Davon House could've made his home in Pittsburgh last year. Had he done so, he would've been playing in January.
Instead, the Green Bay Packers cornerback chose to embark on a trip back to where his career began to reconnect with a familiar team, environment and coaching staff.
Evidently, the lack of a playoff berth -- a rare occurrence for a team whose postseason dreams have been alive and well for eight consecutive seasons -- didn't matter to House, but the bonds he shares within the confines of the organization likely do.
House previously spent the first four seasons of his career in Green Bay before venturing to Jacksonville where he'd set the Jaguars' franchise record for passes defensed in a single season.
