AJ Picks of Grossman and Green Bay keeps rolling in Chicago.

I think Grossman can make anyone look like an All-Pro. :tongue2: But great to see A.J. do it on the big stage. He had a huge MNF game against Seattle.

Edit-Didn't realize it was Griese who he picked off.

Well, I agree. Ryans has been much more consistent. I do feel that Hawk will have the better career and will become the face of the Packers once Favre retires.

Any word on Defensive Rookie of the year yet?

Hawk finished third.

Ryans named AP Defensive Rookie of Year

NEW YORK - DeMeco Ryans came into the NFL as Houston's second choice to bolster its defense. He leaves his first pro year as The Associated Press Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Second was Chicago end Mark Anderson, who was Ryans' teammate at Alabama, with five votes. Green Bay linebacker A. J. Hawk was next with four, while Cleveland LB Kamerion Wimbley got two votes.

Williams, Cincinnati DB Johnathan Joseph and Baltimore DB Dawan Landry each received one.

Lot of good defensive rookies this year, but I'd take A.J. over everyone of 'em.

Happy Birthday to AJ

He had an awesome rookie season and that is just the start of his glorious career in the NFL. I just wanted to wish him a Happy 23rd tomorrow.

Remember all the GB fans whining about how they wasted a first-round pick on Hawk after the first game? They sure showed their football intellect, didn't they?

Yes very much so. As a Packers fan, i was very excited to get Hawk at the draft and with AJ getting more experience and learning, he will be a top Linebacker in years to come throughout the entire NFL. It paid off to get AJ even after his first game that was slow.

You think that's bad? You should've seen the Iowa and Miami fans calling him a bust after training camp. That's right, I said TRAINING CAMP!!

I find it funny how AJ Hawk has more tackles in his rookie season than LaVar Arrington has in any of his seasons.
