MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Steadying himself on a boat, Sam Barrington gripped tightly on the fishing rod and went to work last month.
Snaring a 400-pound shark isn't exactly child's play. By comparison, tackling a 220-pound NFL running back would seemingly be an easy catch for the Green Bay inside linebacker.
Between the fish stories and his acclaimed charitable contributions, Barrington has had a memorable year off the field. On the field, there is plenty of time for Barrington to prove how much he has recovered from a right foot injury that sidelined him for most of last season.
