Tramon Williams is a very different player in 2010 than he was in 2009. Williams was the second most penalized defensive back in the NFL in 2009, when he first stepped into a starting role as Al Harris was lost for the season.

Green Bay Packers 2010 Player Evaluations – Defense – Charles Woodson
As a free agent in 2006, cornerback Charles Woodson was not wanted by 31 of the 32 NFL teams. They thought he was a player in decline and that thanks to those supposedly diminishing skills, it wasn’t worth putting up with his antics.
Well, the one team that wanted him got him, and needless to say the Green Bay Packers are pretty happy with what Woodson has become.
Green Bay Packers 2010 Player Evaluations – Defense – Howard Green
Howard Green can thank for the Jenkins family for the 2010 season; while he started on the Redskins (only to be cut in the offseason), he was scooped by the Jets after starting nose tackle Kris Jenkins went on IR due to a ACL injury.

Green Bay Packers 2010 Player Evaluations – Defense – AJ Hawk
AJ Hawk came in as a highly touted 5th overall selection in the 2006 NFL draft.
