Packer Defense - Let's Start With Safeties

The Packer Defense did improve.  By the end of the year, not bad!

Let's begin our breakdown at safety:

Morgan Burnett
Ha Ha Clinton-Dix
Chris Banjo
Jean Fanor
Sean Richardson
Micah Hyde

Morgan Burnett
Something happened this year! And the BEST way to notice is the voting for the playoff run
captains.  Out of all the defense, Morgan!  When a player has the respect of the team, not many awards
can top that!!

Leading the team in tackles - 130, Had two interceptions, 1 fumble recovery

Was used to cover on passes and lined up with the linebackers to help with the run!  Watch the interviews with Morgan this year, and you can see the maturity, the confidence, and the leadership!

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix
A great rookie season!  If you had a chance to watch the Pack, you could see the improvement
from week to week.

Second on the team in tackles with 93.  One interception.

Next year, with Morgan, will we have TWO of the best safeties in the league!!!

Micah Hyde
Hyde was everywhere.  Safety & corner.  Punt Returns. Special Teams.  He is one of those players that is not just a safety, but a FOOTBALL PLAYER!  Those kind of players are VERY valuable on a football team.

14 punt returns - 15.8 yes/return, & 2 TD's!

 He can play safety, corner, return man, & special teams!  Another great value!!

Chris Banjo
If you could keep up with the defensive substitutions, you would have seen Chris Banjo on many defensive snaps.  He also was a special team player.  Early in the year, the coaches had a lot of good things to say and he had a nice year!  Should have a great shot next year!

Sean Richardson
Richardson the past 3 years has mostly been a special teams contributor.  He has filled in when the injury bug hit.  May have a difficult time sticking.  But, he has earned the shot!

Jean Fanor
A practice squad player that needs a closer look.  The off season workouts & next training camp is the best way to show his ability.  Time will tell!

This group is a Packer strength!  Burnett, Clinton-Dix & Hyde lead the way!!!!
