He's still got a long way to go to be considered a starting-caliber cornerback in the NFL, but last Thursday night was a good indicator in where the undrafted Josh Hawkins stands.
Under position coach Joe Whitt Jr., the Green Bay Packers have a tendency of converting undrafted cornerbacks into starters. Much like Sam Shields and Tramon Williams, Hawkins can only hope to be at least half of the player they were. All of his measurables, coincidentally, seem eerily comparable to that of Shields'.
Whitt's track record is good news for Hawkins, who registered a career-high five tackles in the win over the Chicago Bears.
