1 ADMINISTRATION & COACHES

2 FRONT OFFICE MARK MURPHY PRESIDENT & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER MISC REVIEW VETERANS ADMINISTRATION Mark Murphy, possessor of extensive experience in professional football and sports administration, is in his fifth year as the Packers President and CEO. Under Murphy s guidance, the organization continues to rank as one of the NFL s premier franchises, with highly successful operations both on and off the field. On the field, the team has compiled a overall record, made three straight playoff trips and earned a victory in Super Bowl XLV. Off the field, the club continues to perform well in its business efforts, which allows the organization to support football operations. The fan experience at Lambeau Field, a top priority for the organization, continues to be ranked among the best in sports. It was a direction both Murphy and the organization envisioned when Murphy was elected by the Packers Board of Directors as the franchise s 10th Chief Executive Officer on Dec. 3, He began his work with the organization as president-elect on Jan. 1, 2008, and then formally took over on Jan. 28, I am honored to have been selected and very appreciative of this tremendous opportunity, Murphy said the day of his election. The Packers are one of the great franchises in all of professional sports, with a rich history and incredible fan support. These are successful times for the Packers. On the field they re performing well, and off the field, they re in great shape, too. I look forward to being a part of that continued success. Murphy, who holds a law degree and an MBA in finance, brought a unique and highly qualified background to his role as head of one of the NFL s flagship franchises, first drawing from a deep understanding and appreciation of the game that comes from an eight-year playing career with the Washington Redskins. Later, he served a combined 16 years as director of athletics at Colgate University and Northwestern University, and was an assistant executive director of the NFL Players Association and a trial attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice. In addition to his playing career and work with the NFL Players Association, Murphy had maintained his ties to the NFL through his work on the Commissioner s Player Advisory Committee ( ) as well as the NFL Youth Football Committee (2002-present). Additionally, his NFL experience now includes Super Bowl wins as a player (XVII, 1982) and as a CEO (XLV, 2010), believed to be the first such achievement in NFL history. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, recognizing the unique experience and skills Murphy brought to the NFL as the Packers CEO, in 2008 appointed him to the NFL s Management Council Executive Committee, the NFL owners committee whose responsibility was to serve as the bargaining team during negotiations with the NFL Players Association which resulted in a new, 10-year Collective Bargaining Agreement in The position has allowed Murphy to increase his involvement and contributions at the league level, ensuring the organization has a voice in NFL matters. Mark s rare blend of experiences makes him integral to the future of the Packers and the NFL, said Goodell when appointing Murphy.

He s very effective in discussions with NFLPA executives. Mark is a bright and thoughtful individual who understands what needs to get done to create a system that benefits all sides for years to come. He is very reasonable and wants what s best for fans, the game and players, as we all do. In 2012, Goodell added to Murphy s NFL-level involvement by naming him to the important Competition Committee, the group composed of team executives and coaches that studies all aspects of the game and recommends rules and policy changes to NFL clubs. Goodell also placed Murphy on the NFL owners new Health and Safety Committee. Upon joining the Packers, Murphy broadened his knowledge of the franchise, its operations and its standing in the community by meeting with employees, shareholders, fans and members of the Board of Directors, as well as many community groups. Among his first initiatives was to update the organization s strategic plan, a process involving all the leadership positions of the organization, including the Executive Committee and football operations. The process created core objectives to serve as a backdrop for all key business decisions. In a move to enhance those objectives, Murphy restructured the management of the organization, which included creating a new senior-leadership staff overseeing administration, finance, football operations and sales and marketing. The structure reflected the growth the organization has experienced in recent years and gives broader coverage across all operations with more people involved on a senior-management level. 14

3 Murphy also is directing the organization s master plan involving Lambeau Field, the Lambeau Field Atrium, the practice facilities and property the team owns adjacent to the stadium. Lambeau Field currently is undergoing a $143 million, three-year expansion that includes a new distributed-audio sound system (2011), two new HD video boards and a new north gate (2012), and approximately 6,700 additional seats in the south end zone (2013). In 2009, Ray Nitschke Field, the practice field on the east side of the Don Hutson Center, opened for training camp and featured many improvements over previous fields and greatly enhanced the fans experience at training camp. To support the Lambeau Field expansion project, Murphy directed the Packers fifth stock sale, an effort that netted the organization more than $64 million. More than 268,000 shares were sold during the offering, from Dec. 6, 2011, through Feb. 29, 2012, with more than 250,000 new shareholders joining the Packers family. Among the other initiatives Murphy has directed is the enhancement of the organization s retail operations, including the purchase of a new warehouse for the Packers Pro Shop and the establishment of a customer relationship management (CRM) program, with both efforts upgrading customer service to Packers fans. Also in the fan-experience realm, the team created a new department in 2011, the Packers Media Group, whose charge is to provide Packers.com with innovative and enhanced content to engage fans in new and entertaining ways. Murphy also has worked to increase the number of outside events utilizing Lambeau Field, including a Kenny Chesney concert in June 2011, the venue s first major concert since its redevelopment; LZ Lambeau in May 2010, a welcome back for Wisconsin Vietnam Veterans; and the expansion of the Green Bay Marathon to two days. Additionally in the community, Murphy has ensured the organization remains a strong community partner, with a charity impact of $6 million in the past year. Inside the organization, Murphy continues to grow and develop the team s human resources, with new programs THE GREEN BAY PACKERS ORGANIZATION NO. 1 ACROSS ALL OF SPORTS: Each year since 2003, ESPN The Magazine has ranked all 122 franchises in the four major sports based on eight major categories: bang for the buck, ownership, stadium experience, on-field leadership, fan relations, affordability, players effort and likability, and championships won/ expected to win. The Packers finished first in the inaugural rankings in 2003 and also the most recent rankings released in June 2011, joining the NBA s San Antonio Spurs (2004, 2006) as the only team to have garnered the distinction more than once. The franchise also placed in the top 10 in 2004 (third), 05 (eighth), 08 (fourth) and 10 (ninth). Lambeau Field has ranked as the top NFL venue in five of the nine rankings and landed in the top overall spot across all sports five times, including three of the last four years ( , 2011). PLAYERS NAME PACKERS CLASSIEST ORGANIZATION: In October 2004, Sports Illustrated published results of a poll in which the majority of NFL players chose the Packers as the classiest organization in the league. Featured in the magazine s SI Players section, the poll surveyed 354 players. Results: Green Bay Packers 18 percent San Francisco 49ers 15 percent Dallas Cowboys 10 percent New England Patriots 10 percent 15 for employees such as leadership development. The 57-year-old Murphy joined the Packers after 4½ years ( ) as director of athletics at Northwestern University. At the Big Ten Conference school, Murphy oversaw a 19-sport program with a $40 million budget and 160 fulltime employees. During his tenure, the school won eight individual national championships and three NCAA team titles. Additionally, the university won nine conference team championships and 34 individual Big Ten titles. A total of 49 Wildcats earned first-team All-America distinction. On the football field, the Wildcats participated in two bowl games during Murphy s tenure after playing in just four previous such contests in the program s history. In , Northwestern finished 30th in the U.S. Sports Academy Directors Cup standings with a school-best points. The Wildcats ranked among the top 30 in the standings for the last three years of Murphy s tenure and in 2007 finished sixth among Big Ten schools for the third straight year after previously not placing higher than ninth. The school s athletic success under Murphy was achieved while its student-athletes continued to excel off the field. The NCAA Graduation Success Rate (GSR) data released in October 2007 reported Northwestern s rate at 98 percent, tying it with Notre Dame and Navy for tops in the nation. Prior to his tenure at Northwestern, Murphy served as director of athletics at Colgate University in Hamilton, N.Y. ( ), the school from which he graduated in During his 11 years at the helm, the university experienced a renaissance of its football program, going from 0-11 in 1995 to three consecutive appearances in the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs. In 2003, the year after Murphy s departure to Northwestern, the team made it to the championship game; the achievement of that squad a non-scholarship program remains one of Murphy s proudest moments. Colgate s other teams experienced success as well, with men s basketball, women s soccer, women s volleyball, women s softball and men s ice hockey teams making NCAA Tournament appearances. The school also achieved graduation rates among the highest for student-athletes in MOST POPULAR FRANCHISES: In March 2009, the NFL and ESPN Sports Poll released a study in which it aimed to determine the nation s most popular individual pro sports franchises across all sports. The Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers, always among the top vote-getters in the annual Harris Interactive Poll determining America s favorite football team, finished Nos. 1 and 2 across all franchises. NFL teams held six of the top 10 spots in the poll. 1. Dallas Cowboys 6. Los Angeles Lakers 2. Green Bay Packers 7. Indianapolis Colts 3. Pittsburgh Steelers 8. Boston Red Sox 4. New England Patriots 9. New York Giants 5. New York Yankees 10. Atlanta Braves RANKED NO. 1 GAMEDAY EXPERIENCE: In a November 2007 Sports Illustrated poll on SI.com rating the gameday atmosphere for each NFL team, the experience of seeing the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field ranked first. Lambeau Field topped the rankings for a second consecutive season in 2008, according to the SI.com poll. It was the only stadium to achieve a top-five ranking in each of the five categories: affordability & food, tailgating, team quality, atmosphere and accessibility. For all the glitz and money the NFL exudes nowadays, the poll summarized, football s heart is still on that frozen tundra, where tough guys grapple with each other while fans warm themselves on cold bleachers with hot chocolate and fullthroated cheering. And that is still the essence of Lambeau. ADMINISTRATION FRONT OFFICE VETERANS 2011 REVIEW MISC.

