AT A GLANCECAREER: A core member of the Packers’ special teams in his first three seasons, moved into a starting role at “Mack” linebacker in 2010 for the final 12 games and all four postseason contests following Nick Barnett’s season-ending wrist injury…Recorded career highs in nearly every statistical category, finishing second on the team in tackles with 121 (82 solo) while adding three sacks and an inter-ception that he returned for his first career TD…Led the linebackers and finished fourth on the team with a career-high 10 passes defensed, the most by a Green Bay LB since John Anderson registered 15 in 1981…Led the team with a career-high 22 tackles on special teams in 2009, and his 50 stops from 2007-10 were tied for the most by a Packer (Jarrett Bush) over that span…Saw limited action on the inside as a backup at “Buck” linebacker in ‘09, but also got time as the fifth linebacker when the team employed its “Psycho” package…Started to see more extensive ac-tion in 2008 as his duties expanded from strictly middle linebacker to include some work at the weak-side spot as well…Got one start at WLB in Week 14 vs. Houston and posted 12 tackles, including eight solo, and two forced fumbles, along with his first career sack…Led the Pack-ers with three forced fumbles in 2008…After battling an Achilles injury during training camp in ’08, came on strong in the final two preseason games to keep his roster spot and stayed relatively healthy in his second season, unlike his first when he missed four games because of a shoul-der injury…Began coming into his own late in his rookie year, making four special teams tackles in one game at St. Louis (Dec. 16, 2007)…Had a notable rookie preseason, leading the team with 18 tackles and starting once in the middle for Barnett (coach’s decision)…Productivity was evident in college at Cal, leading the team in tackles both his seasons there…Also led the Pacific-10 Conference in 2006 with 126 tackles, the most tackles recorded by a Cal player since Jerrott Willard in 1993; was the first Cal player to lead the conference in tackles since then…Most likely fell to the sixth round in the draft because of less-than-ideal speed for his position, but makes up for that with instincts and strength…Did 33 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press at the combine…Started all 25 games he appeared in at Cal (after transferring from junior college), collecting 215 tackles (125 solo), 21 stops for loss, three sacks, three interceptions, four passes defensed, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries…Ninth player from Cal drafted by the Packers and second in three-year period, joining QB Aaron Rodgers (D1-05).

2010 SEASON: Played in 15 games with a career-best 12 starts, opening the final 12 games, and also started all four playoff contests…Finished second on the team with a career-high 121 tackles (82 solo) and added career bests in sacks (three) and passes defensed (10) while also record-ing his first career INT (returned for TD)…Led the team with 30 tackles (26 solo) in the postseason and paced the squad with two fumble recoveries…Added a sack, a forced fumble and a pass defensed in the playoffs…Vs. Buffalo (Sept. 19): Was inactive for the first time since at Ten-nessee (Nov. 2, 2008) due to a hamstring injury that he originally sustained during the preseason. Aggravated the

injury in the season opener at Philadelphia (Sept. 12)…At Washington (Oct. 10): Started at “Mack” LB in place of an injured Barnett, the second start of his career and first since vs. Houston (Dec. 7, 2008). Responded with 13 tackles (10 solo), a sack, a tackle for loss, three QB hits and a pass defensed. Drilled QB Donovan McNabb for an 8-yard sack on the Redskins’ final drive of the first half…Vs. Miami (Oct. 17): Followed up his strong performance at Washington with a career-best 16 tackles (seven solo), and added a QB hit and a pass defensed…Vs. Minnesota (Oct. 24): Posted 11 tackles (six solo) and the first INT of his career that he returned 32 yards for a TD. Picked off QB Brett Favre in the third quarter and went untouched into the end zone to give Green Bay a 28-17 lead. Stayed with WR Randy Moss, his coverage assignment, despite a pump fake by Favre. Also put a hit on Moss on the fi-nal play of the game to help break up a Favre pass to the back of the end zone, preserving the 28-24 win…At N.Y. Jets (Oct. 31): Led the team with 13 tackles (12 solo) and matched his career high with two passes defensed…Vs. Dallas (Nov. 7): Sacked QB Jon Kitna for a 9-yard loss in the third quarter, forcing a fumble that was recovered by RB Felix Jones…Vs.

In the fourth quarter, hit WR Michael Jenkins after a 3-yard catch, jarring the ball loose before recovering at the Atlanta 33 to set up a 32-yard Mason Crosby FG…Vs. Pittsburgh (Super Bowl XLV, Feb. 6): Finished second on the team with nine tackles (eight solo), including three for a loss while adding a critical fumble recovery. Fumble recovery came on the first play of the fourth quarter with the Steelers driv-

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’ field 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 Real Madrid.

• 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 encir-cling the field. Cement was replaced with a rubberized wsurface, similar to the one adjacent to the 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.

YOUTH IS SERVED In Super Bowl XLV, Packers rookie right tackle Bryan Bulaga was part of an offensive line charged with quieting a formidable foe in the Pittsbugh Steelers’ defensive front. Led by veteran coordinator Dick LeBeau and noted pass-rushing linebackers James Harrison and LaMarr Woodley, the Pittsburgh defense ranked No. 2 in the NFL in total yardage during the regular season and led the league with 48 sacks. Bulaga and the offensive line were more than up to the challenge, allowing QB Aaron Rodgers time to throw for 304 yards and three touchdowns en route to garnering Super Bowl MVP honors in the 31-25 Green Bay victory. Even more impressive was that in opening the game for the Packers, Bulaga became the youngest player to ever start in the 45-year history of the Super Bowl. Bulaga was 21 years, 322 days old on the evening of the game, Feb. 6, 2011. Ironically, Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey would have laid claim to the distinction at 21 years, 197 days, but was forced to miss the game because of an injury. A look at the youngest players to have ever started in the Super Bowl, according to STATS LLC:

Pittsburgh (Super Bowl XLV, Feb. 6): Had an excellent all-around performance, first in his usual role on special teams and then when he saw significant playing time on defense following injuries in the second-ary.

Was pressed into extended defensive duty in place of CBs Sam Shields (shoulder) and Charles Woodson (collar bone) 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 second of his career. Picked up a crossing WR Mike Wallace with 4:35 left in the second quarter, read-ing QB Ben Roethlisberger’s pass to beat Wallace to the ball.

DRAFT &FREE AGENTS

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 third-best regular-season won-lost record since the 1993 institution of free agency (179-109-0, .622).

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 satisfaction: “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

Philadelphia (Sept. 9): Was a major factor on special teams, coming up with a fumble recovery and tying for a team high with three special teams stops.

The recovery gave the Packers possession, leading to a game-winning, 42-yard FG by Mason Crosby with two seconds left. Also provided big hit on earlier muffed punt, by Greg Lewis, that was eventually recovered by Tracy White for a Green Bay TD…Vs. Carolina (Nov. 30): Posted two special teams tackles and provided a key block on Williams’ 94-yard punt return, getting kicker John Kasay out of the way downfield (Kasay punted out of field goal formation)…Vs. Detroit (Dec. 30): Returned from calf injury and downed a 72-yard Ryan punt on the Detroit 1-yard line; the Lions went three-and-out on the subse-quent drive…Vs. N.Y.

AT A GLANCE• Earned Pro Bowl recognition for the second time in his career

as he was voted into the all-star game for the first time, hav-ing served as an injury replacement in 2007.

• Has blocked for five of the top eight single-season rushers in franchise history (Ahman Green, 2001-03; Ryan Grant; 2008-09), and has helped pave the way for a 1,000-yard rusher in eight of his 11 seasons in Green Bay.

• Reached the 150-game career milestone in 2010, making him only the sixth offensive lineman in franchise history to do so.

• Has started 122 of 128 games (132 of 138 including playoffs) at left tackle since returning to the field in ’03 from the seri-ous pelvic injury that ended his 2002 season.

• Had 53-game starting streak snapped in 2006 by a bout with the flu the night before and morning of game at Miami (Oct. 22), and 33-game streak ended in ’08 at Tennessee (Nov. 2) because of a pre-game illness due to a reaction to medication.

• As the left tackle, was a major factor in the Packers limiting opponents to an all-time franchise-low 14 sacks in 2004. Green Bay also did not allow a sack in eight games – another club single-season record.

• Played in two national championship games, including Fiesta Bowl victory over Florida State to culminate undefeated 1998 season, while a four-year starter at the University of Tennessee.

franchise low for a 16-game season…Included in that suc-cess was the Packers’ Nov. 16, 2003, win at Tampa Bay – a game with tremendous personal ramifications for him – when Green Bay snapped the Buccaneers’ NFL-record streak of 69 consecutive games with at least one sack…Just less than a year earlier (Nov. 24, 2002), on the same Raymond James Stadium field, his season had come to an untimely end when he suffered a badly sprained pelvis as the result of an unnecessary block on an interception return that he did not see coming (a play that the NFL made illegal in 2005)…Subsequently designated as Green Bay’s “fran-chise” player Feb. 24, 2004, he reached agreement with the Packers on his contract extension on the eve of free agency…Earlier, in 2001, was a large factor in Green Bay allowing the third-fewest sacks in the league (22), a figure that then also qualified as the least by a Packers team in 27 years…Was playing at a similarly high level in 2002 before the abrupt end to his season in Tampa…Had been thrust into the starting lineup seven games into his 2000 rookie campaign, immediately shoring up what had been a trouble spot for Green Bay early in the year…As a rookie starter, was not intimidated by the hostile crowds or noisy dome stadiums – situations he had encountered in the years prior as a standout at the University of Tennessee – while holding his own against some of the game’s better pass rushers…A second-round draft choice of the Packers in 2000, joined fellow rookie Tauscher in the lineup that year to give Green Bay its first pair of starting rookie offensive tackles in 48 years.

2010 SEASON: Opened up all 16 games at LT for the first time since 2007 and started all four playoff contests…Earned Pro Bowl recognition for the second time in his

CAREER: Steady presence at the left tackle position posted one of the finest seasons of his career in 2010…Earned Pro Bowl recognition for the second time in his ca-reer as he was voted into the all-star game for the first time, having served as an injury replacement in 2007…Started all 16 games in ’10 for the first time since 2007…As an unrestricted free agent, he signed a contract extension with the team March 2010…Played in his 150th regular-season game with Green Bay last season, a mark reached by only 18 other players in franchise history and just five other offensive lineman…Has played in 159 games, with 154 starts, plus 12 postseason contests…Has blocked for five of the top eight single-season rushers in franchise his-tory (Ahman Green, 2001-03; Ryan Grant; 2008-09), and has helped pave the way for a 1,000-yard rusher in eight of his 11 seasons…Has been part of a top-10 offense in the league in eight of his 11 seasons with the Packers…Fol-lowing the devastating pelvic injury that prematurely ended his 2002 season, he has successfully returned to the field to start 122 of 128 games (132 of 138 including playoffs) over the past eight seasons…Came off arthroscopic sur-gery on both knees and both shoulders heading into 2009, but an early-season ankle injury limited him to 12 games, his fewest since ’02…From 2008-09, helped the Packers become the first team in NFL history to have a 4,000-yard passer, a 1,200-yard rusher and two 1,000-yard receivers in back-to-back seasons…Made his first Pro Bowl trip fol-lowing the 2007 season as an alternate and injury replace-ment for Seattle’s Walter Jones (shoulder), but has been named an alternate on three other occasions as well (’04, ’05, ’09)…During that Pro Bowl season of ’07, solidified his reputation as one who can keep the opponent’s premier pass rusher quiet, holding a trio of fellow ’07 Pro Bowlers, the New York Giants’ Osi Umenyiora, San Diego’s Shawne Merriman and Kansas City’s Jared Allen (also the league leader in sacks), to a total of a half sack to help the Pack-ers tie for the third-fewest sacks allowed in the league with 19…Is known for his textbook technique and an ex-tensive regimen that gets his bumped and bruised body ready for gameday…Along with fellow veteran T Mark Tauscher, stepped into more of a leadership position along the offensive line in 2005 with the offseason departures of guards Marco Rivera and Mike Wahle…Had a starting streak of 53 consecutive games (56 including playoffs) snapped in 2006 when he became violently ill with the flu the night before the contest at Miami (Oct. 22)…Subse-quently missed only one of the next 44 contests (at Ten-nessee, Nov. 2, 2008, due to an allergic reaction to medica-tion) before sustaining an ankle injury in Week 2 in 2009.

Rewarded with a six-year contract extension through the 2009 season, on March 2, 2004, he certainly showed no signs of complacency the following year, helping the Pack-ers to an all-time franchise-low 14 sacks during the ’04 season…A year earlier, in his 2003 return to the field fol-lowing an arduous offseason of rehabilitation, started all 16 games for the first time as a professional and, as the left tackle, was a key cog in Green Bay allowing but 19 sacks – tied for the second fewest in the NFL and at the time the

career as he was voted into the all-star game for the first time after going as an injury replacement in ’07…Helped the Packers finish No. 9 in overall offense, the team’s fifth straight season in the top 10, and No. 5 in passing…Vs. Buffalo (Sept. 19): Started the game but struggled with a nagging knee injury and left the contest with six minutes remaining in the first half. Was replaced by rookie Bryan Bulaga for the remainder of the contest…At Chicago (Sept. 27): Part of a line that did not allow a sack of QB Aaron Rodgers. Was replaced by Bulaga briefly in the first half but returned to the field in the third quarter…At Washington (Oct. 10): Blocked for team’s season-high 157 yards on just 17 carries (9.2 avg.), the first time in franchise history that the Packers rushed for more than 150 yards on fewer than 20 attempts in a regular-season game…Vs. Minnesota (Oct. 24): In the 150th game of his NFL career, limited three-time Pro Bowl DE Jared Allen to just one tackle as the line did not allow a sack of Rodg-ers…Vs. Dallas (Nov. 7): Matched up primarily with LB DeMarcus Ware, who led the NFL with 15½ sacks in 2010,

and limited the perennial Pro Bowler to just two tackles…At New England (Dec. 19): Played in the 157th game of his career, a total that moved him into sole possession of fourth place among offensive lineman in team history as he surpassed T Ken Ruettgers and C/G Frank Winters (156 games each)…Vs. N.Y.

Part of a line that was credited with just one sack against a formidable Giants front… At Philadelphia (NFC Wild Card, Jan. 9): Blocked for RB James Starks, who posted 123 yards on 23 carries (5.3 avg.), the most by a rookie in franchise postseason history…At Atlanta (NFC Di-visional, Jan. 15): Part of a stellar day for the offense with the Packers recording a postseason franchise-record 48 points, 28 first downs and 442 net yards…At Chicago (NFC Championship, Jan. 23): Missed three series in the first half after sustaining a neck stinger on the open-ing drive.

1950-53: In their first season after Curly Lambeau’s 31-year reign, the “New Packers” intro-duce their first identify-ing mark; the logo is also present on 1950 stock certificates. It changes colors over the four years, as the team experi-ments with several uniform combinations.

1954-61: Looking for a fresh look with new coach Lisle Blackbourn, the team unveils new uniforms and a new mark. The logo locates both Green Bay and Milwaukee on a Wisconsin silhouette. The passer wears No. 41, worn two decades earlier by both Arnie Herber and Clarke Hinkle.

1959-74: Sideline logo, worn on hats, shirts and jackets by coaches, equip-ment managers and trainers at both games and practice. Coincided with Vince Lombardi’s first season, then retained by Phil Bengtson and Dan Devine.

1961-69: The primary logo during the Lombardi era, used on official Packers sta-tionery and publications. The team won five world championships under the mark. Before the ’69 season, after Lombardi’s departure to Washington, team letterhead shifts to a helmet logo. The mark still sees use into the ’70s, though.

1961-present: First and only helmet logo in team history, designed for Lombardi by equipment manager Dad Braisher and first applied to Packers headgear in 1961. After introducing the G, the team immediately won two world titles (1961-62), and five over the mark’s first seven years. Borrowed by scores of high schools and colleges.

1993: Commemorative logo, worn on jersey during ’93 season, signifying the team’s 75th professional season, since its birth in 1919. Wearing logo, team earned first playoff berth in 11 years, kicking off string of six straight postseason trips.

2003: Patch team wore for first two home games of ’03 to commemorate rededication of Lambeau Field, following three-year, $295-mil-lion renovation.

2006: Commemorative mark recognizing the 10th anniversa-ry of the team’s Super Bowl XXXI triumph over the New England Patriots.

2007: Emblem celebrat-ing the 50th anniversary of venerable Lambeau Field, worn on home jer-seys and painted in the end zones on the world-famous stadium grass.

Julius Peppers, who was limited to just two tackles…Vs.

Also helped protect Rodgers as he was sacked only one time; didn’t play in the fourth quarter (rest)…At Arizona (Jan. 3): Played first three quarters before resting for the fourth as the line didn’t allow a sack of Rodgers in his three quarters of play that produced 235 passing yards…At Ari-zona (NFC Wild Card, Jan. 10): Left game with just un-

der 12 minutes remaining with a right ankle injury. Helped offense post team playoff-record 493 total yards, including franchise-record 423 yards passing from Rodgers.

2008: Started 15 games at LT and helped pave the way for Grant’s (then) career-high 1,203 rushing yards…Also protected Rodgers on his way to 4,038 passing yards to give the Packers a 4,000-yard passer and a 1,200-yard rusher in the same season for the first time in team his-tory…Played 88.5 percent of the offensive snaps, miss-ing the Week 9 contest at Tennessee due to illness…Vs.

AT A GLANCE• Selected to the Pro Bowl for the third straight season in 2010,

becoming the first Packers safety since LeRoy Butler (1996-98) to earn the honor in three consecutive seasons.

• Ranks second in the league with 439 interception return yards since 2008, and is tied for second among NFL safeties with 17 interceptions over that span.

• Returned three INTs for TDs in 2008, becoming the first NFL safety to do so since Kansas City’s Lloyd Burruss in 1986. His 295 INT return yards in ’08 led the NFL and broke the franchise record (Bobby Dillon, 244 in 1956).

• Has missed just three games in six seasons (all in 2007, knee injury) since being drafted in the second round in 2005.

• Honored by the Packers as the team’s 2005 Defensive Rookie of the Year, and earned a spot on the prestigious All-Rookie team announced by Pro Football Weekly/Pro Football Writers of America.

• Became the first Packers rookie to start a regular-season opener at safety since Chuck Cecil in 1988.

• Upon drafting Collins, GM Ted Thompson assigned the rookie No. 36, last worn by four-time Pro Bowler Butler; Thompson told Butler he wouldn’t give out the number to just any player, tabbing Collins worthy of the honor.

• Only the second Bethune-Cookman athlete ever to play for the Packers, joining offensive tackle Steve Collier, who saw action for Green Bay in 1987.

