A longtime member of the Green Bay Packers, Morgan Burnett, has departed for the steel city. When I heard the news, I was shocked. I expected the Packers to pursue one of the leaders of the team in free agency.
He was a mentor for many of the young players in the locker room. Players like Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, Casey Hayward and Damarious Randall looked up to him. All have since become key pieces even though Clinton-Dix is the only one left in Green Bay.
The Packers defense struggled whenever he couldn’t compete.
