A J Hawk: Packers Next Leading Tackler?

[Coachnorm]

Saw this little writeup on the Packer D.

AJ Hawk will replace Nick Barnett as the Packers' "Mike" inside linebacker in Dom Capers' new 3-4 defense. Analysis: Both will likely be three-down players, but Barnett will do more cover work and Hawk will be the attacking, blitzing interior linebacker. Hawk will have to shed more blockers, but his lack of ideal short-area quickness is less of a problem in the 3-4 set. He's a decent bet to lead Green Bay in tackles.

Great news for Hawk owners in IDP leagues. I dealt for him prior to last year and was a little disappointed in his results, this is some good news though.

This is good news for him. He was a beast in college. Hopefully he returns to the same dominance now.
