Because interceptions aren’t a real common event in the NFL, such statistics vary greatly from team to team and from year to year. Fans do follow individual interception statistics fairly closely. Most Green Bay Packers fans know, for example, that former Packers Micah Hyde (5) and Casey Hayward (4) were among league interception leaders in 2017. Few, however, keep track of which defensive teams produce the most interceptions.
The Packers’ modern golden era in interceptions was 2007-11. In 2007, Green Bay had 19 picks (tied for sixth in the league); in 2008, 22 (tied for third); in 2009, 30 (first); in 2010, 24 (second); and in 2011, 31 (first).
