1) Introduction: Packers safety Jerron McMillian was the second of Green Bay’s two fourth round draft picks in 2012 (133rd overall). When the team lost safety Nick Collins in 2011, it quickly became a position of need for the Packers.

With Aaron Rodgers set to make just $9.75 million this season, it's fair to say the Green Bay Packers have received the better end of the deal on the six-year, $65 million pact their All-Pro quarterback signed back in 2008.
