With Burnett, the Possibilities Are Endless

The Packers have never been as versatile on defense as they will be going into the 2017 season.

A seasoned veteran now entering his eighth year, Morgan Burnett is the oldest player in the Packers' secondary—he has Davon House beat by a little under six months—and he's also one of the most important ones.

Practically a chess piece at 29 years of age, Burnett was utilized somewhat of a guinea pig in 2016, being placed all over the field in packages that required the Packers to become relatively more athletic in the middle of the field to mask the deficiencies of their inside linebackers.