CAREER: Talented, athletic defender has become one of the top playmakers in the league at the safety position…Se-lected to the Pro Bowl for the third straight season in 2010, becoming the first Packers safety since LeRoy Butler (2006-08) to receive that recognition in three consecutive seasons…Joined Baltimore’s Ed Reed and Arizona’s Adrian Wilson as the only safeties in the NFL to be named to the Pro Bowl each of the last three seasons…Also earned second-team All-Pro honors from The Associated Press for the third straight sea-son in 2010…Ranks second among all NFL players (Reed, 558) with 439 interception return yards since 2008, and his 17 interceptions over that span rank tied for second among safeties behind only Reed’s 20…Tied for the lead among NFL safeties with three INT returns for touchdowns since ’08…Has missed just three games due to injury in six seasons (all in 2007, knee)…Has posted 488 tackles (379 solo), 21 interceptions and 82 passes defensed during his career…Started all 16 games and all four playoff contests at free safety in 2010, posting 75 tackles (64 solo), four intercep-tions, 17 passes defensed and a fumble recovery…Helped the Packers rank No. 5 in pass defense and No. 5 in overall defense…Took on increased responsibilities as a signal caller in ’09 in new defensive coordinator Dom Capers’ 3-4 scheme, and started all 16 games at FS…Finished second on the team with six INTs, tied for fifth in the league…That followed a 2008 campaign that saw him intercept a career-best seven passes, nearly tripling his previous career total, and return three of them for TDs in earning his first Pro Bowl berth, the first Packers safety to earn the honor since Darren Sharper in 2002…Became the first NFL safety to run back three INTs for TDs in a season since Kansas City’s Lloyd Burruss in 1986, and tied CB Herb Adderley (1965) for the single-season fran-chise record in the category (Woodson also tied the mark in 2009)…Also led the NFL in INT return yards with 295 in ‘08, the sixth-best single-season mark in NFL history, which also topped Bobby Dillon’s previous single-season franchise mark of 244…Is tied with Johnny (Blood) McNally for No. 5 on the Packers’ all-time list for INT returns for TDs with four, needing one to tie Sharper and Dillon for third…Showed the first true glimpse of his game-changing ability in the 2006 regular-season finale at Chicago, when he intercepted two passes and returned one for a TD in Green Bay’s resound-ing victory over the eventual NFC champion Bears…In 2007, remained reliable and productive, but did not turn in those big plays in part due to a knee injury that forced him to miss the first and only three games of his career, plus a nagging back issue that he played through repeatedly in 2008…Upon drafting Collins, GM Ted Thompson assigned the rookie No. 36, last worn by four-time Pro Bowler Butler; Thompson told Butler he wouldn’t give out the number to just any player, tab-bing Collins worthy of the honor…Collins answered by earn-ing the Packers’ 2005 Defensive Rookie of the Year award…Took a little more than a week of his rookie training camp to gain his bearings, then grabbed onto the starter’s role at free safety and never relinquished it…Turned heads prior to the 2005 draft with a 40-inch vertical leap…Was the first of two second-round choices by Green Bay in the 2005 draft (51st overall and 12th defensive back), the Packers utilizing the pick acquired from New Orleans for CB Mike McKenzie in October 2004…Led the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference in

interceptions each of his last two seasons in college, earning all-league honors both years and successfully filling the void as Bethune-Cookman’s playmaker after three-time Division I-AA All-American CB Rashean Mathis departed for the NFL (Jaguars)…Also was a third-team Division I-AA All-America pick as a senior…Is only the second Bethune-Cookman ath-lete ever to play for the Packers, joining T Steve Collier, who suited up for Green Bay in 1987.

day came on special teams. Picked up the ball after CB/S Jar-rett Bush ripped it from the arms of KR Bryan McCann and returned the fumble 26 yards for a TD. The score was the fifth of his career, but the first on special teams and the first off a fumble return…Vs. San Francisco (Dec. 5): Posted four solo stops and an INT, making a diving pick of a QB Troy Smith pass intended for TE Vernon Davis in the fourth quarter…At New England (Dec. 19): Lined up wide on the opening kickoff and recovered a surprise onside kick by K Mason Crosby at the Green Bay 47; Packers would drive 40 yards in 11 plays for a FG. Injured his ribs in the second quar-ter; had X-rays and did not return…Vs. N.Y Giants (Dec. 26): Despite being listed as questionable all week with the rib injury, played every defensive snap and recorded five tackles (three solo), an INT, a fumble recovery and a pass defensed. Late in the third quarter with Green Bay holding a 31-17 lead, recovered a fumble that was forced when LB Clay Matthews raced from behind and punched the ball out from the arms of RB Brandon Jacobs. Pounced on the ball at the Green Bay 27 after it was tipped back by LB Desmond Bishop to keep it from going out of bounds. Intercepted a QB Eli Manning pass intended for WR Mario Manningham in the fourth quarter…Vs. Chicago (Jan. 2): Posted the game-clinching INT in the closing seconds to seal a postseason berth for the Pack-ers. With the Packers leading 10-3, picked off QB Jay Cutler at the Green Bay 11 with 20 seconds remaining. On second down at the Green Bay 32, Cutler overthrew WR Devin Hester in the middle of the field; Collins returned the INT 24 yards before falling to the turf at the Packers’ 35 with 10 seconds left…Vs. Pittsburgh (Super Bowl XLV, Feb. 6): Posted a game-changing interception when he picked off QB Ben Ro-ethlisberger in the opening quarter. Was lined up single-high behind the middle of the formation, but broke to his right and streaked toward the sideline to pick off the pass that fell well short of its intended target, WR Mike Wallace. Intercepted the pass just in front of the Pittsburgh sideline at the Steel-ers’ 37 and weaved through several offensive players before leaping forward at the 3-yard line into the end zone. The turn-over marked the first postseason INT of his career as Collins joined Adderley as the only players in franchise history to re-turn an INT for a TD in a Super Bowl. Was treated for cramps at halftime but did not miss any game action. Played a critical role in keeping the defensive backfield together in the second half in the absence of veteran CB Charles Woodson (collar-bone) and nickel CB Sam Shields (shoulder). Finished with five tackles (four solo) and a pass defensed.

2009: Earned Pro Bowl recognition for the second straight season and also earned second-team All-Pro honors from AP for the second straight year…Started every game at FS as well as the team’s playoff contest…Posted 54 tackles (45 solo), six INTs, a sack, a fumble recovery and 16 passes de-fensed…The six INTs ranked second on the team and tied for fifth in the league…On the field for 916-of-996 defensive snaps (92.0 percent), good for second on the team behind only Woodson…Added six tackles on special teams and a fumble recovery on a kickoff return…Was selected by his teammates as the winner of the Ed Block Courage Award…Vs.

midway through the second quarter with a clavicle sprain and did not return…Vs.

Dal-las (Nov. 15): Posted the first sack of his career when he came off the right edge to bring QB Tony Romo down for a 1-yard loss on a third-and-3 on the Cowboys’ opening drive. Tied for the team lead with two passes defensed…Vs. San Francisco (Nov. 22): Intercepted QB Alex Smith’s pass intended for TE Vernon Davis at the San Francisco 21 early in the fourth quarter and returned the pick 10 yards to set up a Ryan Grant TD run four plays later. Finished with a team-leading three passes defensed…At Detroit (Nov. 26): Re-corded five tackles (three solo) and an INT. Stopped a Detroit drive late in the first quarter when he picked off QB Matthew Stafford’s pass intended for TE Will Heller on third down, doing a nice job to keep both feet in bounds near the sideline at the Lions’ 26…Vs. Baltimore (Dec. 7): Posted the first defensive fumble recovery of his career when he scooped up RB Ray Rice’s fumble (forced by DE Johnny Jolly) at the Green Bay 15 on the Ravens’ opening drive; returned fumble 4 yards. On Ravens’ next possession, intercepted QB Joe Flacco’s deep pass intended for WR Derrick Mason on a flea-flicker and returned the pick 25 yards to Green Bay’s 48…At Chicago (Dec. 13): With Packers trailing 14-13 early in the fourth quarter, picked off Cutler’s pass intended for WR Johnny Knox on the left sideline at the Chicago 42. Returned the pick 31 yards down the sideline to the Bears’ 11, and Grant scored two plays later on a 1-yard TD for the winning score. Became the first Packer since DB John Sy-mank in 1961 to post an INT in four straight games…At Arizona (NFC Wild Card, Jan. 10): Led the team with 11 tackles (10 solo), including two for loss. Brought RB Beanie Wells down for a 5-yard loss on a run off left end late in the first quarter, and stopped Wells again for a 3-yard loss in the second quarter on a run off the right side…Pro Bowl (Jan. 31): Started at FS and posted four tackles (three solo).

Ht: 6-1 Wt: 207 • Born: September 3, 1984 • NFL Games Played/Started: 64/0 • Acquired: D6c-07

AT A GLANCE

at Colorado, where he holds the all-time records for points scored (307), field goals made (66) and attempted (88), extra points made (109) and attempted (117), field goal percentage (75.0) and longest field goal made (60 yards)…His field goals made, attempted and percentage also set Big 12 Conference career marks…Earned various first-team All-American honors his final two seasons and was a semifinalist for the Lou Groza Award his final three years.

2010 SEASON: Led the team in scoring for the fourth straight season with 112 points…The point total ranked No. 5 in the NFC and No. 11 in the NFL among kickers…Cleared the 100-point plateau for the fourth straight sea-son, connecting on 22-of-28 field goals (78.6 percent) and all 46 of his extra-point attempts…Was 10-of-14 (71.4 per-cent) from 40 yards and out, a career-high percentage from that range…Successfully converted an onside kick and registered three tackles on special teams…Good on 3-of-4 field-goal attempts and all 16 extra points in the postsea-son, with his 25 points ranking tied for No. 2 in franchise history for a single postseason behind only Jacke’s 26 in 1996…At Philadelphia (Sept. 12): Opened the season by etching his name in the record books, drilling a fran-chise-record 56-yard field goal as time expired in the first half. The 56-yarder was the longest in the NFC all season and ranks No. 2 in Lincoln Financial Field history behind only David Akers’ 57-yarder in 2003, the stadium’s inau-gural season. Also good from 49 yards out earlier in the second quarter as part of a performance that earned him NFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors, the first time he had received the award since taking home the honor for his NFL debut vs. Philadelphia in ’07. Was the first time in his career that he posted two field goals of 49-plus yards

CAREER: Kicker known for his strong leg and level head has surpassed the 100-point mark in each of his four sea-sons in Green Bay, one of only two players in team history (Ryan Longwell, 1997-2004) to accomplish that feat…His 509 career points are the second most in league history by a player in his first four seasons, trailing only New England K Stephen Gostkowski (513 points from 2006-09)…By hit-ting the career 500-point mark in his 63rd game, became the second fastest to 500 points in team history behind only Hall of Fame RB Paul Hornung (60 games)…Ranked fifth in the NFC and 11th in the NFL in scoring among kickers with 112 points in 2010, connecting on 22-of-28 field goals (78.6 percent)…Good on 10-of-14 field goals from 40 yards and out, a career-high 71.4 percent from that range…Scored 129 points in 2009 to push his three-year total to 397, an NFL record for a player in his first three seasons and the second most in the league from 2007-09 behind Gostkowski (410)…Posted a career-best 17 touchbacks in 2008, the most by a Packers kicker since Chester Marcol’s 28 in 1972 and the most since kickoffs were moved back to the 30-yard line in 1994…Oaverall in four seasons has made 107-of-137 field goals (78.1 percent) and 188-of-189 PATs (99.5 percent), his lone miss coming at St. Louis in 2009 (Sept. 27) and breaking a string of 100 straight (108 including playoffs) to begin his pro career…That miss ended a string of 168 consecutive PATs overall dat-ing back to his sophomore season in college at Colorado, with his previous miss coming on Nov. 6, 2004, at Kansas.

His decorated rookie year began by winning the kicking job from incumbent Dave Rayner during 2007 training camp as a sixth-round draft pick…Captured the league scoring title with 141 points, becoming the first rookie to lead the NFL since Chicago K Kevin Butler in 1985…Finished just three points shy of tying Butler’s NFL record for points in a sea-son by a rookie kicker (144)…Also set franchise records for points in a season by a kicker, surpassing Longwell’s 131 points in 2000, and for points by a rookie, joining Marcol (1972), Chris Jacke (1989) and Longwell (1997) as the only kickers in Packers history to score more than 100 points as a rookie…His 141 points in 2007 rank third behind Hornung (176 in 1960, 146 in 1961) on the team’s single-season scoring list…Also earned NFC Special Teams Player of the Month for November, when he made 12-of-15 field goals over a five-game stretch, including five from 45 yards or longer…Booted a 53-yard FG and a 42-yard game winner in his first professional contest, vs. Philadelphia (Sept. 9, 2007), and his season took off from there, earning recognition on the Dallas Morning News All-Rookie team…A good athlete who has made 15 tackles on special teams in his career and could serve as emergency punter if needed…In college, already had proven his kicking prowess was not simply a product of kicking in the mountain air of Colorado, having hit a 58-yard field goal at Miami in 2005, the longest field goal at “sea level” in NCAA Division I-A history without a tee…The only players in football history, college or pro, to kick longer field goals at sea level without a tee were a pair of New Orleans Saints – Tom Dempsey (63 vs. Detroit in 1970) and Morten Andersen (60 vs. Chicago in 1991)…Established a total of 31 game, season and career records

• His 509 career points are the second most in NFL history by a player in his first four seasons, behind only New England K Stephen Gostkowski (513 points from 2006-09).

• By hitting the career 500-point mark in his 63rd career game (Week 16 vs. N.Y. Giants), became the second fastest to 500 points in team history behind Hall of Fame RB Paul Hornung (60 games).

• Drilled a franchise-record 56-yard field goal at Philadelphia in Week 1 last season, earning NFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors for his performance.

• Captured the league scoring title with 141 points in 2007, be-coming the first rookie to do so since Chicago K Kevin Butler in 1985 and setting Green Bay records for points by a kicker, and by a rookie (any position), in a single season.

• Established a total of 31 game, season and career records at Colorado. His field goals made, attempted and percentage also set Big 12 Conference records.

• Made a 58-yard FG at Miami in 2005, the longest field goal at sea level in NCAA Division I-A history without a tee. Had a 65-yard FG attempt fall less than a yard short in 2006 vs. Iowa State.

• Had made 100 consecutive PATs as a pro, and 168 overall dat-ing back to his sophomore season in college, when he missed one in 2009 at St. Louis (Sept. 27). His previous PAT miss came at Kansas on Nov. 6, 2004.

Sprayed the ball wide to his right as S Nick Collins recovered it near the sideline at the Green Bay 47.

The Packers drove 40 yards in 11 plays following the onside to set up his 31-yard FG…Vs. N.Y. Giants (Dec. 26): Was good on all six extra points and his lone FG attempt to eclipse the 500-point mark for his career.

Detroit (Oct. 18): Matched his career high with four FGs, making kicks of 46, 28, 31 and 26 yards, and posted season-high 14 points…At Tampa Bay (Nov. 8): With all of them coming in the first half, matched career high with three touchbacks on kickoffs (also at Detroit, Sept. 14, 2008; vs. San Diego, Sept. 23, 2007)...Seattle (Dec. 27): Scored 12 points (2 FG, 6 PAT), which included matching his season-long FG with 52-yarder in the fourth quarter, the eighth 50-yarder of his career…At Arizona (NFC Wild Card, Jan. 10): Perfectly executed an onside kick midway through the third quarter, the first by a Packers kicker in the postseason since Josh Bidwell (at St. Louis, Jan. 20, 2002). With the Packers trailing 31-17, his one-bounce kickoff was recovered in the air by CB Brandon Underwood at Green Bay’s 43; the offense utilized the field position by scoring a TD in eight plays to narrow the Cardinals’ lead to 31-24. Matched his own team playoff record with six PATs (vs. Se-attle, Jan. 12, 2008) and made 1-of-2 FGs, connecting on 20-yarder as time expired in first half but missing 54-yard kick wide right early in the second quarter. Added a special teams tackle.

What’s more, Bengtson faced the toughest schedule ever thrown at the Packers. The toughest schedules in team history, based on opponent records at the end of that season:

AT A GLANCE

(2,664)…Stepped forward again in 2005 when injuries dec-imated the Packers at the skill positions and was the team’s lone reliable playmaker for the duration of the season, earning the team’s MVP award for the second time (also 2002)…Three-year stretch of personal bests culminated in 92 catches for 1,295 yards in 2006 to earn his second Pro Bowl appearance…Those totals ranked third and second in the NFC, respectively; both were fifth in the NFL in 2006, and his career-high 191-yard performance at Minnesota (Nov. 12) was the best single-game total by an NFC receiver on the season…Continued since then with three more 1,000-yard seasons from 2007-09, including a third Pro Bowl nod in ‘07, and was one of only two receivers in the league (along with Indianapolis’ Reggie Wayne) to go over 1,000 yards each of those six years (2004-09)…Remains a legiti-mate big-play threat, posting 64 receptions of 25-plus yards since 2004, which ranks No. 5 in the league over that span behind only Terrell Owens (72), Larry Fitzgerald (71), Steve Smith (69) and Wayne (69)…Also ranks fifth in the league with 7,410 receiving yards since 2004, trailing only Wayne (8,849), Fitzgerald (8,204), Andre Johnson (8,188) and Chad Ochocinco (7,933)…All this from a seventh-round draft choice in 1999 who initially carved out a roster spot by regularly making phenomenal catches in his first training camp, putting on display the tremendous athleticism that made him a one-time Olympic hopeful in the high jump (7 feet, 6½ inches was his top mark)…Broke through as the team’s No. 3 receiver for much of 2000, when he replaced an injured Corey Bradford, and became the lowest-drafted Packers Pro Bowler in 19 years in 2002…Now as a veteran

CAREER: A consistently productive pro whose name appears throughout the franchise record books, is now is on the verge of perhaps the most prestigious one for a receiver…Enters 2011 with 9,615 receiving yards, needing just 42 to surpass James Lofton (9,656) as Green Bay’s all-time leader in the category…Climbed past Don Hutson (7,991) and Sterling Sharpe (8,134) into second place in 2009 with his sixth straight 1,000-yard season and seventh overall, extending two franchise marks…Also assumed the top spot in team history for receptions ahead of Sharpe (595) with a 70-catch season in 2009, and enters the 2011 campaign with 698 career receptions…With two more catches, will become the 33rd player in NFL history to hit the 700-reception mark for his career…Despite battling a quad injury in 2010, finished second on the team with 51 catches and fourth on the squad with 565 receiving yards…Was credited with his fourth career Pro Bowl selection in 2010 since he would have been named to the all-star squad as an injury replacement for Eagles WR DeSean Jackson had the Packers not been preparing for Super Bowl XLV…His ninth season of 50-plus catches in 2010 added to his team record, topping Lofton and Sharpe (seven each)…Holds the Lambeau Field records for receptions (333) and receiving yards (4,601)…Saw his franchise-record streak of 133 games with at least one reception (139 including play-offs) come to an end in 2010 vs. Minnesota in Week 7…With 53 career TD receptions, ranks No. 4 in team history behind only Hutson (99), Sharpe (65) and Antonio Freeman (57); 36 of those came from Brett Favre, putting Favre and Driver third among Green Bay touchdown combinations…His 54 career TDs (53 receiving, 1 rushing) make him one of just 10 players in team history with 50 touchdowns…Teamed with Greg Jennings in ’09 as the Packers posted a pair of 1,000-yard receivers for only the fifth time in team history; Driver has contributed to three of those, also team-ing with Jennings in ’08 and Javon Walker in ’04…Has 22 career 100-yard receiving games, good for fourth in team history and two shy of No. 3 Hutson (24)…Also ranks third all-time in yards from scrimmage with 9,832, need-ing just 70 yards to move past Lofton (9,901) for the No. 2 spot…Added 14 receptions in the 2010 playoffs to give him 46 career postseason catches, good for second place in team annals behind only Freeman (47)…With 630 ca-reer receiving yards in the playoffs, ranks third in franchise history behind Freeman (748) and Robert Brooks (651).

Wants to play until he’s 40, and just may do that with the tre-mendous care he takes of his body…Signed a contract ex-tension in August 2010 that could enable him to retire with the only team he has played for…With 176 games played, ranks seventh in franchise history and would move up to third with another full 16-game season…Impressive, unin-terrupted run of success began in 2004, when he first ap-proached age 30, with the first of three straight years setting personal highs in receptions and yards…That year, teamed with Walker to register the Packers’ best season by a receiv-ing duo in both combined receptions (173) and combined receiving yards (2,590); yardage total ranked second in the NFL that year behind the Rams’ Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce

• Ranks first on the franchise’s all-time list for receptions with 698 and ranks second in team history with 9,615 career yards, needing just 42 more yards to surpass James Lofton (9,656).

• Has caught 50 or more passes in a season a franchise-best nine times, topping Lofton and Sterling Sharpe (seven each).

• All-time leader in receptions (333) and receiving yards (4,601) at Lambeau Field.

• Extended two team records in 2009 with his seventh 1,000-yard season and sixth straight. Indianapolis’ Reggie Wayne was the only other player in the league to have a 1,000-yard season each of those six years (2004-09).

• One of the NFL’s most decorated collegiate track athletes (high jump, decathlon, long jump, triple jump), won his conference’s Athlete of the Year award three straight years. Likely could have qualified for 2000 Sydney Olympics in high jump had he concentrated on track.

• Overcoming countless obstacles growing up has inspired him to become one of the team’s most involved players in giving back to the community. In 2000, he and his wife created the Donald Driver Foundation (www.donalddriverfoundation.com), which offers assistance to homeless mothers and underprivileged children as well as scholarships to high school students in three states. In addition, has made more than 500 appearances since 1999, from schools to youth football fields to churches, delivering motivational speeches or offering assistance.

Detroit (Oct. 3): Posted three catches for a season-high 89 yards (29.7 avg.) and a TD. His 29-yard scoring grab on Green Bay’s open-ing drive was actually intended for TE Jermichael Finley, but the veteran WR curled underneath Finley’s route and made a diving catch while the TE pulled up and out of his way. Also hauled in a 61-yard pass in the second quarter that set up a 17-yard TD pass to Jennings on the next play…Vs. Minnesota (Oct. 24): Did not have a reception, snap-ping his franchise-record streak of 133 consecutive games (139 including playoffs) with a reception…At N.Y.

Hauled in an Aaron Rodgers pass near the San Francisco 40, then spun away from a tackle attempt by S Reggie Smith near the 25. Once he got away from Smith, shook off a hit up high from S Dashon Goldson. Made a cut near the side-line at the 10 to elude CB Nate Clements before plowing through Clements, Goldson and LB Ahmad Brooks near the pylon to get into the end zone…At Philadelphia (NFC Wild Card, Jan. 9): Recorded a team-high five catches for 56 yards (11.2 avg.).

Pittsburgh (Super Bowl XLV, Feb. 6): Started as part of a four-WR set and posted two catches for 28 yards (14.0 avg.) before suffering an ankle injury in the second quarter and watching the rest of the game from the sideline in a walking boot. Long catch of 24 yards came on Green Bay’s opening drive after LB James Farrior jumped into the neutral zone and the Packers had a free play. Ran vertically from the right slot, getting inside position to haul in the Rodgers pass in front of CB Anthony Madison. Injury was sustained with 10:15 to play in the first half following a 4-yard grab when his ankle got tangled amidst a tackle attempt by Farrior.

Also caught 21-yard TD pass on the left sideline late in the second quarter, and with 13-yard reception on first drive, moved past Sharpe (8,134) for second in franchise his-tory for receiving yards…At Minnesota (Oct. 5): Caught four passes for 55 yards (13.8 avg.) as his final catch of the night, a 10-yarder late in the fourth quarter, tied Sharpe for the franchise’s all-time mark in receptions with 595…Vs. Detroit (Oct. 18): On the Packers’ second series, caught a quick hitch at the line of scrimmage and picked up 5 yards for his 596th career reception, surpassing Sharpe to become the franchise’s all-time receptions leader. Added an impressive one-handed grab late in the third quarter as he hauled in a 37-yard pass from Rodgers with his left hand despite being interfered with by CB Demarcus Faggins. Finished the afternoon with team-leading seven catches (including his 600th career) for team-high 107 yards (15.3 avg.), the 21st 100-yard game of his career, moving him ahead of Freeman for sole possession of fourth place in team annals…At Cleveland (Oct. 25): Led team with 84

DRAFT &FREE AGENTS

For six consecutive seasons between 2004-09, Donald Driver had at least 1,000 receiving yards, joining Indianapolis’ Reggie Wayne as the only NFL players to post six consecutive 1,000-yard seasons over that span. • Driver had 1,061 receiving yards in 2009, his seventh overall 1,000-yard campaign, extending his own franchise record. • Already the record holder for receptions and receiving yards at Lambeau Field, Driver surpassed Sterling Sharpe (595) on Oct. 18,

2009, on the team’s all-time receptions list. He enters play in 2011 with 698 career catches. • With the receptions mark in hand, Driver is now primed to become the franchise’s all-time receiving yardage leader early in 2011.

He needs just 42 yards to surpass No. 1 James Lofton (9,656) on the team’s all-time list. • Driver’s numbers over the past seven seasons (2004-10) are comprable to the game’s best:

AT A GLANCE• In 2010, led the team in receiving yards (301) and per-catch

average (14.3) through four games before going down for the season with a knee injury on the second offensive snap at Washington in Week 5.

• In breakout 2009 campaign, posted second-most catches in a single season by a Green Bay tight end (55) and fifth-most yards (676), despite missing three games with a knee injury.

• Finished ’09 with Green Bay playoff-record 159 receiving yards in NFC Wild Card loss at Arizona, the second-most productive game by a tight end in NFL postseason history behind San Diego’s Kellen Winslow (166 yards, Jan. 2, 1982, vs. Miami).

• Also in ’09, tied regular-season, single-game franchise marks for yards (128, Week 4 at Minnesota) and receptions (nine, Week 15 at Pittsburgh) by a tight end. Again matched the reception mark in 2010 with nine at Chicago in Week 3.

• Ranks third in University of Texas history for career receptions by a tight end with 76, despite playing only two seasons.

• Became first Packers draftee from the University of Texas since 1991, and was the highest pick used on a TE by the Packers since Bubba Franks was selected in the first round (14th overall) in 2000.

CAREER: A still-developing star who in 2010 looked poised to build on his breakout sophomore campaign of ’09 before a knee injury ended his season in Week 5…Through four games last season, led the Packers in receiving yards (301) and per-catch average (14.3) and had already posted two 100-yard games to tie Paul Coffman’s club record for tight ends in a single season…The 301 receiving yards through Week 4 ranked second among NFL tight ends be-hind only San Diego’s Antonio Gates (386)…Injured his knee attempting to tackle Washington safety Kareem Moore, who had recovered fellow TE Donald Lee’s fumble on the Packers’ second snap from scrimmage at FedExField…The injury required surgery and landed him on injured reserve…Became a favorite target of QB Aaron Rodgers as the big-play flashes from the end of his rookie season carried over to his second year…Despite missing three midseason games due to a knee injury, had one of the most productive seasons by a tight end in team history in ’09 with 55 catches for 676 yards and five touchdowns, adding six catches for a team playoff-record 159 yards in the NFC Wild Card game at Arizona…Finished just one shy of Coffman’s single-season franchise-best 56 catches by a TE in 1979, tying for second on the list with Coffman (1981) and Jackie Harris (1992)…The 676 yards were the fifth most by a Packers TE and the most since Mark Chmura’s 679 in 1995…Had seven or more receptions in three games to set a new team record, and had at least six catches four times in the regular season to match Coffman’s ’79 output…His eight 50-yard games did top Coffman’s franchise mark of seven (’81, ’83)…Upon returning from injury in Week 11, ranked third in the league among TEs in receptions with 37, trailing only Dallas’ Jason Witten (45) and Atlanta’s Tony Gonzalez (39)…His playoff performance broke the previous team high of 148 yards by WR John Jefferson (Jan. 8, 1983, vs. St. Louis) and was No. 2 in NFL playoff history by a TE behind only San Diego’s Kellen Winslow (166 yards, Jan. 2, 1982, vs. Miami)…Has three-year career totals of 82 receptions for 1,051 yards (12.8 avg.) and seven TDs…Ranks second to Coffman (six) among Green Bay TEs for most career 100-yard games with three…Is particularly dangerous around the goal line, as four of his TD catches have come on short fade routes over smaller, overmatched defenders…Also possesses explosive capabilities with 18 career catches of 20-plus yards (plus three more in playoffs), including a 62-yard TD in 2009, the longest reception by a Green Bay tight end in 16 years…Third-round draft pick in 2008 who showed that big-play ability with two receptions of 25-plus yards in the final two weeks of his rookie season, when he was the youngest player on Green Bay’s roster…Came to the NFL after playing only two seasons at the University of Texas, where he caught 76 passes for 947 yards in just 26 games…Ranks third in school history in receptions by a TE and sixth in receiving yardage, despite playing only two years…Earned honorable mention All-Big 12 honors from the league’s coaches as a sophomore and honorable men-tion Freshman All-America recognition from Sporting News.

2010 SEASON: Started the first five games, but lasted just two snaps in the fifth game when he injured his knee and was lost for the season…Through four contests, led

the Packers in receiving yards (301) and per-catch aver-age (14.3), as seven of his 21 receptions went for 20-plus yards…Had already tied Coffman’s 1979 single-season team mark for TEs with two 100-yard games, and his yard-age total ranked second in the league behind Gates (386) among all TEs through four games…At Philadelphia (Sept. 12): Had four catches for 47 yards (11.8 avg.), with three receptions picking up first downs…Vs. Buf-falo (Sept. 19): Had four catches for 103 yards, including receptions of 34, 32 and 22 yards. The 25.8-yard average was the second-best single-game outing in team history by a TE (min. four receptions), trailing only Coffman’s 30.5-yard mark on four catches at Chicago on Dec. 18, 1983…At Chicago (Sept. 27): Tied his career high and the franchise mark for TEs with nine receptions, and posted his second straight 100-yard game (115) to join Coffman in ’79 as the only TEs in club history to achieve the feat. His third regular-season 100-yard game put him second to Coffman’s six in the team record books for TEs. Had catch-es of 28, 26 and 20 yards to give him seven receptions of 20-plus in just three games…Vs. Detroit (Oct. 3): Had four catches for 36 yards (9.0 avg.), including a 13-yard TD that Rodgers fired through a tight window over the middle for a 14-0 lead…At Washington (Oct. 10): Injured his knee attempting to tackle Redskins S Moore, who had re-covered Lee’s fumble on the second snap of the game. Left the game, was inactive the following week and placed on injured reserve Oct. 18.

2009: Played in 13 games with nine starts and ranked third on the team with career bests of 55 catches and 676 yards (12.6 avg.) despite missing three games due to injury...Tied for second on the team with a career-high five TD catches...Reception total was one shy of Coffman’s single-season team record for a TE (’79), tying him with Coffman (’81) and Harris (’92) for No. 2…Yardage total was fifth most

Broke open down the right sideline and caught a 62-yard TD pass from Rodgers, making a move to elude S Tyrell Johnson. The catch was the longest of his career and the longest reception by a Packers TE since Harris’ 66-yarder in the ’93 game against the Broncos…At Cleveland (Oct. 25): Caught a 16-yard pass over the middle on the Pack-ers’ opening drive, but sustained a sprained left knee on the play and did not return…Vs.

Baltimore (Dec. 7): Started and posted seven receptions for 79 yards (11.3 avg.) and two TDs, the first multi-TD game of his career. First TD catch came in the second quarter when he out-jumped S Tom Zbikowski on a fade route for a 2-yard score. Also had a 29-yard catch down the seam and a 14-yard grab on the drive to help set up the TD. Left game early in the third quarter after rein-juring his knee, but returned later in the quarter. Early in the fourth quarter, caught pass from a scrambling Rodgers inside the 5, ran over Zbikowski and extended the ball past the goal line for 19-yard TD as LB Ray Lewis attempted to bring him down…At Pittsburgh (Dec. 20): Started and led the team with a career-high nine catches for 74 yards (8.2 avg.), matching the single-game franchise mark for receptions held by three other TEs.

Seattle (Dec. 27): Finished second on the team with 80 receiv-ing yards on three catches, including grabs of 28 and 38 yards.

His yardage total was also No. 2 in NFL playoff history by a TE behind only Winslow (166 yards, Jan. 2, 1982), and his 26.5-yard average was a league playoff record for TEs (min. five receptions). Late in the first half, caught a 44-yard pass down the right sideline to Arizona’s 26 despite being interfered with by CB Bryant McFadden; the catch set up a Crosby FG as time expired in the opening half. Picked up 23 yards on third-quarter catch down the left sideline to the Cardinals’ 21 that helped set up a Jordy Nelson TD catch three plays later. Had 38-yard catch-and-run down the left sideline early in the fourth quarter to Arizona’s 29 that helped set up a John Kuhn 1-yard TD run two plays later, tying the game at 38.

2008: Played in 14 games, second most among the team’s rookies (Nelson, 16), with one start…Caught six passes for 74 yards (12.3 avg.) and one TD…Recorded six special teams tackles, the most among Packers rook-ies…On the field for 54.9 percent of special teams plays, which ranked fourth on the team and first among rookies…Inactive for opening two games, vs. Minnesota (Sept. 8) and at Detroit (Sept. 14) as a healthy scratch…Vs.

AT A GLANCECAREER: Will handle backup-quarterback duties for the fourth straight season after seeing the most significant action of his career in 2010, highlighted by his first pro start…Had the confidence of the coaching staff to step in whenever he was needed, and he rewarded that faith with a standout performance in Week 15 at New England…With Aaron Rodgers inactive for the first time in his career as a starter (concussion), got the starting nod against an 11-2 Patriots team that entered the game with a league-high 15-game winning streak at home…Completed 24-of-37 passes for 251 yards and three touchdowns with one inter-ception for a 100.2 passer rating in Green Bay’s 31-27 loss, one that came down to the Packers’ final drive in the closing seconds…According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the 100.2 passer rating was the highest by an NFL quarterback mak-ing his first career start against a team with a 10-2 record or better since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger…It was the first time the Packers started a QB other than Rodgers or Brett Favre since Sept. 20, 1992, when Don Majkowski got the opening nod against Cincinnati at Lambeau Field…Also became the first Packers QB to throw three TD passes in his first career start since Anthony Dilweg posted the same number vs. the Los Angeles Rams on Sept. 9, 1990…Ap-peared in seven games in all during the regular season, also seeing significant time in Week 14 at Detroit after Rodgers sustained a concussion in the second quarter…Completed 40-of-66 passes (60.6 percent) for 433 yards, three TDs and two INTs for an 82.4 passer rating…Played in five games at QB in relief of Rodgers in 2009 after seeing ac-tion in three contests in his first season, as one of only six rookie quarterbacks in the NFL to throw a pass in 2008… Also served as team’s holder in separate stints from 2008-09…For his career, has completed 49-of-83 passes (59.0 percent) for 497 yards, three TDs and two INTs for a 73.2 rating…Offseason improvement in Head Coach Mike Mc-Carthy’s quarterback school helped him hold onto No. 2 job in 2009 despite very limited preseason action due to shoulder injury…Got the most extensive playing time to that point of his career in Week 16 vs. Seattle, playing the entire fourth quarter and completing 4-of-6 passes for 36 yards, including career-long 17-yarder to convert a third-and-12 and help set up a field goal…Entered rookie train-ing camp in ’08 as No. 3 quarterback behind Rodgers and fellow rookie Brian Brohm, but solid play throughout the preseason (27-of-42, 209 yards, 3 TDs, no INTs, 100.2 rat-ing) earned him the nod as the backup…Down 23-15 in preseason finale vs. Tennessee (Aug. 28), with 2:19 to go, led offense on 85-yard scoring drive that was capped off

with a 22-yard TD pass as time expired…On the drive, also scrambled for a 21-yard pickup, completed a 20-yard pass, and connected on a two-point conversion attempt to tie the game, but receiver was unable to get both feet in bounds as the Packers came up short…Made NFL debut in Week 4 at Tampa Bay in ‘08 when Rodgers left the game with a shoulder injury…Played two series against the Buccaneers and completed 2-of-5 passes for 6 yards, his only passing attempts of the season…Was drafted in the seventh round after he finished off his college career at LSU by leading the Tigers to the 2007 BCS National Championship over Ohio State and earned Offensive MVP honors in the game…Had backed up future NFL draft picks JaMarcus Russell and Matt Mauck during his first three years before getting his chance to start as a senior…Finished career with an 11-2 record as a starter for the Tigers…Despite serving as the starter for just one season, still managed to throw for 3,096 yards and 31 TDs during his career.

Nin the other three but not seeing any action…Vs. Minne-sota (Oct. 24): Threw a pass on a fake field goal from the Minnesota 37 in the second quarter. Quickly went from holder to a shotgun formation, and his long pass to TE Andrew Quarless appeared to be on target but went in-complete after Quarless stumbled en route to the ball…At Minnesota (Nov. 21): Entered the game in relief of Rod-gers 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 ca-reer to that point as he entered the game for Rodgers (con-cussion) 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 con-vert 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 Jen-nings 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, 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 mak-ing 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 second 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 remaining and the Packers leading 45-21. Handed the ball off five times on a drive that would result in a 32-yard Mason Crosby FG.

2009: Served as No. 2 QB for the second straight sea-son...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 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-yard completion…Vs. Minnesota (Nov. 1): Took final snap of the game and completed a 3-yard pass to TE Donald Lee…At Detroit (Nov. 26): Took final three offensive snaps, handing the ball off to RB Brandon Jackson each time…Vs. Seattle (Dec. 27): Saw most extensive action of career, 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 career-long 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…At Detroit (Sept. 14): Took first NFL snaps with two kneel downs to end 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. Com-pleted 2-of-5 passes for 6 yards. First career completion came on 3-yard pass to Jackson late in the fourth quar-ter...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 Packers’ first of two seventh-round draft choices (209th overall), and 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).

BRETT GOODE’S PRO GAMES PLAYED/STARTED

INSTANT REPLAY

For the 2011 season, the NFL will continue to employ a system of Referee Replay Review to aid officiating.

Prior to the two-minute warning of each half, a Coaches’ Challenge System will be in effect. After the two-minute warn-ing, and throughout any overtime period, a Referee Review will be initiated by a Replay Assistant from a Replay Booth.

The following procedures will be used:REVIEWS BY REFEREE: All Replay Reviews will be con-

ducted by the Referee on a field-level monitor after consultation with the other covering official(s), prior to review. A decision will be reversed only when the Referee has indisputable visual evidence available to him that warrants the change.

COACHES’ CHALLENGE: In each game, a team will be per-mitted two challenges that will initiate Referee Replay reviews, except for scoring plays, after the two-minute warning of each half, and throughout any overtime period. Each challenge will require the use of a team timeout. If a challenge is upheld, the timeout will be restored to the challenging team. If both challenges are upheld, a third challenge will be awarded to the challenging team. No challenges will be recognized from a team that has exhausted its timeouts.

REPLAY ASSISTANT’S REQUEST FOR REVIEW: After the two-minute warning of each half, and throughout any overtime period, any review will be initiated by a Replay Assistant.

There is no limit to the number of reviews that may be initi-ated by the Replay Assistant. His ability to initiate a review will be unrelated to the number of timeouts that either team has remaining, and no timeout will be charged for any review initi-ated by the Replay Assistant.

TIME LIMIT: Each review will be a maximum of 60 seconds in length, timed from when the Referee begins his review of the replay at the field-level monitor.

REVIEWABLE PLAYSThe Replay System will cover

the following play situations only:

A) PLAYS GOVERNED BY SIDELINE, GOAL LINE, END ZONE, END LINE, AND GOAL POSTS:

1. Scoring plays, including a runner breaking the plane of the goal line.

2. Pass complete/incomplete/intercepted at sideline, goal line, end zone and end line.

3. Runner/receiver in or out of bounds.4. Recovery of loose ball in or out of bounds.5. A field goal or try attempt when it is lower than the top of the uprights.

B) PASSING PLAYS:1. Pass ruled complete/incomplete/intercepted in the field of play.2. Touching of a forward pass by an ineligible receiver.3. Touching of a forward pass by a defensive player.4. Quarterback (Passer) forward pass or fumble.5. Illegal forward pass beyond line of scrimmage.6. Illegal forward pass after change of possession.7. Forward or backward pass thrown from behind line of scrimmage.

C) OTHER REVIEWABLE PLAYS:1. Runner ruled not down by defensive contact.2. Runner ruled down by defensive contact and there is a

recovery by defense.3. Forward progress with respect to first down.4. Touching of a kick.5. Number of players on the field.6. Recovery of loose ball in the field of play, including those

JOSH GORDY GAME-BY-GAME

The twin American flags above Lambeau Field enter their eighth season in 2011. 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 then-Packers 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.

the 2010 season opener at Philadelphia, which ended a streak of 48 consecutive games played (51 including playoffs).

• Topped 1,200 rushing yards in both 2008 and 2009, only the third back in team history to do so in consecutive years (Ahman Green, 2001-03; Jim Taylor, 1961-62) and one of only four backs in the NFL to do so those years (Adrian Peterson, Thomas Jones, Chris Johnson).

• Stepped in for an injured DeShawn Wynn (shoulder) in second quarter of ’07 Monday night game at Denver (Oct. 29), and over the next 2½ seasons compiled 3,385 rushing yards; No. 2 in the NFL over that span behind only Peterson.

• Has a career-long streak of 299 carries without a fumble, with his last fumble on a rushing play coming in the third quarter of the 2008 season finale vs. Detroit. His lone fumble in 2009 came on a pass reception (Week 2 vs. Cincinnati).

• Surpassed 3,000 yards rushing in just 41 games with the Pack-ers, the third fastest to do so in team history (Green, 37; John Brockington, 40), despite only rushing six times for 27 yards in his first five games with Green Bay.

• Set Packers’ playoff records with 201 yards on the ground and three rushing touchdowns in 42-20 NFC Divisional playoff win over Seattle (Jan. 12, 2008), after fumbling twice in the first minute-plus to help stake Seahawks to 14-0 lead.

• Acquired Sept. 1, 2007, from the N.Y. Giants in exchange for a sixth-round draft choice in 2008.

• A four-year letterman at Notre Dame, became the 13th run-ning back in school history to top the 2,000-yard mark.

CAREER: A virtual unknown when he was acquired by the Packers prior to the start of the 2007 regular season, had begun cementing his status as one of the most produc-tive backs in team history when a severe ankle injury in the 2010 opener at Philadelphia ended his season after just one game…The injury, which occurred when Grant was tackled awkwardly following an 18-yard gain in the second quarter, required surgery and landed him on injured reserve, ending his streak of 48 consecutive games played (51 including playoffs)…Had posted back-to-back 1,200-yard rushing seasons in 2008-09, only the third player in team history to do so (Ahman Green, 2001-03; Jim Taylor, 1961-62) and one of only four backs in the league to accomplish the feat over those two years along with Minnesota’s Adrian Peter-son, the New York Jets’ Thomas Jones and Tennessee’s Chris Johnson…With 3,457 career rushing yards, ranks ninth in team history and needs 255 yards to move past Paul Hornung (3,711) for No. 8; to crack the franchise’s top five, needs only 481 yards (No. 5 Dorsey Levens, 3,937)…Surpassed 3,000 yards rushing in just 41 games with the Packers, the third fastest to do so in team history (Green, 37; John Brockington, 40), despite only rushing six times for 27 yards in his first five games with Green Bay…Has a dozen 100-yard games in his time as the starter, which puts him fourth in franchise history, one away from tying Brockington for third…Followed up his 1,203-yard rushing season in 2008 with a 1,253-yard output in 2009, totals that rank eighth and sixth, respectively, on the team’s single-season list…Ranked third in the NFC and seventh in the NFL in rushing yards in ’09, adding a career-best 197 re-ceiving yards as well for 1,450 yards from scrimmage…His 11 rushing TDs in 2009 made him one of only four backs in team history with at least eight rushing TDs in two dif-ferent seasons (he also had eight in 2007), joining Taylor, Green and Hornung…Heading into 2011, carries a career-long streak of 299 rushes without a fumble, with his last fumble on a running play coming in the ’08 season finale vs. Detroit…That streak ranks second in the NFL among current ones behind only San Francisco’s Brian Westbrook (359)…His only fumble on any play over that stretch came on a pass reception (Week 2, 2009, vs. Cincinnati).

Straight-ahead runner with forward lean whose one-cut style clearly fit the offense’s zone-blocking scheme from the moment he stepped in as the feature back midway through ’07…From the time he took over in Week 8 at Den-ver in 2007 through the end of the ’09 season, rushed for 3,385 yards, the second-most in the NFL over that span be-hind only Peterson (3,814)…Maintained his consecutive-games streak despite a hamstring injury that slowed him down in the early stages of the ’08 season…Still became only the fourth player in team annals to top the 1,200-yard mark in a season, doing so that year on 312 attempts, the fourth-highest single-season total in team history...One of only five players in the NFL to post at least 300 rushes in ’08…Carried the ball slightly less in ’09 (282) and boosted his per-carry average by one-half yard, from 3.9 to 4.4…Still hasn’t matched his 5.1 yards per carry from ’07, when he took over for an injured DeShawn Wynn (shoulder) in

second quarter of Monday night game at Denver (Oct. 29), and went on to post the Packers’ first 100-yard rushing performance of the season and four more by the end of the regular season…Nearly eclipsed 1,000 yards, finishing with 956 and eight TDs on 188 attempts, in barely more than half a season as the primary ballcarrier…Authored tremendous performance in 42-20 NFC Divisional playoff win vs. Seattle (Jan. 12), setting Green Bay postseason records for rushing yards (201) and rushing TDs (three), all after fumbling twice in the first minute-plus of the game to help the Seahawks take an early 14-0 lead…Including playoffs, rushed for 1,159 yards and 11 TDs in the final 12 games of the season…His 929 yards from Week 8 through the end of regular season ranked second only to San Di-ego’s LaDainian Tomlinson (947) during that stretch…Deceptive breakaway speed also produced 11 runs of 20 yards or more in regular season, one every 17.1 attempts, the best rate in the NFL and well ahead of the runner-up, Minnesota’s Peterson, who had one every 18.3 carries…Acquired by the Packers in a trade with the New York Giants for a sixth-round draft choice on Sept. 1, 2007...Enjoyed a strong preseason in 2007 with the Giants, rushing for 90 yards on 18 carries (5.0 avg.), but was likely the odd man out in a crowded backfield…Missed all of 2006 rehabilitat-ing a severe hand injury, which occurred when he slipped on a wet floor and his left arm went through a glass table at a party…In addition to bleeding profusely, the injury af-fected the tendon, the ulnar nerve and an artery, causing

2010 SEASON: Started the season opener but suf-fered an ankle injury that required surgery, and was placed on injured reserve two days later…At Philadelphia (Sept. 12): Carried eight times for 45 yards (5.6 avg.), his final carry an 18-yard burst with 6:07 left in the sec-ond quarter. Tackled awkwardly, injuring his ankle, and did not take another snap on the season, ending a streak of 48 consecutive games played (51 including playoffs). Ran his streak of consecutive carries without a fumble to 299, dat-ing back to the ’08 season finale.

2009: Named a Pro Bowl alternate...Started all 16 games, plus the playoff contest, and led the team with a career-high 1,253 rushing yards and a career-best 11 TDs on 282 car-ries (4.4 avg.)...Ranked third in the NFC and seventh in the NFL in rushing yards...Also had 25 receptions for a career-high 197 yards (7.9 avg.)...Finished fourth in the NFC and ninth in the NFL in yards from scrimmage with 1,450…At St. Louis (Sept. 27): Rushed for 99 yards on 26 carries (3.8 avg.), including a 17-yard run and 50 yards total in the fourth quarter...At Minnesota (Oct. 5): Registered 51 yards on 11 carries (4.6 avg.) and a career-high 50 receiv-ing yards on four receptions, including two screen passes that picked up 13 and 20 yards, respectively…Vs.

Broke off a 37-yard run down the right sideline in the fourth quarter down to the Cleveland 5 that set up a James Jones TD reception on the next play. The big gain was his longest run since a 57-yarder in the ’08 season opener vs. Minnesota. Posted six runs of 8-plus yards, and 100 yards on 15 carries (6.7 avg.) in the second half, only the second time in his career that he went over 100 yards in a half (105 on 13 carries vs. Chicago, first half, Nov. 16, 2008)...Vs. San Francisco (Nov. 22): Picked up 129 yards rushing on 21 carries (6.1 avg.) along with a 1-yard TD early in the fourth quarter, moving past Eddie Lee Ivery for 11th place on team’s all-time rushing yardage list. His two runs of 20-plus yards were a season high. First one was a 26-yarder on opening drive to help set up a Mason Crosby FG. Second one came on final drive of the game as the Packers were looking to run out the clock with a 30-24

lead; on first down from the Green Bay 20, was stopped on run up the middle at the line, but bounced it outside to the left for a 21-yard gain…At Chicago (Dec. 13): Rushed for 137 yards and two TDs on 20 carries, a 6.9-yard average that ranks as his career high for a game with 20 carries or more, and the two TDs matched his career best (at Dal-las, Nov. 29, 2007). Scored on the Packers’ first offensive play, finding a hole on the left side and taking the ball 62 yards for the TD as he outran CB Charles Tillman. The score was his longest run since a 66-yard TD at Chicago (Dec. 23, 2007), and it was the first time the Packers had scored on their opening play since Antonio Freeman’s 80-yard TD catch vs. San Francisco (Nov. 1, 1998). Hit the 1,000-yard mark for the season on his second carry of the afternoon, a 7-yard pickup, and moved into the No. 10 spot on the Packers’ career rushing list on his 17-yard run in the fourth quarter, surpassing Donny Anderson (3,165)…At Pitts-burgh (Dec. 20): Had a season-low eight carries for 37 yards (4.6 avg.) and a TD.

With just over five minutes remaining in the first half, broke off a 56-yard TD run up the middle, making S Deon Grant miss at the second level before taking it the rest of the way for the score. Also scored on a 3-yard run in the first quarter, diving for the pylon in the right corner of the end zone. On his final two carries of the afternoon, moved past his posi-tion coach, Edgar Bennett (3,353), for the No. 9 spot on the franchise’s all-time rushing list with a 5-yard gain, and then hit the 1,200-yard mark for a second straight season with a 3-yard gain on the last play of the third quarter…At Arizona (NFC Wild Card, Jan. 10): Carried the ball 11 times for 64 yards (5.8 avg.), including a 20-yard run off left tackle in the second quarter down to the Cardinals’ 7; Rodgers scored five plays later on 1-yard sneak. Added two receptions for 18 yards.

2008: Played in every game with 14 starts and led team with 1,203 yards on 312 carries (3.9 avg.) despite battling a hamstring injury early in the season…Became only the fourth player in franchise history to rush for 1,200 yards in a season, and posted four 100-yard rushing games…His 312 attempts rank fourth for a single season in team history, and he was one of only five players in the NFL to carry the ball 300 times in ’08…Ranked sixth in the NFC and ninth in the NFL in rushing yardage…Both of his non-starts, at Tennessee (Nov. 2) and at Minnesota (Nov. 9), came when team opened up with three WRs and two TEs…Vs. Minnesota (Sept. 8): Led the team with 92 rush-ing yards on just 12 carries (7.7 avg.), including a 57-yard run in the fourth quarter down to Minnesota’s 2-yard line. The run set up Rodgers’ QB sneak for a TD to give Green

BACK-TO-BACK 1,200-YARD SEASONS•After suffering an ankle injury just eight carries into the season opener, Ryan Grant was shelved for the remainder of the 2010

campaign. In the preceding 2008 and 2009 seasons, Grant joined Ahman Green (2001-03) and Jim Taylor (1961-62) as the only players in franchise history to eclipse the 1,200-yard rushing plateau in back-to-back years.

•The only other NFL players to post back-to-back 1,200-yard seasons in 2008-09 were Chris Johnson (TEN), Thomas Jones (NYJ) and Adrian Peterson (MIN).

•Faced with mounting injuries in the backfield, the Packers turned to Grant in Week 8 of 2007 at Denver. He responded with his first career 100-yard game and has been the team’s starter ever since. A look at the numbers across the league from Week 8 of 2007 through the end of the 2009 season:

Credited with a forced fumble on the play…Vs. Dallas (Nov. 7): His

With the Steelers backed up to their own 7-yard line late in the first quarter, bull-rushed LG Chris Kemoeatu into the backfield, disengaging from the block to slap the right arm of QB Ben Roethlisberger during his follow-through. The hit forced Roethlisberger to badly underthrow a go-route to WR Mike Wallace into the arms of S Nick Collins, who picked off the pass and weaved through Steelers defenders for a 37-yard TD return and a 14-0 lead.

THE USS GREEN BAYThe U.S. Navy on July 15, 2006, christened a 684-foot

warship, and dubbed it the USS Green Bay at a shipyard in the New Orleans area.

Constructed in Avondale, La., at a shipyard owned by Northrop Grumman, it is the second Navy vessel to be called the Green Bay, following a small gunboat that patrolled the seas during the Vietnam era.

The newest Green Bay, used to carry troops for rapid deploy-ment, launch and recovery, will become a significant part of the U.S. amphibious fleet.

Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Bart Starr appeared in a video that was played at the July 15, 2006 christening ceremony. And Nancy Croy, principal at Green Bay’s Lombardi Middle School — named after Starr’s legendary coach Vince Lombardi — traveled to attend the christening as part of the school’s relation-ship with the Navy.

Members of the Packers’ front office, including President and CEO Mark Murphy, toured the ship in November 2008 during the team’s road trip to New Orleans for a game against the Saints.

Commissioned Jan. 24, 2009, it can carry 360 Navy sailors and as many as 800 Marines. Assigned to the U.S. Pacific Fleet, the ship’s home port is at the naval base in San Diego, Calif.

From the Rule Book: “In the plane of each end line, there shall be a centrally placed horizontal crossbar 18 feet 6 inches in length, the top face of which is 10 feet above the ground. The goal is the vertical plane extending indefinitely above the crossbar and between the lines indicated by the outer edges of the goal posts. All goal posts will be the single-standard type, offset from the end line and bright gold in color. The uprights will extend 30 feet above the crossbar and will be no less than 3 inches and no more than 4 inches in diameter. An orange-colored ribbon 4 inches by 42 inches is to be attached to the top of each post.”

History: The NFL moved its goal posts from the goal line to the end line prior to the 1974 season. In 1966, the year after Don Chandler’s controversial field goal sent a Packers-Colts playoff game into overtime, the league raised the height of the goal posts to “a minimum 20 feet above the crossbar.”

Career record includes postseason games. From 1921-71, tie games were not included in winning percentage.

Did you know…Most historians credit the Packers as the first football team to film games and practice, something as important to today’s game as the ball itself. The routine, carried on by Vince Lombardi (above), first began in 1923, when Otto Stiller used a hand-powered camera to film games atop the Bellevue Park grandstand.

AT A GLANCE• Has either led the team or finished second in tackles in each

of his five seasons in Green Bay.

• Hasn’t missed a game in his career, playing in all 80 contests with 77 starts. The only two non-starts came in both Minneso-ta games in ’09 and the season opener in 2010 at Philadelphia when Packers opened in their nickel defense.

• Tied for No. 1 among NFL linebackers in 2010 with a career-high three interceptions, and is tied for No. 1 with five interceptions over the past two seasons.

• Led the team in tackles as a rookie in 2006 with 155, second 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 and earned a spot on the Pro Football Weekly/Pro Football Writers Association All-Rookie Team.

• First linebacker drafted in the top five of the NFL Draft since Washington chose LaVar Arrington No. 2 overall in 2000.

• 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 long 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.

All-American had declined the league’s invitation in order to share the moment with his friends and extended family in his native Ohio…That move was no surprise to those who knew him, because humility had defined Hawk since his days at Centerville (Ohio) High School, when he instructed his parents not to cheer for him and he never wore his high school varsity jackets to avoid coming across as “big-time”…In college, was always at his best in the Buckeyes’ biggest games…In just one game against eventual national champion Texas in 2005, induced QB Vince Young into two and nearly three turnovers with an interception, fumble re-covery, sack, and another forced fumble…Twice started in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl (2003, ’05 seasons) and each time earned the contest’s defensive MVP honors; also played as a reserve in the Fiesta Bowl, when Ohio State claimed the national championship for the 2002 season…Didn’t expect to be drafted by the Packers, but along with his family hoped Green Bay would be his destination because it most resem-bled his Midwest roots, a smaller town with ardent fans and outstanding tradition, like Columbus, Ohio.

2010 SEASON: Played in all 16 games for the fifth straight season, opening 15 contests at BLB…Led the team with 134 tackles (97 solo), the second-highest total of his career behind only his 155 stops as a rookie in ’06…Regis-tered 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

CAREER: Productive, assignment-sure defender enter-ing his sixth season, having played in all 80 games with 77 starts in his first five years following selection as a top-five draft pick…Has either led the team in tackles or finished second in each of his seasons in Green Bay…Has posted 626 tackles (444 solo), nine sacks, eight interceptions, 29 passes defensed, two forced fumbles and four fumble re-coveries during his career…Has registered 100-plus tackles in four of his five seasons in Green Bay…Joined G Daryn Colledge as the only Packers to play in every game from 2006-10…Was released by the team on March 2, 2011, but was quickly re-signed to a new contract the following day…Had one of his best seasons in 2010 as he took on a bigger role than in past years, serving as the lead communicator between the coaches and the huddle in the absence of LB Nick Barnett, who missed the final 12 games with a wrist injury…Served as the “Buck” linebacker in Dom Capers’ 3-4 scheme for the second straight season…With injuries to Barnett and veteran LB Brandon Chillar, rarely came off the field in 2010, even on passing downs…Led the team with 134 tackles (97 solo) and posted a career-high three inter-ceptions, which tied him for the NFL lead among lineback-ers…Was named a Pro Bowl alternate, but was credited with his first career selection because he would have been added to the all-star roster as an emergency replacement had the Packers not been preparing for Super Bowl XLV…Tied Keith Bulluck for the most INTs by a linebacker over the past two seasons with five…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 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…Also named the team’s Defensive Rookie of the Year…The first linebacker taken in the 2006 draft af-ter 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), joined LaVar Arrington (No. 2 overall, 2000) in an exclusive group…Followed the likes of Law-rence Taylor (1981), Derrick Thomas (1989), Junior Seau (1990) and Willie McGinest (1994) as one of only 27 line-backers drafted in the top five since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970…Despite fielding a few attractive offers to move from the No. 5 position, GM Ted Thompson kept the pick, and the player he had targeted with that selection from the begin-ning was still there…When Thompson (a former linebacker himself) drafted Hawk, unlike most of the other high-profile selections, the linebacker wasn’t dressed in a suit at Radio City Music Hall to shake hands and pose with Commissioner Paul Tagliabue on national television…Instead, the humble

JENNINGS

AT A GLANCE• One of just five receivers in team history to post three

consecutive 1,000-yard seasons and one of only four to catch 12 touchdown passes in two different years.

• Ranks in the top 10 in franchise history in receiving yards (10th, 5,222), receptions (t-9th, 322) and touchdown catches (t-8th, 40).

• Leads the NFL with 27 catches of 40-plus yards over the past four seasons, and his career 31.5-yard average per TD recep-tion ranks second among active players (min. 20 TD catches).

• His 3,670 receiving yards over the past three seasons and his 37 TD receptions over the past four years both rank fourth in the league over those spans.

• Has caught a pass in 74 of 75 games played for the Packers (81 of 82 including playoffs).

• Posted career highs in receptions (80) and receiving yards (1,292) in 2008 and nearly matched those totals in 2010 (76-1,265) as he earned his first Pro Bowl bid.

• Caught Brett Favre’s 400th, 420th and 421st TD passes in 2006-07 as the future Hall of Fame QB chased, matched and surpassed Dan Marino’s career record for TD passes.

• Led the nation in receptions per game (8.91) in his 2005 senior season at Western Michigan.

• Became the first Mid-American Conference player to earn league MVP and Offensive Player of the Year recognition in the same season since Randy Moss of Marshall did so in 1997.

• Attended the same high school (Kalamazoo Central) as N.Y. Yankees superstar Derek Jeter; joins Jeter and former NFL RB T.J. Duckett as three of the top athletes ever to come out of Kalamazoo, Mich.

CAREER: Sixth-year wideout whose accomplishments continue to put him among the elite in franchise history…This past season, earned his first Pro Bowl bid and became just the fifth player in team annals to post three consecu-tive 1,000-yard receiving seasons, joining James Lofton, Sterling Sharpe, Antonio Freeman and teammate Don-ald Driver…Showed how dominant a player he can be in 2010, compiling 761 receiving yards and eight touchdowns over a seven-game stretch after the passing game lost TE Jermichael Finley to a season-ending knee injury in Week 5…Went on to post 1,082 receiving yards from Week 6 through the end of the regular season, a 98.4-yards-per-game average that ranked No. 1 in the NFL over that span…Also caught 12 TD passes in a season for the second time, becoming just the fourth player in team history to do so, joining Sharpe, Freeman and Billy Howton…Continued to dominate in the postseason, catching 21 passes for 303 yards and two TDs, with the yardage total leading the league and ranking second in franchise history for a single postseason behind Freeman (308 yards, 1997)…The 21 catches are tied with WR Jordy Nelson (2010) for the most in team history in a single postseason…Has pushed his career postseason totals to 36 catches for 518 yards (14.4 avg.) and five TDs in seven games, with three 100-yard outputs…Now ranks in the top 10 in franchise history in every significant receiving category: his 5,222 yards are 10th, 360 yards from moving into eighth; his 322 receptions are tied for ninth with TE Paul Coffman, 29 away from mov-ing into seventh; and his 40 TD catches are tied for eighth with Boyd Dowler, four away from moving into seventh…Eclipsed 5,000 career yards in his 74th game, fourth fastest in team annals to do so behind Howton (67), Sharpe (72) and Lofton (73)…Among the most recognized big-play re-ceivers in the game today, his 27 catches of 40-plus yards over the past four years lead the NFL, while his 56 career receptions of 25-plus yards lead the league since 2006…Of his 40 career TD receptions, 16 have been at least 40 yards in length, and four are at least 80 yards, setting a franchise record and tying for most among active NFL players with Baltimore WR Lee Evans…His career average of 31.5 yards per touchdown catch ranks second in the NFL among ac-tive players (min. 20 TD receptions) behind Minnesota WR Bernard Berrian (34.0)…His 3,670 receiving yards over the past three seasons rank fourth in the league over that span behind Andre Johnson, Roddy White and Reggie Wayne, while his 37 touchdown catches over the past four sea-sons also rank fourth behind Randy Moss, Larry Fitzgerald and Terrell Owens…Has caught a pass in 74 of 75 games played with the Packers (81 of 82 including playoffs) and has 19 career 100-yard games (22 including playoffs).

Over the 2008-09 seasons, teamed with Driver to account for two of the five times the Packers have had a pair of 1,000-yard receivers in the same season…Prior to ’09, signed a contract extension with the Packers after posting career highs in catches (80) and receiving yards (1,292) in ’08 on his way to being named first alternate for the Pro Bowl…Became only the sixth WR in team history to catch 80 passes in a season...Enjoyed his breakout year in ’07,

when he hauled in 12 TD passes in just 13 games, with six of those scores coming from 40-plus yards, including one of the most memorable plays of the year, an 82-yard TD pass from Brett Favre on the first snap of overtime to win a Monday night game in Denver…In addition, posted the go-ahead TD on big plays late in the fourth quarter of games vs. San Diego and at Kansas City, caught a TD pass in five straight games (Weeks 11-15, the club’s longest streak of the decade), and had two TD grabs in his first playoff game, vs. Seattle in the NFC Divisional round…Over his first two seasons, caught Favre’s 400th, 420th and 421st TD passes as the Hall of Fame-bound QB chased, matched and surpassed Dan Marino’s all-time NFL record…Also on the receiving end of Aaron Rodgers’ first career TD pass, which came in 2007 at Dallas…A second-round draft pick in 2006 who made a strong first impression as a rookie, earning a starting job…Put up impressive first-year num-bers (45 catches, 632 yards, 3 TDs) to earn recognition on the Pro Football Weekly/Pro Football Writers Association All-Rookie team despite being slowed from the sixth game through the end of the year by an ankle injury…Was the second of two second-round draft choices by Green Bay in the ’06 draft (52nd overall), the Packers using a pick ob-tained in a draft-day trade-down of 16 spots with the Patri-ots…Was the fourth WR selected, behind Santonio Holmes (25th by Pittsburgh), Chad Jackson (36th by New England) and Sinorice Moss (44th by the N.Y. Giants)…Finished his

Western Michigan career ranked first in school history in receptions (238), TD catches (39) and all-purpose yards (5,093) while finishing second in career receiving yards (3,539), just 60 behind record-holder Steve Neal…Became just the 11th player in NCAA Division I history to record three career 1,000-yard receiving seasons (2003-05)…Burst onto the national scene with his record-breaking se-nior year, when he set school records for receptions (98), receiving yards (1,259) and receiving TDs (14-tie), along with leading the country in most receptions per game (8.91)…Also became the first Mid-American Conference player to garner league MVP and Offensive Player of the Year recognition in the same year since Randy Moss (Mar-shall, 1997)…Received All-America recognition as well…One of only five Western Michigan players to be drafted in the first two rounds, joining DB Louis Delmas (2009, second round, Lions), DE Jason Babin (2004, first round, Texans), LB John Offerdahl (1986, second round, Dolphins) and DL Bob Rowe (1967, second round, Cardinals)…Also was the first WR drafted in the first 100 seasons (1906-2005) of the WMU program.

2010 SEASON: In earning his first Pro Bowl bid, start-ed all 16 games and posted his third straight 1,000-yard season with 76 catches for 1,265 yards and 12 TDs…Tied for first in the NFC and second in the NFL in TD catches, ranked fourth in the league in yardage, and tallied a career-high five 100-yard games for a third straight year…Went on a torrid stretch over the last 11 games following Finley’s season-ending knee injury, hauling in 62 passes for 1,082 yards (17.5 avg.) and nine TDs; his average of 98.4 yards per game over that span led the league…Ranked 18th in the NFL in catches for the year, but his 16.6-yard average per catch ranked second in the league among players with 65 or more grabs…Added 21 receptions for 303 yards (14.4 avg.) and two TDs in the postseason, the yardage total lead-ing the league and ranking No. 2 in franchise history for a single postseason behind Freeman’s 308 yards in 1997…Joined teammate Nelson for the team’s single-playoff mark with 21 catches as they became the first WR teammate tandem in league history to each register 20 receptions in the same postseason…At Philadelphia (Sept. 12): Surpassed 4,000 career receiving yards with five catches for 82 yards (16.4 avg.), including a 32-yard TD and a spec-tacular, leaping one-handed grab for a 16-yard gain on a third down in the second quarter, leading to a Driver TD five plays later…Vs. Miami (Oct. 17): Posted six catches for 133 yards (22.2 avg.), including a career-long 86-yard TD in the first quarter (also a career-long for Rodgers), top-ping the 83-yard TD at Pittsburgh in ’09 (Dec. 20). Long TD was his fourth career of 80-plus yards, setting a fran-chise record. Also caught a 20-yard pass on fourth-and-7 on a late fourth-quarter drive that led to the tying TD with 13 seconds left…At Minnesota (Nov. 21): Earned NFC Offensive Player of the Week for his first career three-TD game, catching seven passes for 152 yards (21.7 avg.) and

joining Freeman and Javon Walker as the only players in club history to have at least seven catches, 150 receiving yards and three TDs in the same game. Outing marked his fifth straight game with at least six catches, the longest streak of his career and longest by a Green Bay player since Sharpe (12 games, 1993). TD receptions were 11, 46 and 22 yards, the first Packers player with three TD catches in a game since Walker (at Indianapolis, Sept. 26, 2004)…Vs. San Francisco (Dec. 5): Notched a third straight 100-yard game for the second time in his career (Weeks 2-4, 2008) with six catches for 122 yards (20.3 avg.) and two TDs, including two big plays – a 57-yard TD and a 48-yard catch-and-run to set up his own 1-yard TD…Vs. N.Y. Gi-ants (Dec. 26): Caught seven passes for 142 yards (20.3 avg.) for his fifth 100-yard game of the season and 19th career. Also went over 5,000 career receiving yards in his 74th game, the fourth fastest in team history to do so behind Howton (67), Sharpe (72) and Lofton (73), and teamed with Nelson (124 yards) to give the Packers their first pair of 100-yard receivers in the same game since Jennings and Driver vs. Detroit (Dec. 28, 2008). Followed a 33-yard grab by Driver with a 36-yard fingertip grab, fully outstretched, down to the 1-yard line to set up a TE Donald Lee TD for a 31-17 lead…Vs. Chicago (Jan. 2): Had a team-high 97 yards on four catches (24.3 avg.), highlighted by a 46-yard reception early in the fourth quarter to Chicago’s 1-yard line; Rodgers found TE Donald Lee on the next play for a 1-yard TD pass for what proved to be the game-winning points in the playoff berth-clinching win…At Atlanta (NFC Divisional, Jan. 15): Caught eight passes for 101 yards (12.7 avg.), rebounding from a fumble following his first reception of the game to catch five more passes for 58 yards in the first half, all on TD drives…At Chicago (NFC Championship, Jan. 23): Had eight catches for 130 yards, with five receptions of at least 20 yards to break his own team postseason record, including grabs of 22 and 26 yards on the first two plays from scrimmage to begin an 84-yard TD drive…Vs. Pittsburgh (Super Bowl XLV, Feb. 6): Became the third Packers player and 15th in league history to record multiple TD catches in a Super Bowl by hauling in scoring passes of 21 and 8 yards on his way to four receptions for 64 yards (16.0 avg.) in all. First TD came over the middle on a bullet throw from Rodgers, who threaded the pass between safeties Ryan Clark and Troy Polamalu, with Jennings taking a big hit from Polamalu at the goal line but hanging on. Second TD came on a short corner fade, a play Jennings had been saying on the side-line would be open. Perhaps his biggest catch came in the fourth quarter, on third-and-10 from the Green Bay 25 with the Packers leading just 28-25; barely got a step on CB Ike Taylor as he snatched a laser from Rodgers over the middle for 31 yards, helping set up a FG for the game’s final points.

2009: Played in all 16 games for the second straight year with 13 starts and led the team with 1,113 receiving yards on 68 catches (16.4 avg.)...Was tied for fourth on the team

Over the past four seasons, Greg Jennings has emerged as one of the NFL’s brightest young stars at receiver. His numbers in touchdowns, receiving yards and average yards per catch from 2007-10 all rank in the league’s top 10. His lower ranking in total receptions proves he is one of the game’s most dangerous “big-play” wideouts.

THE LAMBEAU LEAP

LeRoy Butler’s spontaneous gesture after scoring a 1993 touchdown has turned into the team’s most prominent modern tradition, emulated by many other NFL players. It also symbolizes the team’s unique relationship with its fans. No doubt, the initial Lambeau Leap will go down as one of the most memorable moments of Butler’s 12-year career.

Butler’s leap took place late in a frigid game vs. the Los Angeles Raiders, Dec. 26, 1993, at Lambeau Field. The touchdown gave the Packers a commanding fourth-quarter lead, en route to a 28-0 shutout that clinched a playoff berth, their first of six consecutive postseason trips.

Chronology of the play: • QB Vince Evans completes second-down

swing pass to RB Randy Jordan, who takes ball to Raiders’ 40-yard line.

• Butler forces fumble, recovered by Reggie White at Raiders’ 35.

• White returns ball 10 yards before lateraling to Butler, who covers the remaining 25 yards into the end zone and leaps into arms of fans in south bleachers.

• Friend and teammate since junior high of defensive end Tyson Jackson, who was drafted No. 3 overall by Kansas City in the 2009 NFL Draft.

CAREER: Big, bruising fullback will look to continue his development after appearing in 11 games with four starts in his second season…Caught three passes for 26 yards during the regular season and added five tackles on special teams…Also started two postseason contests…As a rookie in 2009, played in nine games as a reserve fullback behind veterans Korey Hall and John Kuhn…Used primarily as a lead blocker on running plays, touching the ball just twice with two receptions for 4 yards…Also played on special teams, but only sparingly…Selected by the Packers with their first of two fifth-round selections (145th overall, 11th running back) out of LSU, where he cleared the way for an 1,100-yard rusher each of his final two seasons, just the second time in school history that the Tigers had different running backs rush for 1,100 yards in consecutive sea-sons…Was a teammate of Packers quarterback Matt Flynn for three seasons with the Tigers, including their 2007 BCS National Championship year…Originally came to LSU as a highly recruited linebacker before moving to fullback prior to his sophomore season…Became the highest draft selec-tion the Packers used on a fullback since Najeh Davenport was chosen in the fourth round (No. 135 overall) in 2002.

2010 SEASON: Appeared in a career-high 11 games with four starts, also a career best…Caught three passes for 26 yards (8.7 avg.), also career highs…Registered a career-best five tackles on special teams…Appeared in three post-season contests with two starts, posting one reception for 3 yards…Inactive for five games during the regular season, three as a healthy scratch and for two (vs. Detroit, Oct. 3; at Washington, Oct. 10) with an injured glute…Also inactive for Super Bowl XLV vs. Pittsburgh (healthy scratch)…Vs.

SUPER BOWL XLV: MOST-WATCHED TELEVISION PROGRAM OF ALL TIME The Packers’ 31-25 defeat of the AFC’s Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV was historic for several reasons. For the franchise, it marked a fourth Super Bowl title and record 13th world championship. For the FOX television network, it marked a record outing for viewership. According to The Nielsen Company, Super Bowl XLV drew a total audience of 162.9 viewers nationally, making it the most-watched show in United States television history, and it wasn’t even close. That total surpassed the record from the previous year’s Indianapolis Colts-New Orleans Saints Super Bowl XLIV by approximately 9.5 million viewers. The game averaged 111 million viewers and was the fourth consecutive record-setting audience for the Super Bowl. In terms of total audience, Super Bowls account for the 20 most-watched programs in television history. A look at the top 5 most-watched television programs of all time:

T.J. LANG’S PRO GAMES PLAYED/STARTED

CAREER TRANSACTIONS•2009 Selected by Green Bay Packers in fourth round (109th overall) in ’09 Draft, April 26…Signed first contract, July 7.

