HAWK
esty followed him to college and into the NFL, where he
demonstrates a quiet leadership and confidence around
his teammates and in front of the media…In college, was
always at his best in the Buckeyes’ biggest games…In
just one game against eventual national champion Texas
in 2005, induced Vince Young, arguably the nation’s
most exciting player, into two and nearly three turnovers;
thwarted three first-half drives by picking off a third-down
pass, recovering the quarterback’s fumble and delivering
a pivotal sack (also forced a Young fumble in the fourth
quarter)…Twice started in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl (2003,
’05 seasons) and each time earned the contest’s defensive
MVP honors; also played as a reserve in the 2002 Fiesta
Bowl, when Ohio State claimed the national championship…Didn’t expect to be drafted by the Packers, but
along with his family hoped Green Bay would be his
destination because it most resembled his Midwest roots,
a smaller town with ardent fans and outstanding tradition,
like Columbus, Ohio.

►►Led Packers in tackles in 2006
with 155, second-most ever
recorded by Green Bay rookie
(Rich Wingo, 166 in 1979). His
112 solo stops were third-best in
the NFL among all players.
►►Finished third in NFL Defensive
Rookie of the Year voting and

►►The third player in Packers history drafted in the first round
out of Ohio State, following John Brockington (1971) and
Vinnie Clark (1991).
►►First linebacker drafted in the top five of the NFL draft since
Washington chose LaVar Arrington No. 2 overall in 2000;
only the 26th linebacker selected in the top five since the
1970 league merger.
►►A consensus All-American both as a junior (2004) and
senior (2005), earned first-team All-Big Ten honors in each
of his three seasons as a starter. Also captured the 2005
Lombardi Award, given annually to the nation’s top lineman
or linebacker.
►►Plays big in big games. In 2005 thriller vs. No. 2 Texas,
picked off Vince Young, recovered one of the quarterback’s
fumbles and forced another. Also closed senior year by sacking future brother in-law Brady Quinn twice in Fiesta Bowl
triumph over Notre Dame, en route to the his second career
Fiesta Bowl Defensive MVP (also two years earlier).

Third-year pro and
former top five draft
pick has started every
game during his first two seasons and continues to be
the reliable, assignment-sure, impact defender the club
expected…After leading the team in tackles as a rookie
with 155, finished second on the club in
2007 with 129…His 284 career tackles
(193 solo) are in addition to 4 ½ sacks,
three interceptions, 13 passes defensed,
two forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries…His 155
tackles in 2006 were the second-most ever recorded by a
Packers’ rookie (Rich Wingo, 166 in 1979), and his 112
solo tackles ranked third in the league…An indispensable
defensive asset, rarely leaves the field, having played
92.2 percent of the defensive snaps in 2007 and 95.3
percent in 2006, making the ‘dime’ defense (six DBs)
a rare occurrence in the Green Bay scheme…Finished
third in the Associated Press Defensive Rookie of the
Year voting, and earned a spot on Pro Football Weekly/
Pro Football Writers Association All-Rookie Team…Also
named the team’s Defensive Rookie of the Year…The first
linebacker taken in the 2006 draft after being a consensus
All-American each of his final two seasons at Ohio State…
In Packers history, along with Vinnie Clark (1991) and
John Brockington (1971), is one of three first-round
selections from Ohio State…One of only two linebackers
taken among the top five selections over a period of nine
NFL drafts (1998-2006), joined LaVar Arrington (No. 2
overall, 2000) in an exclusive group…Followed the likes
of Lawrence Taylor (1981), Derrick Thomas (1989), Junior
Seau (1990) and Willie McGinest (1994) as one of only
26 linebackers drafted in the top five since the AFL-NFL
merger in 1970…Despite fielding a few attractive offers
to move from the No. 5 position, GM Ted Thompson kept
the pick, and the player he had targeted with that selection
from the beginning was still there…When Thompson (a
former linebacker himself) drafted Hawk, unlike most of
the other high-profile selections, the linebacker wasn’t
dressed in a suit at Radio City Music Hall to shake hands
and pose with Commissioner Paul Tagliabue on national
television…Instead, the unique and humble All-American
had declined the league’s invitation in order to share the
moment with his friends and extended family in his native
Ohio, relaxing and enjoying the day…That move was no
surprise to those who knew him, because humility had
defined Hawk since his days at Centerville (Ohio) High
School…As a prep, instructed his parents not to cheer
for him, although they could clap for team touchdowns…
Secure in his identity, never wore his high school varsity
jackets to avoid coming across as “big-time”…That mod-

NOTE: Jack Concannon (1964, Boston) and Jim Grabowski (1966, Miami) were taken first overall in AFL drafts, but opted
to sign with the NFL teams that drafted them…From 1947-58, the first pick was a Bonus Choice, awarded to the winner
of a random draw. That club, in turn, forfeited its last-round draft choice and was eliminated from future draws. The Packers
were next-to-last to get the Bonus; it was abolished after 1958, when the last club had received one Bonus pick.
