GREEN BAY – Mike Daniels finds himself in somewhat unfamiliar territory entering his fifth NFL season.
An overlooked two-star recruit coming out of high school, the Packers’ high-energy defensive lineman is getting used to being in the spotlight these days.
The conversation no longer revolves around his size or humble credentials, but rather the 125 tackles and 18 sacks he’s registered in his first 62 regular-season games.
Four years of constant improvement earned Daniels a contract extension with the Packers in December and a place on NFL Network’s “Top 100 players” list for the first time in his career earlier this offseason.