The 2008 release of Leatherheads, starring George Clooney and Renee Zellweger, was inspired by the tales of Johnny “Blood” McNally, who spent seven seasons in Green Bay. A member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Johnny “Blood” led the Packers to four cham-pionships (1929, ’30, ’31 and ’36).

•Actor Matthew McConaughey’s father was drafted by the Packers. The team selected James (Jim) McConaughey, an end, out of the University of Houston in the 27th round (319th overall) of the ’53 draft. The elder McConaughey didn’t see action in a league game.•Alan Autry, who played Captain Bubba Skinner in the hit series In the Heat of the Night, also was drafted by Green Bay. GM/Head Coach Bart Starr drafted him in the 12th round (296th overall) of the 1975 draft. During training camp, Autry met director Robert Altman, who would give him a small part in the 1978 film Remember My Name. Autry’s legal name was Carlos Brown (including his 1975-76 Packers tenure) until 1981, when he changed it while filming Southern Comfort, after meeting his biological father. Autry now owns a production company, and produced and starred in his first full-length film, The Legend of Jake Kincaid.•The Packers were the subject of a 1937 MGM/UA movie, Pigskin Champions (left, Don Hutson and Arnie Herber collect autographs

from one of their “co-stars,” Pete Smith, while in Hollywood).•Brett Favre made a cameo in the comedy There’s Something About Mary (Cameron Diaz, Ben Stiller), as Mary’s mysterious boyfriend.•Gary Knafelc, Lambeau Field’s former P.A. announcer who also caught the game-winning touchdown in the stadium’s inaugural game, was an actor as well. Using the screen name Gary Kincaid, he had roles in Palm Springs Weekend (1963) among other films.•Ray Nitschke had roles in The Longest Yard (1974), starring Burt Reynolds, and Head (1968).•Offensive lineman Matt Willig appeared in all 16 games for the Packers during the 1998 season. Since his playing career ended in 2005, Willig has become a successful actor, having appeared in a number of popular televi-sion shows including Dexter, Chuck and Cold Case, and has also landed a handful of roles in various films. •Current Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings showed his versatility when he made a guest appearance on the CBS television series Criminal Minds in May 2010. Jennings’ brief speaking role saw him play a Behavioral Analysis Unit technician.

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 cancelled 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.

1962 Lambeau Field program feature, by Steve Boda Jr.Green Bay has always had that special somebody, either on the field

or in the background, offering inspiration or carrying on the tradition for the City of the Bay that is unique in the annals of professional sports.

And yet, the Packers came perilously close to being denied one of their most popular on-the-field performers. Instead of catching passes and acquiring immortality in Green Bay, Don Hutson might well have been relegated to obscurity in, of all places, Brooklyn.

By 1935, the Packers and Green Bay had fought side by side through one crisis after another, adversity and discouragement. A proud and determined community rallied time and again to save ITS football team

from the brink of disaster and forfeiture of a coveted franchise. Then came the formation of Green Bay Packers, Inc., and the Packers belonged to Green Bay and Green Bay belonged to the Packers.

It was also a time to reward the faithful Bayers by laying the foundation for an overdue championship. After sweeping to three titles in succession in 1929-30-31, the Packers had slipped from contention and the vaunted Bears were now the kingpins of the West.

In the early 1930s, Coach Earl L. (Curly) Lambeau found it necessary to replenish his forces as one by one, he, Verne Lewellen, Jug Earp, Lavvie Dilweg, Red Dunn, Tom Nash and other stalwarts wrote the final chapter on their active playing careers.

Lambeau was carefully grooming a hometown product to step on the firing line and resume the aerial attacks so brilliantly conducted through the years by the Packers coach himself, Lewellen and Dunn. He was Arnie Herber and his passing arm lacked nothing…except targets.

For years Lambeau was a familiar figure at the workouts of the Rose Bowl game participants and the December of 1934 found him at his favor-ite haunts in Pasadena. As he watched Alabama prepare for Stanford, his eyes were riveted on a lean and lanky Crimson Tide end.

Don Hutson was not merely fast, he was blinding fast. In addition to his combination of speed and agility, he had an uncanny ability to estimate the speed of a pass in flight, just the exact instant it was going to arrive at a given point. He could run in one direction with an opponent trailing him, while the pass he eventually was to receive was thrown in another; then,

like a flash he would turn and invariably get to the point where the ball and he were to arrive, and he caught by sure hands.

But landing this target for the accurate-throwing Herber was another matter.

Hutson frankly admitted to the Packers coach that John (Shipwreck) Kelly of the football Brooklyn Dodgers had approached him and he had a ten-tative agreement to sign with Kelly.

Both Lambeau and Kelly redoubled their efforts. Lambeau pointed out that Green Bay, with its emphasis on passing, was the place for Hutson in pro football. He stressed that Brooklyn, under Paul Schissler, relied on a ground attack, featuring power plays and that Hutson, at 185 pounds, would not fit in with the Dodgers’ pattern of play.

Hutson was unveiled in Green Bay on Sept. 22, 1935, taking a starting position at left end against the Bears. The visitors kicked off and Herber carried back to the 17. On the first play, Herber drifted back to pass. The Bears, familiar with previous Green Bay pass pat-terns, converged on the most likely receiver, Johnny Blood. The rookie left end was ignored.

Herber let go from the Packer 6 and Hutson pulled in the toss at midfield. Challenging him was the Bears’ fastest back, Beattie Feathers. Hutson sped on, eluded a futile, frantic lunge by Feathers, and crossed the goal for the game’s only touchdown.

HUTSON SETTLES ON THE BAY

On July 18, 1994, the Packers dedicated the Don Hutson Center, their state-of-the-art indoor practice facility across the street from Lambeau Field.

Second Packers Season

DIMITRINANCE

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, saying: “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 experience at Lambeau Field.

On the Packers’ final possession of regulation, had a 24-yard catch-and-run on third-and-10 and a 13-yard pickup the next play on a drive that culminated with a game-tying 1-yard QB sneak by Aaron Rodgers with 13 seconds re-maining to send the game into OT…At N.Y.

vert a third down. The catch helped set up Mason 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 career high in receptions with five for 61 yards (12.2 avg.), including a 10-yard bullet on fourth down from Rod-gers with 56 seconds remaining that tied the game at 17. Roamed in and out of coverage in the back of the end zone while Rodgers bought time with his feet. Got just enough separation from S Thomas DeCoud to haul in the pass on the left side of the end zone, getting both feet down before getting drilled out of bounds by DeCoud…Vs. N.Y. Giants (Dec. 26): Caught four passes for a career-high 124 yards (31.0 avg.), highlighted by a career-long 80-yard reception for a TD in the first quarter. Beat S Antrel Rolle down the middle of the field and streaked into the end zone. Set up another TD in the fourth quarter when he went up over CB Corey Webster to haul in a 38-yard pass to the Green Bay 1; RB John Kuhn scored on the next play…At Atlanta (NFC Divisional, Jan. 15): Started and posted eight receptions for 79 yards (9.9 avg.) and a TD. Four of the grabs came on third down to pick up first downs, including an 8-yard catch to the Atlanta 8 that converted a third-and-3. Punctu-ated that drive with a 6-yard TD reception…At Chicago (Jan. 23, NFC Championship): Started and had four catches for 67 yards (16.8 avg.). Had a 22-yard grab on the opening drive to put the ball at the Chicago 2; two plays later, Rodgers took it in on a bootleg for a 1-yard TD…Vs. Pittsburgh (Super Bowl XLV, Feb. 6): Led the team with nine receptions for 140 yards (15.6 avg.), career highs in both categories, and a TD. Became just the fourth receiver in Super Bowl history with nine-plus receptions for at least 140 yards and a TD, joining Sanders (XXII), Rice (Super Bowl XXIII and XXIX) and Branch (XXXVIII). The nine catches tied RB Edgar Bennett (at Dal., Jan. 16, 1994) and Freeman (vs. Den., Jan 25, 1998) for the most by a Packer in the postseason 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 post-season history. Scored his TD from 29 yards out on a third-and-1 on the offense’s second drive of the game when he ran a go route along the right sideline against CB Wiliam Gay. Used an outside release and then separated just enough to get past Gay, jumping up to haul the ball in at the 3-yard line before falling into the end zone for a 7-0 lead. His game-long 38-yard catch came on the first drive of the fourth quarter on third-and-10 from the Pittsburgh 40. Lined up wide right as the lone receiver in a four-WR set, and ran a deep in route against S Ryan Clark. Caught the ball at the 28 before cutting across the field and up the left sideline, evading defenders until being forced out of bounds at the 2 by S Troy Polamalu. Two plays later, Rodgers found Jen-nings for an 8-yard TD and a 28-17 lead.

2009: Played in 13 games and posted 22 receptions for 320 yards (14.5 avg.) and two TDs...Also returned 25 kickoffs for a 25.4-yard average and 17 punts for a 5.3-yard average...His kick-return average ranked sixth in the NFC and 11th in the NFL...Inactive at Cleveland (Oct. 25), vs. Minnesota (Nov. 1) and at Tampa Bay (Nov. 8) with knee injury sustained vs. Detroit (Oct. 18)…Vs. Chicago (Sept. 13): Handled kick- and punt-return duties with CB Will Black-mon sidelined due to an injury and posted 46-yard kick return on opening kickoff, bouncing it out to the left sideline to the Green Bay 49…At St. Louis (Sept. 27): Posted three receptions

for 46 yards (15.3 avg.), with all three catches going for first downs, including 24-yarder down the left sideline in the third quarter…At Minnesota (Oct. 5): Caught three passes for 47 yards (15.7 avg.), including a short pass over the middle in the fourth quarter that he took 33 yards for a TD…Vs. 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; injury sidelined him for the remainder of the game and the next three contests…Vs. Dallas (Nov. 15): Returned from knee injury and posted season-high four re-ceptions for 32 yards (8.0 avg.). Caught 7-yard pass in the flat early in the fourth quarter on third-and-6 at the Dallas 8; QB Aaron Rodgers scored on a sneak on the next play to put Green Bay up 10-0…Vs. San Francisco (Nov. 22): Caught three passes for 21 yards (7.0 avg.), including a 7-yard TD late in the first half on a hitch where he made CB Tarell Brown miss at the line…Vs. Baltimore (Dec. 7): Returned opening kickoff 38 yards out to the Green Bay 43 to help set up a 28-yard Mason Crosby FG…At Pitts-burgh (Dec. 20): Caught four passes for a career-high 71 yards (17.8 avg.). Made a nice adjustment to come back and catch a 27-yard pass down the right sideline with CB William Gay covering, then on the next play made a nice block down the field on CB Ike Taylor on RB Ryan Grant’s 24-yard TD run. Also had a 24-yard reception down the sideline late in the first half…Vs. Seattle (Dec. 27): With Matt Flynn at QB, drew 36-yard pass-interference penalty on CB Marcus Trufant in fourth quarter down to the Seattle 7 that set up a RB Ahman Green TD run two plays later…At Arizona (Jan. 3): Posted the longest 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 aver-age, highlighted by a career-long 54-yard return late in the

In Green Bay, where the local time is always 1963, the citizens worship their Packers with religious fervor, and Lambeau Field is their ageless cathedral. The benches are aluminum, the grass (when not iced over) is resplendent, and the fans are rabid but realistic without being rude. No wonder Packers players leap into the stands after scoring touchdowns. On a truly cold day you can feel the spirit of Vince Lombardi — even if you can’t feel your toes.

ALL-TIME PACKERS PLAYERS FROM UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON (39)

Like a college team, the Packers historically have drawn well from their own backyard, obtaining 39 players via “in-state recruiting” from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a 150-mile drive from Lambeau Field. In fact, only two other schools – Notre Dame (52) and Minnesota (44) – have produced more Packers players.

Following is a list of those who’ve played in a game for both the Wisconsin Badgers and Green Bay Packers:

RYAN PICKETT’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 responsibilities, popular-ized 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.

CAREER: Promising young tight end who had to take on a larger role than anticipated as a rookie when Jermi-chael Finley was lost for the season to a knee injury in the fifth game…Produced two 50-yard receiving games and finished his rookie season with 21 catches for 238 yards (11.3 avg.) and a TD, adding five catches for 46 yards in the postseason…Athletically, is viewed in the Finley mold; though not as big as his position mate, is seen as a potential downfield threat and a difficult matchup should he continue to develop…Left Penn State as the school’s all-time leader in receptions for a tight end, with 87, and as one of only three tight ends in school history to top 1,000 career receiving yards, with 1,146…Overcame some off-the-field issues early in his college career, nearly losing his scholarship prior to his junior season…Served a two-game suspension as a sophomore in 2007 for an underage drinking incident and then the following spring was involved in another drinking incident, including a DUI charge, that led to head coach Joe Paterno nearly dismissing him from the team…Went to Paterno’s house the night after the DUI charge to plead his case, vowing to give up drinking and change his lifestyle, and Paterno gave him another chance…Was taken with the first of Green Bay’s two fifth-round picks in 2010, the 154th over-all selection and the 11th tight end selected…Became the first Penn State player drafted by the Packers since 2001 (CB Bhawoh Jue, third round) and the first Penn State TE drafted in team history.

2010 SEASON: Played in 13 games with three starts and posted 21 receptions for 238 yards (11.3 avg.) and a TD, plus one special teams tackle…Added five catches for 46 yards (9.2 avg.) in the postseason, playing in all four games with one start…Inactive for the season’s first two games and also missed one game due to a shoulder injury (vs. Dallas, Week 9)…At Chicago (Sept. 27): Made his NFL debut, playing on special teams and on offense…Vs. Detroit (Oct. 3): Made his first career start as Pack-ers opened in two-TE set…At Washington (Oct. 10): Pressed into action after injuries to Finley and Donald Lee, had four catches for 51 yards (12.8 avg.), including two grabs of 9 and 21 yards on the final drive of regulation, setting up a late FG attempt…Vs. Miami (Oct. 17): Had a career-long 23-yard catch in the second quarter…Vs. Minnesota (Oct. 24): Caught two passes for 16 yards (8.0 avg.), including his first career TD, a juggling 9-yard catch in the back of the end zone…At N.Y. Jets (Oct. 31): Left the game with an injured shoulder and missed the following contest…At Minnesota (Nov. 21): Returned from shoulder injury and the bye week to make one key catch, a 14-yarder with 38 seconds left in the second quarter on a TD drive just before halftime that extended Green Bay’s lead to 17-3…At Atlanta (Nov. 28): Started and had three catches for 35 yards (11.7 avg.), including two catches for 11 and 19 yards on the 16-play, 90-yard drive that tied the game late in the fourth quarter…At Detroit (Dec. 12): Bounced back from an early fumble after a 12-yard reception to lead the team with career highs of five catches and 62 yards (12.4 avg.), including grabs of 20 and 11 yards from QB

Matt Flynn on the opening drive of the second half for a FG. Yardage total was the most for a Green Bay rookie TE since Ron Kramer’s 68 yards at Detroit on Nov. 27, 1958…At New England (Dec. 19): Drew a 15-yard unnecessary-roughness penalty on a helmet-to-helmet hit from Patriots CB Devin McCourty and rebounded to catch a 10-yard pass three plays later, leading to a TD…At Philadelphia (NFC Wild Card, Jan. 9): Caught two passes for 27 yards (13.5 avg.), his postseason highs, including a 15-yarder on the Packers’ first play from scrimmage…2010 Draft: Selected with the first of Green Bay’s two fifth-round picks, 154th overall and the 11th TE…Became the first Penn State player drafted by the Packers since 2001 (Jue, third round) and the first Penn State TE drafted in team history. COLLEGE: Finished his career as Penn State’s all-time leader in receptions among tight ends…In 49 career games, including 29 starts, caught 87 passes to break the previous school record for a TE held by Ted Kwalick (1966-68)…Totaled 1,146 yards for a 13.2-yard average and eight TDs…His yardage total makes him one of only three TEs in school history to top 1,000 career receiv-ing yards, and he ranks second in school history behind Kwalick’s 1,343…He also fell two TDs short of Kwalick’s career mark of 10…Graduated in December 2009 with a degree in telecommunications…Senior season (2009): Concluded his collegiate career with by far his best year, nearly doubling his career totals for both re-ceptions and yards coming in…Won the starting job and started all 13 games, catching 41 passes for 536 yards (13.1 avg.) and three TDs for the Big Ten’s second-ranked offense…Was the only Penn State player to catch a pass in every game and caught at least three passes in eight contests…Earned honorable mention All-Big Ten and was named to the John Mackey Award midseason watch list…His 41 catches broke the school’s single-season re-cord for a TE held by Tony Stewart (38 in 2000) and his 536 yards were the most by a Penn State TE since 1977 (Mickey Shuler Sr., 600)…Was a standout during East-West Shrine Game practices and caught the winning TD

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.

sprained right shoulder suffered in Week 4 at Tampa Bay…Was limited for several weeks in practice because of the in-jury but never missed a start, taking more than 99 percent of the team’s snaps on the season…Secured his position as one of the team leaders for years to come when he signed a long-term contract extension with the Packers on Oct. 31, 2008…Spent his first three seasons learning under Favre as his backup while continuing to grow as a leader in his own right, particularly during the team’s offseason program…Participated in Mike McCarthy’s offseason QB school three consecutive years while handling his share of reps leading the No. 1 offense during OTAs and other workouts…Posted his most noteworthy performance to that point in relief of Favre in ’07, in a showdown of two 10-1 teams in Dallas that saw Favre knocked out of the game with shoulder and elbow injuries…With Packers trailing 27-10, Rodgers directed two touchdown drives to pull the Packers within three points early in the fourth quarter, finishing with noteworthy num-bers (18-of-26, 201 yards, one TD, no INTs, 104.8 rating) despite the 37-27 defeat…Rated by Packers personnel as one of the top players in the 2005 NFL Draft, slipped all the way to Green Bay’s No. 24 slot…Was the second quarter-back taken after Alex Smith (49ers) at No. 1…Was the eighth quarterback drafted by the Packers in the first round and the first since Rich Campbell, also from the University of Califor-nia, was selected in 1981; became just the second player from Cal (joining Campbell) taken by Green Bay in the first round as well…Passed on his final year of eligibility and was considered one of the top quarterback prospects in the country with numerous football observers rating him as the No. 1 pick in the draft…Was a two-year starter (2003-04) for Cal after playing the 2002 season at Butte College, a junior college near Chico, Calif. …Finished 17-5 as the Bears’ field general, leading the school in 2004 to its best season in more than a half century in just his second campaign at the Division I level…Rodgers’ journey to the pros is a compel-ling story, beginning with scant Division I recruitment after two highly successful prep seasons; he was perhaps not big enough or located in an area not often recruited by the big schools…He opted to enroll at nearby Butte College and promptly led the Roadrunners to a 10-1 record and a No. 2 national JUCO ranking…Along came Cal coach Jeff Tedford, who 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, Ted-ford offered Rodgers a scholarship and launched the begin-ning of two immensely successful seasons…Was a major component of a 2004 Cal campaign that saw 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…Took over as the starter in the fifth game of the 2003 season and went on to fire 43 touchdowns with only 13 interceptions over the course of his career and finish with a 150.27 career passing efficiency mark, the best in school history…Authored 10 career passing games of 250-plus yards.

2010 SEASON: Started 15 contests, missing one game with a concussion, and was named a first alternate for the Pro Bowl…Completed 312-of-475 passes (65.7 percent) for 3,922 yards, 28 TDs and 11 INTs for a 101.2 rating as he became the first QB in franchise history to post a 100-plus passer rating in back-to-back seasons…The rating ranks third in team annals behind only Starr’s mark of 105.0 in 1966 and his own mark of 103.2 in ’09…Ranked third in the NFL in passer rating, seventh in yards, tied for sixth in TDs and second in 25-yard passes (40)…Was named FedEx Air NFL Player of the Year and NFC Offensive Player of the Month for December/January and twice earned NFC Offen-sive Player of the Week honors (Weeks 13 and 16)…Fin-ished third among NFL QBs with a career-high 356 rushing yards on 64 carries (5.6 avg.), the most by a Green Bay sig-nal-caller since Don Majkowski posted 358 in 1989…Tied for the team lead with four rushing TDs, his third straight campaign with four-plus rushing TDs as he became the first Packers QB since Rote (1954-56) to do so…Ranked No. 1 in the NFL (min. 100 attempts) with a 104.5 passer rating against the blitz, completing 111-of-167 attempts (66.5 per-cent) for 1,503 yards and 11 TDs with five INTs…Registered a 110-plus passer rating in four consecutive games (Week 9, Weeks 11-13) to become the first NFL QB since the 1970 merger to post four straight 110-plus rating games in back-to-back seasons (Weeks 3-4, 6-7 in 2009)…Spread the ball around, with Greg Jennings (76), Donald Driver (51) and James Jones (50) becoming the first wide-receiver trio in team history to each catch 50 passes in the same season…Posted a 109.8 passer rating in four postseason contests, completing 90-of-132 passes (68.2 percent) for 1,094 yards and nine TDs with two INTs…The yardage total ranks second in NFL history for a single postseason behind only Warner (1,147 in 2008), while the TD total is tied for No. 3 in league annals behind only Montana (1989) and Warner (2008), who each threw 11 TDs…Vs. Detroit (Oct. 3): Connected on 12-of-17 passes for 181 yards and three TDs with a pair of INTs for a 105.3 rating. For the second time in his career, posted a perfect 158.3 passer rating in the first half (at Cleveland, Oct. 25, 2009) as he completed 8-of-9 attempts for 131 yards and three scores…At Washington (Oct. 10): Had 27 completions on a season-high 46 attempts for 293 yards and a TD with one INT. Sustained a concussion on the Packers’ final play from scrimmage in OT while being hit

RODGERS

Now firmly entrenched in his role as the face of the franchise, QB Aaron Rodgers has gone from solid first-year starter to Pro Bowl starter to Super Bowl MVP and is widely regarded as one of the game’s top signal callers. • For his career, he has completed 1,038-of-1,611 passes (64.4 percent) for 12,723 yards and 87 touchdowns against only 32 inter-

ceptions for a 98.4 passer rating. The rating ranks No. 1 in NFL history for the regular season (min. 1,500 attempts).• Rodgers became the first player in NFL history to post 4,000 yards passing in each of his first two seasons as a starter and fell just

shy of the mark in 2010 with 3,922 yards. His three-year total of 12,394 ranks No. 2 in league history by a quarterback in his first three seasons as a starter behind only Kurt Warner’s 12,612 yards from 1999-2001.

• He took care of the ball again in his third season as the starter, throwing only 11 interceptions in 475 attempts. His career intercep-tion percentage of 2.0 ranks No. 1 in NFL history among QBs with more than 1,500 attempts.

• Although seemingly difficult to envision from a statistical standpoint, Rodgers in fact elevated his play during the team’s march through the 2010 postseason. His 1,094 passing yards in the four playoff games was the second-highest total in league history behind Warner’s 1,147 in 2008 and his nine TD passes ranked third for a single postseason.

• Rodgers threw three TD passes in both the 2010 Wild Card and Divisional playoff contests, which followed up his four-TD effort the previous year in the 2009 Wild Card playoffs. Those efforts made him the first QB in NFL postseason history to throw for three-plus TDs in his first three playoff starts.

• Additionally, Rodgers posted ratings of 121.4, 122.5 and 136.8 in those games, becoming the first player in NFL posteseason his-tory to register 120-plus passer ratings in each of his first three playoff starts. Even more impressively, no quarterback has ever eclipsed the 120-rating plateau in even his first two playoff starts.

by DE Jeremy Jarmon on a throw that was picked off by S LaRon Landry at the Green Bay 39; the turn-over led to Washington’s game-win-ning FG…Vs. Miami (Oct. 17): Missed some practice time during the week due to the concussion, but returned to make his 38th straight start. Finished with 313 yards on 18-of-33 passing with a TD and an INT. Threw a career-long 86-yard TD pass to Jennings late in the first quarter, the longest completion by a Green Bay QB since Favre’s 99-yard scoring strike to WR Robert Brooks at Chi-cago on Sept. 11, 1995. On the final possession of regulation, engineered a 69-yard drive that he capped off with a sneak up the middle on fourth-and-goal from the 1 to send the game into OT…Vs. Dallas (Nov. 7): Registered a 131.5 passer rating on 27-of-34 passing for 289 yards and three TDs. Also rushed for 41 yards on five carries (8.2 avg.), including a season-long 27-yard run on the Packers’ first TD drive. Completed 16-of-18 passes to six different receivers for 174 yards and a pair of TDs in the first half as Green Bay built a 28-7 lead…At Min-nesota (Nov. 21): Threw a regular-season career-high four TD passes, connecting on 22-of-31 passes for 301 yards for a season-high 141.3 passer rating. Three of his scoring throws went to Jennings, while he added a 3-yard TD pass to Jones with five seconds left in the first half…At Atlanta (Nov. 28): Completed 26-of-35 attempts for 344 yards and a TD while adding a season-high 51 rushing yards and a TD on a career-high 12 carries. Completed passes to eight dif-ferent receivers, with Jennings, Jones and WR Jordy Nelson each posting five grabs. Engineered a 16-play, 90-yard drive late in the fourth quarter to tie the game at 17, operating out of the no-huddle for most of the drive. Found Jones for an 18-yard gain on a shovel pass to convert a fourth-and-1, and four plays later, found Nelson with a 10-yard bullet in the corner of the end zone to even the score…Vs. San Fran-cisco (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. It was his fourth straight contest with a 110-plus passer rating as he became the first NFL QB since the 1970 merger to accomplish that feat in consecutive seasons. 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 over 55 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 that saw the veteran WR break several tackles on his way to the end zone…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 Matt 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. Min-nesota in Week 7, a streak of 181 passes 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 hon-ors. Threw for a regular-season career-high 404 yards on 25-of-37 passing while matching his career high with four TD passes. His yardage 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 career 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). Big play was an 80-yard TD pass to Nelson in the second quarter as he be-came the first Packers QB to throw 80-yard TDs to two dif-ferent players in a season since Starr in ’66…At Philadel-phia (NFC Wild Card, Jan. 9): Led the Packers to his first postseason win with an efficient 18-of-27 outing for 180 yards and three TDs (122.5 rating). With seven TD passes in his first two postseason starts (four in ’09 Wild Card game at Arizona), set an NFL record, topping the previous mark of six TDs held by five other QBs…At Atlanta (NFC Division-al, 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 at-tempts. 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. Scored on a 7-yard TD run and con-sistently avoided pressure to throw with accuracy outside the pocket. Became the first QB in NFL playoff history to throw for 350 yards, three TDs, zero INTs and rush for a TD in a game. Jennings, Nelson, Driver and Jones all had at least 75 yards receiving, the first foursome in NFL postseason his-tory to do so. Completed all 10 of his third-down passing attempts for 151 yards. Helped lead the Packers to a fran-chise 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 history to record 45 points in a game in consecutive postseasons. Those two games are the highest-scoring performances in team playoff annals. His three TD passes gave him 10 in his first three postseason starts, the most in NFL history as he surpassed George, 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 postsea-son history to throw for three-plus TDs in each of his first three playoff starts…At Chicago (NFC Championship, Jan. 23): Completed 17-of-30 passes for 244 yards, includ-ing seven completions of 20-plus yards. Rushed for 39 yards on seven carries (5.6 avg.), including a 1-yard TD on a boot-leg run on the opening series. Was picked off twice in the contest, but made one of the key plays in the game following one of the INTs. Was intercepted by LB Brian Urlacher on third-and-goal at the Chicago 6 in the third quarter, but tripped up Urlacher, who otherwise had an open field, with a sliding tackle after a 39-yard return. Green Bay’s defense would force a punt three plays later…Vs. Pittsburgh (Su-per Bowl XLV, Feb. 6): Closed out his torrid postseason by earning Super Bowl MVP honors with a masterful perfor-mance in the world cha mpionship 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 in a Super Bowl. First TD pass came on a perfectly placed throw to Nelson for a 29-yard score. Thread-ed 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, forc-ing Pittsburgh to drive for a TD instead of a game-tying FG.

2009 SEASON: Selected to the Pro Bowl for the first time in his career...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 and second in team history behind Starr’s 105.0 in 1966...Ranked fourth in the league in passing yards, fourth in TD passes and first in INT percentage (1.29), the latter mark second in team history to Starr’s 1.20 in ’66 as Rodgers posted 12 games without an INT to break 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 sea-sons 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 Tony Romo) with 17 completions of 40-plus yards...Was tied for second in the league (with Romo and Drew Brees) with 39 completions of 25-plus yards, trailing only Eli Manning’s 42...Rushed for 316 yards and five TDs on 58 carries (5.4 avg.), the second-most yards by any QB in 2009 (David Gar-rard, 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, seven or fewer INTs, and rush for five TDs in the same season…Earned NFC Offensive Player of the Month honors for October…Vs. Chicago (Sept. 13): Completed 17-of-28 passes for 184 yards, with his lone TD a game-winning 50-yarder to Jennings on a post route with just over a minute remaining…Vs. Cincinnati (Sept. 20): Along with 261 yards on 21-of-39 passing, rushed for 43 yards on four carries, including three runs of 10-plus yards.

His 43 yards were the most by a Packers QB since Favre posted 49 on the ground on Dec. 20, 1998, vs. Tennessee…At St. Louis (Sept. 27): Completed 13-of-23 passes for 269 yards, two TDs (plus a rushing TD) and no INTs for a 126.9 rating, the third-highest rating of his career. Posted three completions of 40-plus yards, a 46-yarder to Driver and passes of 50 and 53 yards to Jennings. Added 38 rush-ing yards to become first Packers QB since Majkowski (Sept. 23-Sept. 30, 1990) to rush for 35-plus yards in consecutive games...At Minnesota (Oct. 5): Threw for a regular-sea-son career-high 384 yards on 26-of-37 passing for a 110.6 rating. Connected with TE Jermichael Finley on a 62-yard TD pass in the first quarter and on a 33-yard TD with Nelson in the fourth. Was intercepted for the first time on the season when CB Antoine Winfield picked off his pass intended for Jennings on the right sideline at the Minnesota 23 early in the second quarter; the INT snapped a 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 (min. 35 attempts), trailing only Favre’s 79.5 percent on 31-of-39 passing 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 rating in franchise history (min. 20 attempts). TDs went to TE Spencer Havner (45 yards), Driver (71 yards) and Jones (5 yards), and his fourth straight game with a 110.0-plus passer rating made him only the second QB in team history to accomplish the feat in the same season (Starr, Sept. 18-Oct. 9, 1966)…Vs. Minnesota (Nov. 1): Connected on 26-of-41 attempts for 287 yards, three TDs (two to Havner, one to Jennings) and no INTs for a 108.5 rating.

Arizona (Jan. 3): Threw for 235 yards and a TD on 21-of-26 passing in three quarters of play. His 80.8 completion percentage was a career high for a game with 25 or more at-tempts...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 is tied for No. 5 in NFL playoff history, and his 319 yards passing after halftime set an NFL playoff record, eclipsing the previous mark of 274 yards set by Miami’s Dan Marino (at Buffalo, Dec. 30, 1995). Became one of only six QBs in the Super Bowl era to throw for 400 yards/4 TDs in a postseason game, and one of only two signal callers to post 400 yards/4 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 30-yarder to Jones on fourth-and-5 early in the fourth quarter…Pro Bowl (Jan. 31): Started for the NFC and completed 15-of-19 passes for 197 yards with two TDs and no INTs for 145.0 rating.

2008: Becoming the first QB other than Favre to start a Packers game since Majkowski (Sept. 20, 1992), started all 16 games and ranked third in the NFC and sixth in the NFL with a 93.8 passer rating…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 (Favre, 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)…Third in the NFL with a 105.8 passer rating on third down, including 14 TDs, which trailed only Philip Rivers’ 15…Completed 16 passes of 40-plus yards, tied for first in the NFL with Drew 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 first NFL game and completed 18-of-22 passes for 178 yards and a TD with no INTs. His 81.8 completion percentage ranks as the second-best mark in league history

by a QB in his first start (min. 20 attempts), behind only former Jack-sonville QB Rob Johnson’s 83.3 per-centage (20-of-24) in 1997. Scored first career rushing TD on 1-yard plunge in the fourth quarter to give Green Bay a 24-12 lead…At De-troit (Sept. 14): Posted first 300-yard passing day in NFL and threw three TD passes. Connected on 24-of-38 passes for 328 yards…At Tampa Bay (Sept. 28): Sprained his right shoulder in third quarter on 7-yard scramble as he dove to ex-tend the ball for a first down. On next series, hit Jennings for a 48-yard TD pass, but then sat out the following 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

fourth-longest streak in team history…Vs. Atlanta (Oct. 5): Started despite being limited all week in practice as he recovered from sprained right shoulder. Recorded the sec-ond 300-yard passing game of his pro career as he con-nected on 25-of-37 passes for 313 yards and three TDs …At Tennessee (Nov. 2): Completed 22-of-41 passes for 314 yards, one TD and one INT, the third 300-yard passing game of his career. Connected on a career-high six passes of 20-plus yards…Vs. Carolina (Nov. 30): Connected on 29-of-45 passes for 298 yards and three TDs. Completed passes to nine different players, which tied a season high…Vs. Detroit (Dec. 28): Completed 21-of-31 passes for 308 yards and three TDs for a season-high 132.2 passer rating, and matched season best with 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, 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, complet-ing 37-of-59 passes (62.7 percent) with three TDs in four appearances…Vs.

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.

CAREER: Speedster who made a major impact as a non-drafted rookie, earning the defense’s nickel cornerback job despite playing the position only one year in college…With the exception of two missed games due to injury, held the nickel job throughout the regular season and playoffs, re-cording 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 blaz-ing speed that made him a productive receiver and special teamer his first three seasons at Miami…Made the transi-tion to cornerback as a senior and progressed 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…Was awarded with Miami’s Most Im-proved 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 Reggie Wayne nine years prior.

2010 SEASON: Played in 14 games with six starts, missing two early-season games with a calf injury…Also played in all four postseason games with two starts…In the regular season, posted 27 tackles (22 solo) with two INTs and nine passes defensed, and returned 21 kickoffs for 452 yards (21.5 avg.) with a long of 49…Added 13 tackles (eight solo) with two INTs, one sack a forced fumble and five passes defensed in the playoffs…At Philadelphia (Sept. 12): Started in first NFL game at nickel CB and teamed with S Morgan Burnett to become the first Pack-ers rookie DB tandem to open the season since the 1970 AFL/NFL merger…Vs. Miami (Oct. 17): Returned to the lineup after missing previous two games with a calf injury and had four tackles (three solo) and a pass defensed…Vs. Dallas (Nov. 7): Notched his first INT with a leaping, one-handed grab of QB Jon Kitna’s deep sideline throw intended for WR Miles Austin. Also took over as kickoff returner to open the second half and posted a season-long 49-yard re-turn, starting from 6 yards deep in the end zone…At New England (Dec. 19): Had a 45-yard kickoff return among six attempts for 128 yards total (21.3 avg.)…At Philadel-phia (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 Champion-ship, 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 QB Jay 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 leaping pick on Cutler’s deep ball to W R Johnny Knox just before halftime, keeping the Bears score-less 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 sus-tained 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.

COLLEGE: Four-year letterman for the Hurricanes who played his first three seasons at WR before moving to CB for his senior campaign…Also showed his talents as a re-turn man and special-teams player…Caught 75 passes for 971 yards (12.9 avg.) and seven TDs as a receiver in his career…Earned his degree in liberal arts and ran track one year, as a sophomore…Senior season (2009): Started 10 of 12 games at CB and ranked sixth on the team with 41 tackles…Registered six tackles in win vs. Georgia Tech (Sept 17)…Posted career-high seven tackles, a fumble recovery and a forced fumble at Wake Forest (Oct. 31)…Had an 84-yard kickoff return vs. Wisconsin (Dec. 29) in the Champs Sports Bowl that set up Miami’s first TD…Was awarded the Nick Chickillo Most Improved Player Award at the team’s annual awards banquet…Junior season (2008): Played in all 13 games as either a WR or a gunner on special teams…Voted UM’s Special Teams Player of the Year…Posted 11 receptions for 124 yards (11.3 avg.)…Made a season-high three catches for 32 yards at Virginia (Nov. 1), including a crucial third-down catch for 13 yards that kept Miami’s game-tying 95-yard drive alive in the OT win…Sophomore season (2007): Started five of the 10 games he played in, posting 27 receptions for 346 yards (12.8 avg.) and three TDs…Posted career-high 117 receiv-ing yards on six catches, including a 51-yard grab, vs. Texas A&M (Sept. 20)…Led the team with five receptions for 80 yards and a TD at North Carolina (Oct. 6)…Hauled in a team-best six receptions for 81 yards at Virginia Tech (Nov. 17)…Freshman season (2006): Played in all 13 games with seven starts as a true freshman in 2006…Named honorable mention Freshman All-America by Sport-ing News…Posted 37 receptions (third on the team) for 501 yards (second) and four TDs (tied for team lead)…His 37 catches were the most by a Miami true freshman since Reggie Wayne caught 48 passes in 1997…Made his first start in a three-WR formation at Louisville (Sept. 16) and

Washington (Oct. 10): Blocked for team’s season-high 157 yards on just 17 carries (9.2 avg.), the first time in franchise history that the Packers rushed for more than 150 yards on fewer than 20 attempts in a regular-season game. On the first play of the team’s

second possession, teamed with RT Bryan Bulaga to block DE Adam Carriker, sealing off the left side of the defen-sive front to provide a crease for RB Brandon Jackson to break a career-long 71 yard run. The run was the longest by a Green Bay RB since DeShawn Wynn’s 73-yard TD vs. Detroit (Dec. 28, 2008)…At Minnesota (Nov. 21): Helped the offense put up 31 points and 20 first downs.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS •Franchised Market — Television market (ADI or DMA) that has an NFL franchise (i.e., Buffalo, N.Y., or Phoenix, Ariz.). •Secondary Blackout Market — Television market in the home territory (with station(s) having signal penetration to within 75 miles of the game site) of an NFL franchise that is subject to blackout restrictions. •Early Game — Game with kickoff at 12:02 p.m. CT.•Late Game — Game with kickoff at 3:05 or 3:15 p.m. CT.

