to Arizona’s 33…At Ari-zona (NFC Wild Card, Jan. 10): Posted six tackles (five solo) and added a stop on special teams.

ED BLOCK COURAGE AWARDIn 1978, the Baltimore Colts started an effort to raise funds for abused children and conceived an award they named after

their longtime trainer, the late Ed Block. In 1984, the award was taken league-wide to honor one player from each team who, in the eyes of his teammates, best exemplifies and displays courage. Below are the Packers winners, as voted by their teammates, from 1984-2013:
