Green Bay — He was drafted six years ago to be a centerfielder on the back end of the Green Bay Packers' defense. Morgan Burnett, a ball hawk in college, was supposed to allow All-Pro safety Nick Collins to roam free.
Over time, Burnett became the player general manager Ted Thompson expected. Just not in the way he expected.
Burnett is not a centerfielder in the defensive backfield; Thompson later drafted Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to fill that role.
He is not a ball hawk, with just seven career interceptions and one in his past three seasons.
