Morgan Burnett's Perfect Complement

The back end of the Packers secondary in 2014 saw a veteran safety entering his fifth year in the NFL and coming off his worst season as a pro. That man was paired with a first round pick playing in his first season in the NFL. The combination couldn't have worked better together.

Morgan Burnett joined the Packers as a talented, but raw, ball hawking safety out of Georgia Tech in 2010. He has had his ups and downs but with the exception of the 2013 season he has shown improvement from each season to the next. The 2013 season was supposed to be the season he took the big step into legitimacy with a solid 2012 season just behind him he was going to step up and be the pillar the team could count on in the back of the Packers' secondary for years to come.