4 FRONT OFFICE MISC REVIEW VETERANS ADMINISTRATION Division I during Murphy s tenure. A proud alum, Murphy had the honor of delivering the commencement address for the university s 2012 graduation ceremony. A former All-Pro safety for the Washington Redskins, Murphy enjoyed an eight-year career ( ) after originally signing with the team as a non-drafted free agent in He was a co-captain from , a period that included two Super Bowl teams ( ). He enjoyed his finest season in 1983, leading the NFL with nine interceptions and earning consensus All-Pro honors as well as a trip to the Pro Bowl. Murphy was named as one of the Redskins 70 Greatest Players and also is a member of the club s 50th Anniversary Team. Joe Gibbs, the Hall of Fame former coach of the Redskins who led the team during Murphy s seasons, was appreciative of the player s contributions and lauded the Packers hiring of Murphy. Mark meant a lot to the Redskins organization the years he was here and played, Gibbs said. He was a great person along with being one of the brightest and most competitive people we ve had here at the Redskins. Gibbs had an influence on Murphy as well, as the Packers CEO attributes much of his leadership style to what he learned from the successful Redskins coach. He had many leadership traits that I admired and tried to incorporate into my own leadership style, said Murphy. He had a very natural way about him with the way he related to people, and he tried to be accessible. He was a very effective communicator, too, as most great leaders are. And when he worked with you, he was very fair and sincere. All those skills and traits fueled his awesome ability to motivate his teams. A natural leader among his teammates, Murphy served as the Redskins player representative to the NFL Players Association from , including the position of vice president of the players union ( ). While a representative, he served on the players bargaining committee during the 1982 players strike. Those experiences have served him well in his role on the NFL s Management Council Executive Committee. During his days with the Redskins, Murphy earned an MBA in finance from American University in Washington, D.C., attending classes full-time in the offseason and evening classes in-season. Upon completion of his playing career in 1985, he joined the NFL Players Association as assistant executive director. While with the NFLPA, Murphy served on the bargaining team, including during the 1987 players strike, developed the agent-certification system and strengthened the PA s degree-completion and careercounseling programs. While with the NFLPA, he started work on a law degree from Georgetown University and ultimately finished his studies full-time after leaving the Players Association. Upon receiving his law degree in 1988, he worked at a Washington, D.C., law firm (Bredhoff and Kaiser) before becoming a trial attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice in During a four-year career with the Department of Justice, he primarily represented government agencies in trials. Then, in 1992, his alma mater called and he returned to the sports realm. At ease in public settings and with the media, Murphy enjoyed hosting a weekly radio show during his playing days and later became a sports commentator for National Public Radio ( ) and the Anheuser-Busch Radio Network ( ), offering his insights into football and sportsrelated legal issues in general. Born July 13, 1955, in Fulton, N.Y., Murphy spent some of his formative years in the Houston area before moving back to the Buffalo-area community of Clarence. He was a three-sport star (football, baseball and basketball) at Clarence Central High School and was named the best all-around athlete in Western New York during his senior year. His baseball talents drew attention from Major League scouts. In 2002, he was inducted into the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame in recognition of his achievements both on and off the field. Murphy and his wife, Laurie, who also is a Colgate graduate, have been involved in the communities in which they ve lived. Over the years the couple has donated their time to numerous organizations, including local schools, the United Methodist Church in Hamilton, N.Y., and the First Congregational Church of Evanston, Ill. Also while in Chicago, Murphy served on the bid committee for the 2016 Olympics which eventually was awarded to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. While at Colgate University, Murphy formed the Hamilton Youth Basketball League and served as its commissioner. Heavily involved in the community while with the Redskins, Murphy was named the team s Miller Man of the Year in 1984 in honor of his work off the field. In Green Bay, Murphy continues a busy schedule of meeting with fans and shareholders, as well as speaking to a variety of business and community groups. He also has given his time to several community organizations to help their causes, including Big Brothers Big Sisters. Additionally, Murphy serves on the board of directors of the Positive Coaching Alliance, an organization created to transform the culture of youth sports to give all young athletes the opportunity for a positive, character-building experience. Mark and Laurie are also active supporters of foster-care services in Brown County.

