Clay Matthews
1) Introduction: Packers OLB Clay Matthews entered the 2012 season looking to re-gain his 2010 form when he posted 15 sacks and helped lead the Packers to their third Super Bowl title. Matthews started strong before a hamstring injury sidelined him for over a month later in the season. He returned for the latter part of the season and helped boost an otherwise anemic pass rush.

3) Expectations coming into the season: The Packers needed a dramatic improvement over their 2011 defensive performance. Matthews was seen as a key piece to bolstering that side of the ball. Matthews was moved back to right outside linebacker where he was effective during his rookie season. With first round draft pick Nick Perry on the opposite side at left outside linebacker, the hope was that Mat...

A.J. Hawk
1) Introduction: Everyone knows the story of A.J. Hawk, because it’s how people have measured his reputation and performance. As the fifth overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, Hawk was supposed to be more than he has been. Being “assignment sure” has become more of a condemnation of his skills than an emblem of solid play. Still, Hawk has been the consistent force...

1) Introduction: Packers outside linebacker Erik Walden came into the 2012 training camp with slim odds of staying on the roster. The team had just drafted Nick Perry with their first round pick and Perry would surely get every opportunity to start opposite Clay Matthews. The team also saw undrafted rookie Dezman Moses emerge durin camp and it looked lik Walden...

Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers reunited on a public stage for the first time since Favre retired following the 2010 NFL season.
The relationship between the two was an interesting one. Rodgers was selected in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers and expected to eventually replace an aging Favre. He sat on the bench for three seasons and finally thought he...

In the years since Brett Favre moved on from Green Bay and eventually retired (with pit stops in New York and Minnesota), it’s been discovered that the relationship between the legendary quarterback and his successor, Aaron Rodgers, was bristly at best.
That’s surely why the NFL put the two former MVPs together to present the AP Comeback Player of the Year award at the NFL Honors...

Greg Jennings Interested in the Miami Dolphins

Greg Jennings is preparing for free agency this off-season. The almost 30-year old wide receiver has spent his whole career in Green Bay but when news broke that he put his home up for sale, many are assuming his time is up with the Packers.
If it is, the time comes for Jennings to decide where he will want to play next. And at least one destination makes a lot of sense.
