Desmond wasn't let go. He wanted to be a WR, the Packers were deep there and wanted him to continue PR/KR.

I always like Charles Woodson, I had a poster of him up on my wall when I was in middle school and high school as a Raider. True Gamer.

I gotta give it up to Collins, from the time Leroy agreed to let him have his #36, I was intrigued.

I think it was Collins' second year in the league, in a game against the Cleveland Brown where Braylon Edwards caught a pass and ran to score a long TD. In the replay, Collins was the only player who actually ran behind Edwards the entire way, even though Edwards had a good 20 yard lead. That's the stuff that's telling, IMO.

Collins has so much athletic ability, but I think his speed and hitting ability are over looked. He's a real good tackler, but more importantly he can chase RBs from behind and stop them from turning a big play into a huge play (IE scoring a TD).

It's kinda scary to think what he'd be able to do if his back wasn't injured this year. He's a key component of our Defence. Nick, you da man. :D



I don't think this can be said for Rouse in his second season. Which is sad, he displayed unbelievable game-changing ability in his first year, he looks more like a rookie this year though.

This goes along with what I've said a few times now about Nick Collins and year four. Those who want the source link, well, PackersNews.com doesn't go this far back.