5 TED THOMPSON EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT, GENERAL MANAGER & DIRECTOR OF FOOTBALL OPERATIONS FRONT OFFICE Ted Thompson firmly believes that the best way to build a successful team is by drafting and developing players, with free agency playing a complementary role in addressing specific needs. Now seven-plus years into his tenure as Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations, Thompson s philosophy was further validated in 2010 with a win in Super Bowl XLV over the Pittsburgh Steelers, Green Bay s fourth Super Bowl title and 13th world championship. A look at the Packers roster for Super Bowl XLV indicates a team truly built by Thompson. Nineteen of 22 starters and 49 of 53 players on the roster were acquired by Thompson via the draft, free agency, trades or the waiver wire during his time in Green Bay. Thompson s approach was reaffirmed in 2011, as Green Bay had one of its most successful seasons in team history. While the Packers came up short in their quest to repeat as Super Bowl champions, Green Bay finished with a franchisebest 15 regular-season wins, becoming just the sixth team in NFL history to reach that mark. The combined achievements authored by the 2010 and 11 teams assembled by Thompson have a prominent place in Packers and NFL history. Covering a span of 364 days, Green Bay won 19 consecutive games (including postseason) over the two seasons. The 19-game winning streak began in Week 16 of 2010 and lasted until Green Bay suffered its lone regular-season defeat at Kansas City in Week 15 of the 2011 season. The streak was the longest in franchise history and was the second-longest winning streak in NFL history (including playoffs) behind only the New England Patriots (21 games). Perhaps most impressively, the Packers never trailed in the fourth quarter during their 19-game winning streak. The 2011 Packers captured their second NFC North title under Thompson and first since 2007, and as a result, became the only team in the NFC to qualify for the playoffs in four of the past five seasons. Additionally, the Packers earned the NFC s No. 1 seed for the first time since 1996 and finished with a perfect 8-0 record at Lambeau Field for the first time since Seven of Thompson s players were selected to the Pro Bowl following the 2011 campaign, the most the Packers have had voted to the all-star game since The selections included WR Greg Jennings, FB John Kuhn, LB Clay Matthews, NT B.J. Raji, QB Aaron Rodgers, C Scott Wells and CB Charles Woodson. Six of the selections were acquired by Thompson as Jennings, Matthews, Raji and Rodgers were draft picks while Kuhn was claimed off waivers and Woodson was signed as a free agent. It was the fourth straight Pro Bowl selection for Woodson, the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2009 who was signed by Thompson in 06. Rodgers, who was also named to the Pro Bowl in 2009 and earned Most Valuable Player honors for Super Bowl XLV, also captured the prestigious NFL MVP award following the 2011 campaign. He was Thompson s first draft selection as Green Bay s GM in In 2010, the Packers posted a 10-6 mark and qualified for the postseason for the third time under Thompson. Winners of three straight playoff games on the road, Green Bay became just the second No. 6 seed (2005 Steelers) to win a AT A GLANCE Of the 53 players on Green Bay s Super Bowl XLV championship roster, 49 of them had been acquired by Thompson since Green Bay s seven Pro Bowl selections in 2011 were the most the Packers had voted into the game since 1967, with six of those players either drafted or signed by Thompson. basis. 17 Named NFL Executive of the Year in 2008 and 2011 by Sporting News in a vote of his peers. Named to his position on Jan. 14, 2005, his second stint with the organization. Earlier served eight years with Packers ( ) as assistant director of pro personnel (1992), director of pro personnel ( ) and director of player personnel ( ). Served five seasons ( ) as the Seattle Seahawks vice president of football operations. Combining the drafts he has run in Seattle and Green Bay, 20 of Thompson s selections have earned Pro Bowl, All-Pro or All-Rookie honors. Nine starters on Seattle s Super Bowl XL team, including league MVP RB Shaun Alexander and K Josh Brown, were drafted by the Seahawks during Thompson s tenure. Enjoyed a 10-year playing career with the Houston Oilers ( ), becoming one of the most durable players in Houston annals by playing in 146 of 147 games, missing just one contest due to injury. Originally signed by Bum Phillips as a non-drafted free agent. Was a three-year starter ( ) at linebacker and team captain ( 74) for SMU, gaining Academic All-Southwest Conference honors, graduating with a bachelor s degree in business administration, and also lettering in baseball as a senior. Super Bowl since the NFL went to a 12-team playoff format in The Packers featured eight Pro Bowl selections in 2010, with five of the selections being voted to the initial squad. Four of the eight players were draft picks of Thompson s and two more were signed by Thompson as free agents. What made the Packers championship season in 2010 even more notable was the adversity the team faced due to injuries. Green Bay finished the year with 15 players on injured reserve, and eight of them had started at least one game on the season. Six starters from the opening-day depth chart sustained season-ending injuries in the first seven games. Because of those injuries, the roster depth that Thompson had built during his tenure came to the fore. Rookies such as T Bryan Bulaga, a first-round draft pick in 2010, and CB Sam Shields and LB Frank Zombo, both non-drafted free agents in 10, were called upon to step into prominent roles. A pair of fourth-year players, LB Desmond Bishop and S Charlie Peprah, moved into the starting lineup and became key cogs on defense after contributing primarily on special teams earlier in their careers. RB James Starks, a sixth-round pick in 2010 who was limited to just three games during the regular season because of an injury, led the NFL with 315 rushing yards in the postseason, third most in league annals by a rookie RB in the playoffs. The Packers Super Bowl XLV team was a direct reflection of the philosophy that Thompson has held true to throughout his Green Bay tenure, one that should put the franchise in good position to contend for championships on an annual ADMINISTRATION VETERANS 2011 REVIEW MISC.

6 FRONT OFFICE MISC REVIEW VETERANS ADMINISTRATION Since taking over as GM in 2005, Thompson has focused on rebuilding and improving the bulk of the roster, mostly through the draft. In his first four drafts from , Thompson utilized 14 trades, all but one of them down, to turn 31 picks into 43 selections, plus an extra choice in 09. In , however, his trades went in the other direction as the improved roster core allowed him to focus less on the overall quantity of picks. Those two years, Thompson traded up for specific players he had targeted in certain rounds. In 09, after selecting Boston College NT B.J. Raji with the No. 9 overall selection in the first round, Thompson traded a second-round pick and two third-round selections Nos. 41, 73 and 83 overall to New England to get another crack at a first-round talent. He moved up 15 spots to No. 26 overall and nabbed Matthews out of USC, while also receiving a 2009 fifth-round pick in return from the Patriots. Just like that, not only did Thompson give the Packers two first-round draft choices for the first time in 16 years, he added highly touted prospects at the two linchpin positions in the 3-4 defense a middle anchor and outside pass rusher. In addition to Matthews earning a Pro Bowl bid as a rookie, both he and Raji made the prestigious Pro Football Weekly All-Rookie team. Their success has continued in the subsequent seasons following their rookie campaigns. Matthews earned his second and third Pro Bowl bids in 2010 and 11, becoming the first Packer since RB John Brockington ( ) to earn Pro Bowl recognition in each of his first three seasons. Matthews also finished as the runner-up to Steelers S Troy Polamalu for 2010 Defensive Player of the Year honors from The Associated Press. In 2010, Raji posted 6½ sacks, the most by an NFL nose tackle since 1990, and this past season, he earned his first Pro Bowl selection. Bulaga, the No. 23 overall pick in 2010, went on to start the final 12 regular-season contests at RT as a rookie in place of injured veteran Mark Tauscher, and also opened all four PACKERS GENERAL MANAGERS Curly Lambeau Gene Ronzani Verne Lewellen Vince Lombardi Phil Bengtson Dan Devine Bart Starr Tom Braatz* Ron Wolf Mike Sherman Ted Thompson present * Executive Vice President/Football Operations 18 playoff games. Bulaga was named to the All-Rookie team by PFW, joining Raji and Matthews as three straight first-round picks by Thompson to be honored by the publication. A solidified starter in 2011, Bulaga has developed into one of the best young tackles in the league. Despite coming off a world championship in 2010 and featuring one of the deepest rosters in the league, the Packers received consistent contributions from Thompson s 2011 draft class in their rookie seasons. Second-round pick WR Randall Cobb made an immediate impact in his pro debut vs. New Orleans with a 108-yard kickoff return for a touchdown that matched the NFL record. He finished the season ranked No. 2 in the NFL (No. 1 among rookies) with a 27.7-yard kickoff return average and No. 7 in the league (No. 2 among rookies) with an 11.3-yard punt return average. Additionally, with Cobb s 80-yard punt return for a TD in Week 10 vs. Minnesota, he became the first player in team history and first NFL rookie since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger to register a 100-yard kickoff return and 80-yard punt return in the same season. For his efforts, Cobb was named to the Pro Football Weekly All-Rookie team as the kick returner. Combining the drafts he has run in Seattle and Green Bay, 20 of Thompson s selections have earned Pro Bowl, All-Pro or All-Rookie honors. First-round selection T Derek Sherrod and third-round pick RB Alex Green saw their contributions increase as the season progressed, but both were lost to season-ending injuries, Green in Week 7 and Sherrod in Week 15. LB D.J. Smith, a sixth-round pick, played in all 16 games with three starts and tied for third on the team with 11 special teams tackles. Seventh-round selection TE Ryan Taylor made an immediate impact as a core special teams player, ranking fifth on the team with 10 special teams tackles. Never afraid to be aggressive on draft day, Thompson was at it again during the 2012 NFL Draft as he traded up three times over the course of the weekend. Highlighted by firstround pick LB Nick Perry of USC and second-round pick DE Jerel Worthy of Michigan State, Thompson used the first six of the team s eight picks overall on defense. Thompson followed in the footsteps of his mentor, Ron Wolf, in becoming Green Bay s GM, and in 2008 he joined Wolf in becoming only the second person in the history of the organization to be recognized as the best in his field in a vote of his peers as the NFL Executive of the Year by Sporting News. He further cemented his reputation in the NFL by winning the award for a second in time following the Packers record-setting 2011 season. Preceding his first award, Thompson left an undeniable stamp on the Packers successful 2007 season. In just his third campaign as GM, he assembled a roster that was the youngest yet one of the most talented in the NFL, and the Packers went 13-3, won the NFC North Division title, and advanced to the NFC Championship Game for the first time in a decade. I m honored to receive this award on behalf of the Green Bay Packers, the humble Thompson said in We view this as a team honor and feel the coaches, players and staff should all be very proud of the job they ve done in helping this franchise succeed. The prestigious award acknowledged Thompson for his diligence and success as the team came within an overtime field goal of advancing to the Super Bowl. But it also served as recognition for Thompson s overall body of work since taking his current position in 2005.