BLACKOUT POLICYTo ensure an NFL club’s ability to sell all of its game tickets, and to make televised games more attractive to viewers through the presence of sellout crowds, the following policy is observed by the NFL:

For a home game to be aired locally in the franchised market and in any secondary blackout market(s), the game must be sold out 72 hours in advance of kickoff. If the game is not a sellout by the 72-hour cutoff, both the home franchised market and the secondary markets of the carrying network will air an alternate game.

NUMBER OF GAMES IN A MARKETWith regard to the number of NFL games seen in a particular market on a Sunday afternoon, there are three situations. •An NFL franchised market (i.e., New York, Chicago, Dallas, etc.) — On a week when the NFL team (or teams) in a market is on

the ROAD Sunday, Monday or Thursday night, or Saturday afternoon, the market will receive three Sunday afternoon games: Two telecasts by the network with the doubleheader week and one game by the network with the single-game week. When an NFL team in the market is playing at HOME on Sunday afternoon, the market will receive two games: One game on FOX and one game on CBS, regardless of which network has the doubleheader week. That is, unless 1) the home team’s assigned telecaster that day (CBS or FOX) also is on the doubleheader network and 2) the game is sold out 72 hours in advance. In that case, the three games would be the home team’s and two other games in the remaining early or late window.•All other television markets (including secondary blackout markets) — Network affiliates in these markets will receive three games on Sunday afternoon, two on the doubleheader network (one early and one late) and one game on the single-game network (either early or late).

SELECTION OF GAMES TO BE TELECAST REGIONALLYBy network contract, all team road games must be telecast back to that team’s home territory (franchised market and secondary blackout markets). Other than this requirement, the televising network is the sole selector of which game(s) will be aired in all markets.

2010 SEASON: Appeared in just three regular-season contests as he worked his way back from a hamstring in-jury, but started all four postseason games…Rushed for 101 yards on 29 carries (3.5 avg.) and caught two passes for 15 yards (7.5 avg.) during the regular season…Led the NFL with 315 rushing yards on 81 carries (3.9 avg.) in the playoffs, the third-highest postseason total by a rookie behind only Smith (342 in ’87) and Lewis (338 in ’00)…Returned two kickoffs for 25 yards (12.5 avg.) during the regular season and five for 70 yards (14.0 avg.) in the post-season…Originally sustained hamstring injury during OTAs in May, and was placed on active/PUP at the start of training camp…Later transferred to reserve/PUP at the first roster reduction on Aug. 31, where he would stay for the first nine games…Activated from reserve/PUP on Nov. 9…Was inac-tive for two games following his activation plus another two

contests in December…Vs. San Francisco (Dec. 5): Served as the backup to RB Brandon Jackson and respond-ed with 73 yards on 18 carries (4.1 avg.).

Shook loose for a 16-yard gain by bouncing out around the right end…Vs. Chicago (Jan. 2): After being inactive (healthy scratch) the previous two games, returned to the active roster and posted 20 yards on five carries (4.0 avg.) along with two catches for 15 yards (7.5 avg.)…At Philadelphia (NFC Wild Card, Jan. 9): Posted the top rushing total by a Packer rookie in franchise playoff history, racking up 123 yards on 23 carries (5.3 avg.). The yardage total was the third highest in team postseason annals behind only Ryan Grant (201, vs. Seattle, Jan. 12, 2008) and Ahman Green (156, at Philadelphia, Jan. 11, 2004). His game-long run came on his first carry of the contest, a 27-yard run to the Philadelphia 41 out of the two-fullback “Bone” formation on the Packers’ first possession. Pounded out 32 yards on five rushes on the Packers’ final scoring drive, an 11-play march that took 6:17 off the clock and culminated with Jackson’s 16-yard catch and run on a screen pass that pushed the lead to 21-10 with 7:33 remaining in the third quarter…At Atlanta (NFC Divisional, Jan. 15): Rushed for 66 yards on 25 carries (2.6 avg.), providing enough of a rush-ing threat to set up the Packers’ 366-yard passing day…At Chicago (NFC Championship, Jan. 23): Contin-ued to provide a consistent rushing threat for the Packers’ balanced attack, posting 74 yards on 22 carries (3.4 avg.). Scored the first TD of his career on a 4-yard run early in the second quarter to put Green Bay ahead 14-0. Picked up 55 of his yards on 12 carries in the first half…Vs. Pittsburgh (Super Bowl XLV, Feb. 6): Became the first rookie RB

• Led the NFL with 315 rushing yards in the 2010 postseason, third most ever by a rookie RB in the postseason behind only Washington’s Timmy Smith (342 in 1987) and Baltimore’s Jamal Lewis (338 in 2000).

• Rushed for 123 yards at Philadelphia in an NFC Wild Card contest, the most by a Green Bay rookie in franchise post-season history.

• Posted 73 yards on 18 carries in his NFL debut vs. San Fran-cisco in Week 13, the highest yardage total by a Green Bay rookie RB in his first game since Ralph Earhart had 78 in his debut at Boston (Sept. 17, 1948).

• In three years, became the University at Buffalo’s all-time leader in rushing yards (3,140), rushing TDs (34) and points scored (222). Missed his senior season due to a shoulder injury that required surgery.

• Set single-season school records for carries (272), rushing yards (1,333), points scored (102) and all-purpose yards (1,694) in 2008 despite missing two-plus games with injuries.

November 19, 1957Dear Mr. Vainisi,

Reference to your letter dated November 11, 1957.I am very much interested in playing professional football.

Football is a great sport and I enjoy playing it. Yes, I would be interested in playing with the Green Bay Packers. My military status is 1A Category 4. Yes, I will be able to play pro ball before entering the service. I prefer playing in either the United States or Canada. Fullback is the position I feel I can play better.

Sincerely,Jim TaylorBaton Rouge, La

• Over his first two seasons, went from rookie seventh-round pick to the practice squad to part-time starter at center (four games) and left guard (eight games).

Pittsburgh (Super Bowl XLV, Feb. 6): Responsible for line calls and pressure pick-ups against the Steelers’ dynamic blitz scheme, and threw several key blocks against members of Pittsburgh’s front line. Held his ground against five-time Pro Bowl NT Casey Hampton to create a throwing lane for QB Aaron Rodgers’ 21-yard TD pass to WR Greg Jennings in the second quarter. Later adjusted to block DE Ziggy Hood on a crucial third-and-10 in the fourth quarter, allowing for Rodgers’ 31-yard strike to Jennings, and on the next snap, walled off Hampton on Starks’ game-long 14-yard run, leading to a field goal for the game’s final points.

VETERANS

Chad Henne’s pass intended for WR Brandon Marshall at the Green Bay 14 late in the first quarter to halt a Miami 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 defensed. It was the first time in his career that he posted an INT, a forced fumble and a recovery in the same game…At Minnesota (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. Gi-ants (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 QB Eli Manning…At Philadelphia (NFC Wild Card, Jan. 9): Made the game’s defining play, leaping to intercept 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 leaping 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 quar-ter. 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 couple 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 De-troit (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 de-

fensed, 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 with the explosive receiver, knocking the ball away to secure the world title.

2009: Played in all 16 games, plus playoff contest, with 10 starts…Was nickel back for first 10 contests 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.)…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): In-tercepted 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. Tied a (then) career high with 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 quar-ter, the longest punt return of the season by a Packer…Vs. Minnesota (Nov. 1): Started as team opened in nickel and registered a season-high six tackles (five solo) and two passes defensed. Tied for the team lead with two special teams stops…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 season.

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.

TRAMON WILLIAMS GAME-BY-GAME

The Packers in 1940 became the first NFL team to fly to a road game. Fearing an air disaster would wipe out the entire team, the NFL forced the Packers to split the squad, and fly on two DC-3’s (at right, Coach Curly Lambeau posed with half his team and their plane at Austin Straubel Field before a road trip in the early 1940s).

In those days, many fans turned out to see the humongous plane, more than the team. Players also took out life insurance poli-cies. Al Carmichael and Howie Ferguson, for instance, each took out $50,000 policies, making each other the beneficiary. Players dined on food such as cocktail-grilled sirloin.

AT A GLANCECAREER: Polished veteran and team leader earned his third straight and seventh career Pro Bowl bid in 2010, one year after his best individual season in 2009, when he won NFL Defensive Player of the Year honors from The Associated Press…This past season, in winning his first Super Bowl title in 13 decorated seasons in the NFL, estab-lished new career highs in tackles (115) and forced fum-bles (five), and became the first player in league history to return an interception for a touchdown in five straight seasons…Now has 10 career interceptions returned for touchdowns, third on the NFL’s all-time list behind only Rod Woodson (12) and Darren Sharper (11)…Eight of those are with Green Bay, which constitute a franchise re-cord, as do his nine defensive touchdowns (one fumble return)…Utilized by defensive coordinator Dom Capers in a variety of positions in the defensive backfield, is also a playmaker against the run, with nine forced fumbles over the past two seasons, tied for fourth in the league over that span and tied for first among defensive backs…His seven sacks since 2008 lead all NFL defensive backs…In ’09, became only the second Packer to win the league’s top defensive award (DE Reggie White, 1998) and the oldest defensive back to do so…His three interceptions for touch-downs in ’09 tied the single-season team mark also held by S Nick Collins and CB Herb Adderley, and his career-high nine interceptions on the year tied him for the league lead and put him alongside CB Bobby Dillon (1953-57) as the only Packers to intercept seven or more passes in three different seasons…Since signing with the Packers as their prized unrestricted free agent in 2006, has posted 30 in-terceptions, more than half of his career total of 47 and third most in the NFL over that span…Is the only player in league history (since 1982) to post seven INTs and two sacks in back-to-back seasons (2008-09)…His first of three straight Pro Bowl bids with the Packers in 2008 was his first Pro Bowl nod since four straight to begin his ca-reer (1998-2001) with Oakland…His first season in Green Bay was his best statistically to that point, setting career highs with eight interceptions and 26 passes defensed in ’06…Followed that up with four INTs and two TDs (one on a fumble return) in ’07, and then tied for the NFC lead with teammate Collins by picking off seven passes (returning two for scores) and tallying a career-high three sacks in ’08, despite playing most of it with a broken toe…With 169 INT return yards in ’08, joined Collins to form the second tandem in franchise history to each post 165-plus intercep-tion return yards in a season (John Symank/Dillon, 1957).

Drafted fourth overall in 1998 by Oakland, was voted to the Pro Bowl his first four years in the league (1998-2001) and earned first-team All-Pro honors on three occasions – in 1999 from AP, in 2000 from Sports Illustrated and in 2001 from Sporting News and College & Pro Football Newsweekly…Was named NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year by AP in 1998 as well, when his five INTs and 21 passes defensed established career bests not topped until coming to the Packers…Signed with Green Bay on May 1, 2006, and became the sixth Heisman Trophy winner to play for the Packers, joining (chronologically) B Bruce

Smith (1945-48), B Paul Hornung (1957-62, 1964-66), QB Ty Detmer (1992-95), WR Desmond Howard (1996, 1999) and QB Danny Wuerffel (2000)…Possesses a host of experience on “grand” stages, among them three col-legiate bowl games on a nationally ranked Michigan team, including a 1998 Rose Bowl victory over Washington State to sew up the co-national championship; three Michigan-Ohio State games in the annual battle between two of the country’s fiercest rivals; plus 14 NFL postseason contests, including two Super Bowls (XLV, XXXVII) and four con-ference title games (2007, 2010 in NFC; 2000, 2002 in AFC)…Has shown incredible toughness and desire to play by overcoming various injuries to start 78 of 80 games the last five seasons and was honored by teammates with the 2010 Ed Block Courage Award…When necessary, will let his body recover by observing practices during the middle of the week, returning to the field for the final workout by week’s end – or perhaps even skipping that, as his broken toe in ’08 forced him to do for several weeks – and still playing at a high level in the game…Before a broken leg made him miss 10 games in 2005, had missed just 12 NFL games in his career and has played in 13 or more regular-season games in 11 of 13 seasons as a pro, following a

• In 2010, earned third straight and seventh career Pro Bowl bid, won first Super Bowl in his 13 seasons in the NFL, and returned his 10th interception for a touchdown to move into the No. 3 spot in league history.

• Named NFL Defensive Player of the Year by The Associated Press in 2009, becoming only the second Packer to win the award (DE Reggie White, 1998) and the oldest defensive back to earn the honor.

• In ’09, posted a career-high nine interceptions, and earned NFC Defensive Player of the Month honors three times. Be-came first defensive player in the NFL to win a monthly award three times in the same season.

• Holds the franchise record with nine defensive TDs (eight INTs, one fumble return), eclipsing CB Herb Adderley and S Darren Sharper (seven each) in ’09 for the team mark.

• Has posted seven or more interceptions in three of his five seasons with the Packers, joining CB Bobby Dillon as the only players in franchise annals to intercept seven-plus passes in a season three times.

• Was voted the 1997 Heisman Trophy recipient, becoming the first predominantly defensive player to win the award given annually to the top collegiate player. He is the sixth Heisman Trophy winner to play for the Packers, joining a group that includes Paul Hornung, Ty Detmer and another former University of Michigan standout, Desmond Howard.

• His big-game experience includes two Super Bowls, four conference championship games, eight other NFL playoff contests, three collegiate bowl games including the 1998 Rose Bowl (vs. Washington State) for the co-national championship, and three matchups with collegiate archrival Ohio State.

• Made a $2 million donation to the new University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital and Women’s Hospital, which was announced on Thanksgiving Day in 2009.

Johnson on a slant in the first quarter. Returned the INT 23 yards to the Detroit 41.

2007: Started 14 of 16 games and was named a first alternate for the Pro Bowl…Missed one game due to a toe injury and another to rest up for the playoffs, when he started both contests…Posted 64 tackles (54 solo) with four INTs among 10 passes defensed, plus a fumble recovery…Returned one INT and one fumble for scores, the Packers’ only defensive TDs on the season…Also had a team-high 33 punt returns for 268 yards (8.1 avg.)…Was named to the 2007 All-Interview team by NFL.com’s Vic Carucci…Vs. Washing-ton (Oct. 14): Earned NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors and was voted GMC Defensive Player of the Week; recorded five tackles (four solo), with an INT and a fumble return for a TD. In the second quarter, intercepted a pass that de-flected off the hands of WR Santana Moss, wres-tling the ball away from WR Antwaan Randle El. In the third quarter, DT Corey Williams stripped Moss on an end-around play; Woodson picked up the fumble and ran for a 57-yard, game-winning TD in 17-14 triumph…At Kansas City (Nov. 4): In the fourth quarter, picked off a QB Damon Huard pass intended for WR Samie Parker and returned it 46 yards for a TD, the final score of the game in the 33-22 win. Earlier in the quarter, had a 27-yard punt return that set up a 45-yard FG for a 26-22 advantage. Also tackled RB Larry Johnson for a 1 -yard loss in the third quarter…Vs. Minnesota (Nov. 11): With the Vikings in the red zone in the fourth quarter, picked off a QB Brooks Bollinger pass at the Green Bay 2-yard line, helping to preserve an eventual 34-0 Green Bay win, the franchise’s first-ever shutout of Vikings…At Detroit (Nov. 22): Left the game with a toe injury, suf-fered during a first-quarter 34-yard punt return that was seemingly one block away from a score. Did not return to the contest and missed the next game at Dallas (Nov. 29)…Vs. Detroit (Dec. 30): Sat out to rest up for the playoffs, and went on to post six solo tackles and three passes defensed in the two postseason contests.

2006: Experienced what some might call a rebirth of his career, coming to Green Bay as an unrestricted free agent and producing statistically his best season to that point…Despite battling a painful shoulder injury much of the sea-son, started all 16 contests at LCB and led the team in both

INTs (eight) and passes defensed (26), each a career best that topped his previous highs of five INTs and 21 passes defensed as a rookie in 1998 with Oakland…His 26 passes broken up were the third-most ever recorded by a Pack-ers player, behind Harris (28 in 2004) and Evans (27 in 1995)…The eight INTs tied for first in the NFC and tied for third in the league, yet he was snubbed in Pro Bowl vot-ing…Also served as his team’s primary punt returner for the first time since winning the Heisman Trophy at Michi-gan in 1997, returning 41 punts for 363 yards (8.9 avg.) to easily eclipse the 12 NFL returns he had entering 2006…At Miami (Oct. 22): Led the team with four passes defensed. Picked off a QB Joey Harrington pass that bounced off the hands of TE Randy McMichael and ran it back 23 yards for a TD, his third career score, but first since a 22-yard return of a QB Elvis Grbac INT, Nov. 28, 1999, vs. Kansas City (with Oakland); earlier in the game, came on a corner blitz and sacked Harrington, forcing a punt…At Seattle (Nov. 27): Notched the second two-INT game of his career (also at Chicago, Oct. 5, 2003), and with three passes defensed eclipsed 100 for his career. On the Seahawks’ first drive, in-tercepted a QB Matt Hasselbeck pass deflected by DT Ryan Pickett to set up the Packers’ first TD. Notched his second Hasselbeck INT in the second quarter, stepping in front of a short pass intended for WR Deion Branch…At San Fran-cisco (Dec. 10): Had a career-long 40-yard punt return, setting up a fourth-quarter FG that iced the contest, plus his first kickoff return since his days at Michigan, when he had all three in his collegiate days in one game, a home loss to Penn State (Nov. 16, 1996). Also pounced on a RB Frank Gore fumble (his fifth career fumble recovery but his first since Nov. 28, 2004, in an Oakland win at Denver)…Vs. Detroit (Dec. 17): Recorded a (then) career-high sixth INT, picking off a Kitna pass intended for WR Mike Fur-rey…Vs. Minnesota (Dec. 21): Made his seventh INT of the year, picking off a QB Tarvaris Jackson throw intended for WR Travis Taylor, returning it 14 yards; also had seven punt returns – tying for the second most in franchise his-tory – for 48 yards, including a game-high 18-yard return…At Chicago (Dec. 31): Picked off a second-quarter QB Rex Grossman pass for his eighth INT of the year and his seventh individual takeaway over a six-game stretch.
