Burnett Helps Masks Packers' Second-Level Deficiencies

Whether with Micah Hyde or without him, the Packers don't have to look far to find another jack-of-all-trades defensive back. They just have to glance in Morgan Burnett's direction.

Entering his eighth season in the league, Burnett has helped bolster the Packers' secondary alongside fourth-year safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix. The duo is rapidly gaining notoriety across the league as one of more recognizable up-and-coming safety pairings.

Burnett's ability to play deep in his natural safety spot and implement his new hybrid role into Dom Capers' scheme - the defensive coordinator who is mostly responsible for transforming Burnett into a part-time linebacker, makes him one of the top priorities as far as team-building goes.