7 One of the biggest additions to the playoff-bound team came from a key trade. Thompson acquired RB Ryan Grant from the New York Giants at the end of training camp for a sixth-round draft choice, adding the former Notre Dame standout to a crowded but banged-up backfield. Grant eventually took over as the feature back midway through the season and proceeded to rush for nearly 1,000 yards, adding 201 yards and three TDs in the NFC Divisional playoff victory over Seattle, both Green Bay postseason records. He went on to add back-to-back 1,200-yard campaigns in Surprising many with the hiring of Mike McCarthy as head coach in January 2006, Thompson embarked on turning around a 4-12 team beset by injuries and salary-cap concerns in his first season. The improvement to an 8-8 mark in 2006, followed by the playoff run in 2007, netted McCarthy the Motorola NFL Coach of the Year award and placed both Thompson and his chief hire at the top of their professions. Thompson s career as a football executive came full circle on Jan. 14, That day, former Green Bay Packers CEO Bob Harlan gave him full authority over all aspects of football operations for the storied franchise. In becoming the 10th general manager in club history, Thompson rejoined the team with which he received his start under Wolf in After working for the legendary general manager through the 1999 season, Thompson spent five years as vice president of football operations for the Seattle Seahawks. It s almost a dream come true-type job, Thompson said. You think about, when you re a young kid, some of the things you d like to do when you grow up and you think maybe manager of the New York Yankees or maybe the general manager of the Green Bay Packers. So it s a thrill, it s an honor. For Harlan, the selection of Thompson to lead Green Bay s football fortunes was an easy choice, and Thompson has validated that confidence in his selection by successfully remaking the roster into one he and the organization believe is built for long-term success. I feel Ted is a perfect fit for the Packers, Harlan said, introducing Thompson in He is a respected National Football League veteran who is a proven talent evaluator and an efficient administrator. He knows the people in our personnel department and he is familiar with how we run our football operation. He embraces the Packers championship tradition, and he was very anxious to have the opportunity to return to Green Bay. Now in his 31st NFL season, including 10 years as a player, Thompson knows and respects the position the Packers hold in the hearts of the fans, and around the league. The history and tradition of this place is unrivaled in professional sports, Thompson said. I understand the passion the people here have for their team. Ron (Wolf) told me this is the best job in the National Football League. I never forgot that. DRAFT PICKS BY SCHOOL, The 59-year-old Thompson not only joined an organization with which he was familiar, but also oversees a respected staff that includes John Dorsey, who holds the title of director-football operations, Eliot Wolf, director of pro personnel, Brian Gutekunst, director of college scouting, and Alonzo Highsmith, senior personnel executive. Former Thompson staffers include current Oakland Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie, Raiders director-college scouting Shaun Herock and Seattle Seahawks executive vice president/general manager John Schneider. Almost immediately upon taking over, Thompson made a crucial choice for the long-term benefit of the club. In the 2005 NFL Draft, Rodgers had been projected as high as the No. 1 overall pick, but he wasn t taken there and ended up sliding all the way down to the Packers at No. 24. One year later, Thompson handed Rodgers to an accomplished quarterback mentor in McCarthy to mold him into the team s signal caller of the future. In , following the retirement and subsequent trade of Brett Favre, Rodgers became the first quarterback in league history to eclipse 4,000 yards passing in each of his first two seasons as a starter. Rodgers surpassed the 4,000-yard mark again in 2011 and has posted 17,037 passing yards the past four seasons. That total ranks first in NFL history for the most passing yards by a QB in his first four seasons as a starter, surpassing the previous mark held by Peyton Manning (16,418, ). Rodgers career passer rating of ranks No. 1 in NFL history, and his passer rating in 2011 set an NFL record, topping Manning s mark in Additionally, Rodgers 1.8 career interception percentage is tops in NFL history. Although Thompson prefers to shift the spotlight in another direction, his fingerprints were all over the Seahawks road to Super Bowl XL during the 2005 season. NFL MVP Shaun Alexander, Thompson s first draft pick in Seattle, in 2000, captured the 2005 league rushing title and established a then-single-season NFL record with 28 touchdowns. Nine of Seattle s Super Bowl starters, as well as K Josh Brown, were drafted by Thompson. That list included G Steve Hutchinson, a Pro Bowler in seven of his 11 NFL seasons. Seattle could ve gone in another direction in the 2000 draft. With perennial 1,000-yard rusher Ricky Watters on the roster, the club didn t need a running back in the first round. But with the Seahawks on the clock holding the 19th overall choice, Alexander was the best player available. One year later, in the 2001 draft, Thompson wanted Hutchinson in a similar situation. You have to do what you think is best for the organization, Thompson said before the 2006 draft, when he chose LB A.J. Hawk with the fifth overall selection. A draft is an investment in a player that s going to be here for a number of years. Thompson s philosophy on building a successful team relies heavily on drafted players as a foundation. In today s NFL, teams can t win consistently with free agency as their primary tool. And in building through the draft, the Packers place a premium on character.

8 FRONT OFFICE MISC REVIEW VETERANS ADMINISTRATION But despite how much value he places on the draft, Thompson also will use the free-agent market as another tool to build the roster. In Green Bay, he has brought in players like Woodson, DE Ryan Pickett and C Jeff Saturday, among others, to either take over starting jobs or provide valuable, experienced depth at their positions. I think free agency is a very interesting tool to use to help you patch some holes and do some things, said Thompson, who signed five unrestricted free agents in 2006, the Packers most since There s no reluctance on our part. We do try to make certain that what we do is not just fantasy football. We re investing in a player that s got to come in and play a particular role. If we don t think that player can perform to that contract, then it doesn t make sense for us to do it just to say, Look what we ve spent. In Green Bay annals, Thompson is only the fourth general manager to serve exclusively from the front office, joining Verne Lewellen ( ), Vince Lombardi (1968) and Wolf ( ). The low-profile Thompson has a proven track record as an evaluator. Overseeing Seattle s draft board from 2000 through 04, Thompson provided the Seahawks a solid foundation which they used to make three straight playoff appearances ( ). His 2003 draft saw Thompson land three players Brown, CB Marcus Trufant and S Ken Hamlin who not only made immediate front-line contributions as rookies, but who also became cornerstone players for years to come. Just one year later, those three were instrumental in Seattle s 2004 NFC West championship. In the Seahawks playoff game that year, 11 of 22 starters were acquired through Thompson s drafts. In his first two Green Bay drafts, Thompson selected S Nick Collins in 2005 and Hawk, Jennings and G Daryn Colledge in All four were named to the PFW All-Rookie Team. In 07, he drafted K Mason Crosby, whose 649 career points from were the most in NFL history by a player in his first five seasons. Prior to 2009, Thompson selected 43 players in his first four drafts as GM, signaling the rebuilding of the roster core that had seen only 27 draft picks in the four years ( ) before Thompson returned to Green Bay. As a result, offseason competition for positions on Green Bay s 53-man roster has been fierce since Thompson took over, and should only become more intense in training camp in The goal is to improve the team s play through competition, just as it was when Bum Phillips annually brought in younger talent to try to take Thompson s job during the former linebacker s 10-year playing career with the Houston Oilers. A former Oilers teammate, Mike Reinfeldt, helped to launch Thompson s second football career. In 1992, Reinfeldt, then the Packers vice president of administration, recommended that Wolf take a look at Thompson as a potential pro scout for his staff. Wolf subsequently brought Thompson in to audition as a personnel evaluator, and Thompson always has felt he learned a lot from Wolf. He taught me passion, he taught me work ethic, he taught me believing in yourself, to have confidence, to write down 20 what you see, not what other people see, and to trust yourself. During his first tenure in Green Bay, Thompson was instrumental in providing talent that produced an record (.648), six straight playoff berths, two Super Bowl appearances and the 1996 world championship. With his help, the team acquired free agents Reggie White, Sean Jones, Don Beebe, Santana Dotson and Desmond Howard. Through the draft, Green Bay added Darren Sharper, Vonnie Holliday and Donald Driver, one of the franchise s lowestdrafted Pro Bowlers. A possessor of strong football credentials and keen knowledge of the game gleaned from his decade-long playing career, Thompson credits Wolf with deepening his understanding of the scouting process and cites his experience in Seattle working with Mike Holmgren as very valuable in terms of his growth as a football person, running an organization and making decisions that affect the team in the present and in the future. A versatile linebacker during his 10-year NFL playing career with the Oilers ( ), Thompson also was one of the most durable players in team annals, missing just one of 147 contests due to injury. He started eight games over the course of his career and also played in seven postseason contests ( ), with the Oilers going 4-3 in those games, losing the AFC Championship to the Steelers in both 1978 and 79. He originally was signed by Phillips as a nondrafted free agent. Thompson s Oilers teammates included Pro Football Hall of Famers Earl Campbell, Mike Munchak, Elvin Bethea, Warren Moon and Bruce Matthews, current Packer Clay s uncle. Thompson also served as a reserve kicker and converted all four PATs he attempted in an emergency situation vs. the New York Jets in a 1981 contest. Collegiately, Thompson was a three-year starter ( ) at linebacker and team captain ( 74) for SMU. As a sophomore, he played under head coach Hayden Fry, and Phillips, his eventual pro coach, was defensive coordinator. He also served as the team s placekicker as a senior. Following his football career, in the spring of 75, he lettered as an outfielder for the Mustangs baseball team. Thompson gained Academic All-Southwest Conference honors and graduated with a bachelor s degree in business administration. Born Jan. 17, 1953, in Atlanta, Texas, Thompson was an all-region player at the city s high school, lining up at running back, linebacker and placekicker. He also lettered in basketball, baseball, track and golf. He is single and enjoys an occasional round of golf in times of leisure.

First named as a college scout by then-executive Vice President/General Manager Ron Wolf on Feb. 1, 1999, Highsmith originally had entered the professional ranks as the third overall pick in the 1987 NFL Draft by the then- Houston Oilers, behind only college teammate Vinny Testaverde (Tampa Bay) and Cornelius Bennett (Indianapolis). The 47-year-old Highsmith began his pro career by playing three seasons in Houston ( ), starting 40 straight games with the Oilers. Following offseason knee surgery, he was traded to the Dallas Cowboys prior to the 1990 campaign. He was with Dallas for a season-and-a-half before being waived by the Cowboys on Oct. 4, Claimed by Tampa Bay, Highsmith spent the remainder of his pro career with the Buccaneers. Due to a series of knee injuries, he retired from the NFL at the end of the 1992 season. Highsmith s NFL totals include 65 games played, 283 rushing attempts for 1,195 yards (4.2 avg.) and seven touchdowns.

ADMINISTRATION VETERANS 2011 REVIEW NAMES ON THE FACADE The names gracing the east and west facades, one of the more awe-inspiring features of Lambeau Field s bowl, are often misidentified as the Green Bay Ring of Fame or Ring of Honor. It s an honest mistake. Most franchises induct former players, coaches and contributors into an exclusive club, usually called a Ring of Honor and containing on average individuals. In Green Bay, though, the equivalent to that group is the Packers Hall of Fame, which this summer inducted three more members (Mark Chmura, Marv Fleming and Greg Koch). Actually, the 21 names at Lambeau Field list the franchise s Pro Football Hall of Famers. The names are in no particular order. In spring 2003, the Packers added James Lofton s name to the far right of the west side, which also displays (left to right) Forrest Gregg, Mike Michalske, Willie Wood, Jim Ringo, Herb Adderley, Clarke Hinkle and Robert (Cal) Hubbard. The East side lists (left to right) Henry Jordan, Tony Canadeo, Don Hutson, E.L. (Curly) Lambeau, Johnny (Blood) McNally, Arnie Herber, Vince Lombardi, Willie Davis, Ray Nitschke, Bart Starr, Jim Taylor and Paul Hornung. In 2006, the team unveiled its 21st legendary name, Reggie White. And unlike most other stadiums that display names on their facade, most of the Packers individuals (13) actually played/ coached on the field in front of them. The bowl also lists the years of the Packers NFL-record 13 world championships and, since 2003, the team s five retired numbers. Plus, in 2006, the Packers honored the architect of the Super Bowl XXXI champions, former Executive Vice President and General Manager Ron Wolf, adding the retired executive s name to the northeast corner.

17 When Mike McCarthy was named head coach of the Green Bay Packers in January 2006, he said the goal for the franchise would be to win a Super Bowl, and that would never change. In 2010, McCarthy led the Packers back to the pinnacle of the sport, joining Vince Lombardi and Mike Holmgren as the only coaches in team history to lead the Packers to a Super Bowl title, with a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV. The path to that world championship was not an easy one as McCarthy joined Pittsburgh s Bill Cowher (2005) as the only Super Bowl-winning coaches to lead their respective teams to three road victories as the No. 6 seed in the playoffs en route to a title. Since taking over as head coach in 06, McCarthy has a overall record (.654), including a 5-3 mark (.625) in the postseason. His regular-season winning percentage ranks third among current NFL head coaches (min. 50 games). The past three seasons under McCarthy marked one of the most successful stretches in team history as Green Bay posted a record (.741), including the playoffs. The 40 victories from ranked No. 2 in the NFL behind only New Orleans (41), and were the most by the Packers over a three-year span since (42). The Packers entered the 2011 season with high expectations and the goal of becoming the NFL s first repeat champion since While the team ultimately fell short of that goal, Mc- Carthy led Green Bay to a franchise-best 15 regular-season wins, becoming just the sixth team in NFL history to reach that mark in the regular season. The Packers began the 11 campaign reeling off 13 consecutive wins, easily eclipsing the previous franchise record of 10-0 starts in 1929 and Dating back to Week 16 of the 2010 season, and including the playoffs, Green Bay won 19 consecutive games before suffering its lone regular-season defeat at Kansas City in Week 15. Covering a span of 364 days, the 19-game winning streak was the longest in franchise history and was the second-longest winning streak in NFL history behind only the New England Patriots (21 games). Perhaps most impressively, the Packers never trailed in the fourth quarter during their streak. The Packers 2011 regular-season success culminated with their second NFC North title under McCarthy and first since Green Bay s 6-0 mark in the division marked the first time in team history that the Packers posted an undefeated record in their division since the NFL went to the divisional format in Green Bay also became the first team since the 1987 Chicago Bears to sweep the NFC North/Central. With the Packers playoff appearance in 2011, they became the only team in the NFC to qualify for the playoffs in four of the past five seasons. Additionally, Green Bay earned the NFC s No. 1 seed for the first time since 1996 and finished with a perfect 8-0 record at Lambeau Field for the first time since McCarthy was runner-up in Coach of the Year voting by The Associated Press and saw seven of his players earn Pro Bowl nods following the 2011 campaign, the most the Packers had voted to the all-star game since McCarthy guided the Packers to a 10-6 campaign in 2010, highlighted by seven wins in the final 10 games. What made the Packers championship season even more impressive was the adversity the team faced due to injuries. Green Bay finished the year with 15 players on injured reserve, and eight of them had started at least one game during the season. Six starters from the opening-day depth chart sustained season-ending injuries 20th NFL Season Eighth Packers XX Season NFL Season Seventh XX Packers as Head Season Coach 29 MIKE MCCARTHY HEAD COACH AT A GLANCE Named the Packers 14th head coach on Jan. 12, Joined Pittsburgh s Bill Cowher (2005) as the only Super Bowlwinning coaches to lead their respective teams to three road victories as the No. 6 seed in the playoffs en route to a world title.

The Packers became just the third 10-6 team in NFL history to win a Super Bowl, and their six losses on the season came by a combined 20 points. Green Bay never lost a game by more than four points, but even more impressive, it never trailed by more than seven points at any point in a game all season. The Packers became the first team since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger to never trail by more than seven points at any point during the regular season, and became the first championship-winning franchise to do so since the 1942 Washington Redskins. It was a shining example of the steady, consistent approach that McCarthy has taken in leading the Packers throughout his tenure, one that culminated with the organization s fourth Super Bowl title and 13th world championship in PROLIFIC OFFENSES Prior to coming to Green Bay in 2006, McCarthy was known in NFL circles for his innovative offensive mind and his ability to develop young quarterbacks. Six seasons into his tenure with the Packers, that reputation COACHES COACHING STAFF/MIKE McCARTHY VETERANS 2011 REVIEW MISC.

18 COACHING STAFF/MIKE MCCARTHY MISC REVIEW VETERANS COACHES has become firmly entrenched, if not enhanced, by the Packers offensive prowess before and during Aaron Rodgers tenure as the team s starting quarterback. McCarthy s six Packers teams all have ranked in the NFL s top 10 in total yardage checking in at ninth in 2006, second in 07, eighth in 08, sixth in 09, ninth in 10 and third in 11 one of only two teams (New Orleans) to finish in the top 10 each of the last six years. Additionally, three of the franchise s top five single-season yardage totals have occurred during McCarthy s tenure. In , the Packers were the first team in NFL history to produce a 4,000-yard passer (Rodgers), two 1,000-yard receivers (Greg Jennings, Donald Driver), and a 1,200-yard rusher (Ryan Grant) in two consecutive years. The Packers have also finished in the top 10 in the NFL in total points each of the past five seasons ( ), highlighted by a franchise-record 560 points in The new franchise mark also ranks as the second-highest point total in NFL history behind only the 589 points posted by the New England Patriots in The Packers 2,263 points over the past five seasons were the most in franchise history over a five-year span, while their 97 turnovers were the fewest over a five-year period. Last season, Green Bay set a franchise record for fewest giveaways in a season with 14, while ranking second in the NFL. En route to earning NFL Most Valuable Player honors, Rodgers guided one of the most successful offenses in NFL history in In addition to setting a new franchise single-season record for points and fewest giveaways, the 11 Packers set new single-season marks for touchdowns (70), total net yards TOP 10 AGAIN (6,482) and net passing yards (4,924). The 70 TDs were also tied with the 1984 Miami Dolphins for the second-most TDs in a season in NFL history behind only the 2007 Patriots (75). The Packers outscored their opponents last season, a 201-point differential that ranked No. 2 in the NFL (New Orleans, plus-208). It marked the third straight season that the Packers outscored their opponents by at least 145 points. The last NFL team to accomplish that feat in three-plus consecutive seasons was the San Francisco 49ers from In the 2011 regular-season finale vs. Detroit, Green Bay registered 45 points, marking the sixth time on the season the team scored 42 points or more, to establish a new NFL record for the most 42-point games in a season since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger. Green Bay is 39-2 in McCarthy s six seasons (42-3 including playoffs) when scoring at least 30 points. MAJOR CHANGE In 2009, McCarthy embarked upon the first major alterations to his coaching staff since his arrival, hiring Dom Capers to be his new defensive coordinator and change the unit from a 4-3 base alignment to the 3-4 scheme that has been the staple of Capers career. The results have been incredibly impactful. With a No. 2 ranking in 2009 and a No. 5 ranking in 10, the Packers finished in the top five in the league in overall defense in back-to-back seasons for the first time since Since 09, Green Bay ranks first in total takeaways (110), first in interceptions (85), third in opponent passer rating (72.7) and fourth in points allowed (18.7). For the sixth consecutive season under Mike McCarthy, the offensive play-caller, the Green Bay offense ranked in the NFL s top 10. New Orleans, which enlisted head coach Sean Payton as its offensive play-caller, was the only other club to finish in the top 10 in overall offense each of the last six seasons. In The Packers averaged a team-record yards per game to rank No. 3 in the NFL while statistically registering the most prolific offensive season in team history. The Packers scored a franchise-record 560 points, which also ranked as the second-highest point total in NFL history behind only the 589 points posted by the New England Patriots in The team also set a franchise record for fewest giveaways in a season with 14, while ranking second in the NFL in that category. Additionally, the offense set new single-season marks for touchdowns (70), total net yards (6,482) and net passing yards (4,924). The Packers outscored their opponents , a 201-point differential that ranked No. 2 in the NFL (New Orleans, plus-208). It marked the third straight season that the Packers outscored their opponents by at least 145 points. The last NFL team to accomplish that feat was the San Francisco 49ers from Green Bay scored 42 points or more six times on the season, establishing a new NFL record for the most 42-point games in a season since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger. QB Aaron Rodgers earned NFL MVP honors after posting an NFL single-season record passer rating and setting franchise records with 45 TD passes and 4,643 passing yards. In Despite the loss of critical playmakers to various injuries, the offense still managed a top-10 finish, averaging just over 358 yards per game during the regular season. Green Bay was one of four teams in the NFL to have both the offense (No. 9) and defense (No. 5) rank among the league s top 10. It was the first time the Packers accomplished the feat in backto-back seasons since Rodgers narrowly missed his third consecutive season of surpassing the 4,000-yard passing plateau, falling just 78 yards short (3,922) after missing 1½ late-season games due to injury. The QB still finished the season ranked in the top 10 in nearly every major passing category. The offense featured a particularly balanced passing attack throughout the season that included three WRs (Greg Jennings - 76, Donald Driver - 51, James Jones - 50) posting 50-plus catches for the first time in franchise history. The unit maintained its prolific pace throughout the team s extended postseason run, averaging 30.3 points per game and scoring 121 points in the four playoff contests, the third-highest total for a single postseason in NFL history. In Averaging over 379 yards per game, the highest total in McCarthy s four seasons, the Packers offense finished the year No. 6 in the NFL. Green Bay scored 461 points, the second most in team history. For the third time in franchise history, the club surpassed 6,000 total net yards, now ranking No. 4 in team annals with 6,065. Green Bay became the first team in NFL history to have a 4,000- yard passer, 1,200-yard rusher and two 1,000-yard receivers in back-to-back seasons. The Packers established a then-franchise record with just 16 giveaways, fewest in the NFL. Rodgers threw for 4,434 yards, finishing just shy of Lynn Dickey s team record (4,458, 1983). RB Ryan Grant also had a career-high 1,253 yards, sixth most in team history. In The Packers finished the season ranked No. 8 in the NFL in total offense, averaging over 351 yards per contest. Green Bay s 419 points was the fifth-highest total in the league. For the first time in franchise history, the club had a 4,000-yard passer (Rodgers), 1,200-yard rusher (Grant), and two 1,000-yard receivers (Driver and Jennings). Some players etched their names among the greats in Packers history, establishing some of the top single-season marks in passing yards (Rodgers, 4,038, 10th), rushing yards (Grant, 1,203, eighth) and receiving yards (Jennings, 1,292, 10th) in team history. The Packers had just 21 giveaways, tying the 95 team for the fourth fewest in club history. In The Packers had their highest finish since 1983, ranking as the No. 2 offense in the NFL. The unit produced over 370 yards per game. Green Bay scored 435 points, fifth on the Packers all-time singleseason list. The total ranked fourth in the NFL. The Packers produced 5,931 total net yards (1,597 rushing, 4,334 passing), which ranks fifth in club history. McCarthy designed an offense to highlight his receivers ability after the catch. The league s No. 2 passing offense amassed 2,294 yards after the catch, tops in the league. The NFL average in 2007 was 1,596 yards. The Packers finished with 67 plays of 20 yards or more, second only to Dallas (68). Fifteen of those big plays came on the ground, and 52 were through the air. In Green Bay finished No. 9 in total offense, averaging over 341 yards per contest. The Packers were 4-0 when reaching 30 points. They were 9-0 when reaching 30 points in 07, 4-1 in 08, 6-1 in 09, 5-0 in 10 and 11-0 in 11, making the club 39-2 in regular-season games under McCarthy when reaching the 30-point mark. In its first year in McCarthy s West Coast offense, Green Bay began to show some of its big-strike capability. Its skill players produced 2,161 yards after the catch, second most in the NFL. The Packers had just 77 negative plays all season, the third fewest in the NFL and the least under McCarthy. 30

19 In 2011, Green Bay s ball-hawking ways continued as the Packers posted a league-high 31 interceptions, the second time in the last three seasons (2009) that they led the league in that category. The INT total was the most posted by Green Bay since it registered the same total in The Packers finished tied for the league lead with 38 total takeaways, leading to a plus-24 turnover ratio that ranked second in the league and tied for second in franchise history. During McCarthy s tenure, the Packers have a 48-6 regular-season record (.889) when holding the advantage in turnover ratio. Additionally, Green Bay has finished in the top five in points off of takeaways each of the past four seasons ( ), the only team in the league to do so. In 2010, the Packers ranked No. 2 in the NFL in scoring defense at 15.0 points per game, the team s best mark since leading the league in the category in 1996 (13.1). Green Bay tied for No. 2 in the league with 47 sacks in 10, its highest ranking since sacks began to be recorded as a team statistic in The defense improved from 20th in total yards allowed in 08 to second in 09, and from 26th in run defense to the top spot, becoming the first Green Bay defense to lead the league against the run and setting a franchise record by allowing just 83.3 yards rushing per contest. The defense also led the league in interceptions (30) and total takeaways (40) in 09. The 09 season was not a smooth road back to playoff contention, however. Back-to-back losses in early November to division-rival Minnesota and previously winless Tampa Bay dropped the Packers to 4-4, and a promising season suddenly appeared in doubt. But McCarthy kept building on the identity that was forming a team that could attack with multiple threats offensively, stop the run defensively and win the turnover battle and led the Packers out of the adverse stretch to three straight victories in 12 days, culminating on Thanksgiving at Detroit. The winning streak was stretched to five games and included home triumphs over eventual playoff teams Dallas and Baltimore. The team also overcame considerable adversity, in the form of season-ending injuries to defensive starters Al Harris and Aaron Kampman, to ultimately go 7-1 over the second half of the schedule. Meanwhile, Rodgers earned his first Pro Bowl berth, nearly breaking the franchise s single-season record for passing yards, and veteran cornerback Charles Woodson was named the NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Unfortunately, the late-season surge ended abruptly with a sudden-death overtime loss at Arizona in the NFC Wild Card contest, but McCarthy had gotten the Packers back on track toward the goal they would reach just a year later. 31 ON THE BRINK McCarthy brought the Packers to the brink of accomplishing that Super Bowl goal in just two years. Coming off an 8-8 rookie season that ended with a momentum-building, four-game winning streak, McCarthy led the Packers to a 13-3 mark in 2007 that was groundbreaking in many respects. The Packers tied the then-franchise record for victories in the regular season and won the club s first NFC North Division title since They also captured an NFC playoff bye and advanced to the conference championship game for the first time in a decade. It all earned McCarthy 2007 NFL Coach of the Year awards from Motorola and NFL Alumni, and he also was runner-up in Coach of the Year voting from The Associated Press. The championship he had set as the goal was within reach, as the Packers hosted the New York Giants in the NFC title game on a frigid January day at Lambeau Field. The hard-fought, overtime defeat was an opportunity missed, but one Mc- Carthy vowed his team would learn from. On its way to 13-3, Green Bay secured the team s first playoff bye since 1997, and McCarthy tied Mike Sherman for the most wins by a Green Bay coach in his first two seasons with 21. Behind Brett Favre s superb final year in Green Bay and the emergence of Grant as the feature back, the Packers with Mc- Carthy as the play-caller finished with the league s secondranked offense, their highest ranking since They also compiled season totals in points (435) and net yards (5,931) that rank fifth on the franchise s all-time list. The postseason began in startling fashion, with Grant fumbling twice in the first minute of the game, setting up two Seattle scores for a 14-0 Seahawks lead in the NFC Divisional playoff. Drawing on a steadfastness that served the team well during some rough spots the previous year, McCarthy and the Packers never panicked and rallied for a dominant victory in the snowy winter wonderland of Lambeau Field. In advancing to the NFC Championship Game, McCarthy became the first Packers coach since Lombardi to lead the team to a title game in his second season at the helm. Though the quest for that championship came up short, Mc- Carthy had returned the Packers to playoff prominence just two years after the 4-12 season that preceded his arrival. A LEADER OF QUARTERBACKS In his first two seasons as head coach, McCarthy simultaneously oversaw a mini-renaissance of Favre s career and the development of Rodgers as his backup. Charged with learning McCarthy s version of the West Coast offense and given more latitude in making decisions at the line of scrimmage, Favre concluded his brilliant Green Bay career with a 95.7 passer rating in 2007, his best in 11 years and fourth best in his career, while completing a then-career-high 66.5 percent of his passes. Buying into McCarthy s aggressive but controlled approach, Favre s interceptions dropped from 29 in 2005 to 18 in 2006 to 15 in He finished second in the voting for what then would have been an unprecedented fourth NFL MVP award, and he subsequently passed the torch to Rodgers, his understudy for his final three years in Green Bay and McCarthy s prime pupil for the last four. Since taking over as the starter in 08, Rodgers hasn t disappointed his main tutor or team as he has developed into arguably the league s best quarterback. Rodgers has topped 4,000 yards passing three times ( , 11), which in 08, combined with Favre s total in 07, marked the first time in league history a team had two different quarterbacks throw for 4,000 yards in consecutive years. In the process, he also became the first quarterback in league history to surpass the 4,000-yard plateau in each of his first two seasons as a starter. In total, McCarthy has been on the coaching staff for five of the 10 4,000-yard passing seasons (1999, , 2011) in franchise history.

Additionally, his 1.8 career interception percentage is tops in NFL history. In 2011, Rodgers and McCarthy teamed up to author one of the greatest offensive seasons in NFL history, highlighted by the former Cal standout s passer rating that set a new NFL single-season record. He finished the season connecting on 343-of-502 passes (68.3 percent) for 4,643 yards and a careerhigh 45 TDs with six INTs on his way to earning NFL MVP honors. His 45 TD passes obliterated the franchise single-season record (Favre, 39 in 1996) and is the fifth-highest total in NFL annals, while his 4,643 passing yards also set a new franchise record. He is the only 4,000-yard passer in NFL history to throw six or fewer INTs in that season. Rodgers also set an NFL single-season record with 11 consecutive 110-rating games, topping 49ers QB Steve Young s mark of seven straight in 1994, and 12 consecutive 100-rating games, besting Manning s mark of nine in Rodgers finished the season just as impressively, ranking second in the league in TD passes (45), first in yards per attempt (9.25), second in completion percentage (68.3), fourth in yards per game (309.5) and first in TD/INT ratio (7.50). Rodgers has also enjoyed success in the postseason under SUCCESS WITH QUARTERBACKS 32 McCarthy, setting an NFL record with 10 passing TDs in his first three postseason starts. He also became only the fourth signalcaller to throw for 300 yards and three TDs in a Super Bowl on his way to earning game MVP honors for Super Bowl XLV. SOLID FIRST YEAR Blending a mix of young players with seasoned veterans at key positions, McCarthy fostered a strong team dynamic in his maiden season that helped the team battle back from a slow start. McCarthy stuck to his plan and his vision as his team stood 1-4 at the bye week and 4-8 with one quarter of the season to play. By turning the team s fortunes around to finish 8-8, he had laid the foundation for the success to come. McCarthy got his team to bounce back from tough circumstances to remain in the NFC playoff hunt until the final week. The.500 record tied for third best among the seven rookie coaches in the NFL in Close losses early to eventual NFC runner-up New Orleans and St. Louis put the Packers at 1-4. But the team used the bye week for extra preparation as well as rest, traveling to Miami to beat the Dolphins in oppressive south Florida heat and, three weeks later, posting another impressive road win at Minnesota s Metrodome to improve to 4-5. Three straight losses to eventual playoff qualifiers dropped Mike McCarthy has worked with quarterbacks who have collectively earned 37 Pro Bowl selections and seven NFL Most Valuable Player awards.

21 the Packers to 4-8, but again McCarthy used a long road trip to get the team back on track. This one was to San Francisco, where McCarthy had served as offensive coordinator the previous year, and a big win that coincided with a key personnel change provided the springboard to a strong final month. McCarthy moved defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins to end early in the 49ers game, and the defense quickly improved. The Packers run defense got a boost on early downs and allowed for a better situational pass rush, and the defense climbed to 12th overall by season s end. The strong defensive play and Favre s veteran leadership fueled a season-ending, four-game winning streak, the final three wins coming over NFC North opponents. A 26-7 win at Chicago in the season finale over the eventual NFC champion Bears put the Packers at 5-1 in the division and barely out of the playoffs, losing a tiebreaker with the Giants, who also finished 8-8. That impressive early showing within the division was a sign of things to come for McCarthy. Through six seasons, he has posted a 27-9 (.750) record against NFC North foes, a divisional mark that ranks first in the conference over that span and No. 2 in the NFL, trailing only New England. The Packers have posted a winning record in their division every season with McCarthy at the helm, joining the Patriots as the only teams to do so over that span. THE RIGHT FIT With a personality to match his blue-collar hometown, Mc- Carthy landed his first NFL head-coaching job in his kind of place. A Pittsburgh native, McCarthy was named the 14th head coach of the Green Bay Packers on Jan. 12, 2006, the only step left to take after 13 years as an NFL assistant. But while he previously had traveled through NFL cities such as Kansas City, New Orleans and San Francisco, it may be Green Bay that most resembles his native Pittsburgh. And if there was one word used to describe McCarthy s hiring in his first days with the Packers, it was that he was the right fit, both for a town and a team looking to turn around a disappointing 4-12 season in The way McCarthy fits Green Bay, however, goes beyond the toughness in his personality, down-to-earth demeanor, and pride in his upbringing. He not only spent one of those 13 previous years in the NFL with Green Bay, but he took over the Packers already wellversed in the West Coast offense with a reputation for developing offensive talent, particularly at the quarterback position. McCarthy is known for taking a hands-on teaching approach with young players and has been well-respected around the league, in part because he had called plays for six seasons as an offensive coordinator before becoming a head coach. Plus, he has tutored an impressive roster of NFL quarterbacks. While two of the biggest names he has worked with, Favre in Green Bay and Joe Montana in Kansas City, were at or beyond their peak years at the time, McCarthy has played at least a part in the development of signal callers Aaron Brooks, Jake Delhomme, Matt Hasselbeck, Matt Flynn, Marc Bulger, Rich Gannon and Elvis Grbac. The entire stable of quarterbacks that McCarthy has worked with, which also includes Jeff Blake, Steve Bono and Dave Krieg, has combined for 37 career Pro Bowl selections, 10 Super Bowl starts, and seven Most Valuable Player awards. McCarthy s newest protégé to rise to a starting role is Rodgers, who was drafted in the first round in General Manager Ted Thompson heavily weighed McCarthy s track record with quarterbacks when he hired him the following year, knowing that since the post-favre era was inevitable, the right tutelage at the game s most important position would be key to a smooth and successful transition. 33 PAYING HIS DUES Much like those players he worked with who rose to prominence, McCarthy paid plenty of dues along the way to his first head-coaching job. He learned a disciplined and no-nonsense approach to life at an early age. His father, Joe, was a longtime firefighter and police officer who also owned a bar near a Pittsburgh steel mill. McCarthy worked odd jobs at the bar as a teen. It was interacting with the hard-working tavern clientele while also watching a father in uniform dedicated to public service that helped make McCarthy proud of where he came from. After his playing career as a tight end at Baker University (Kan.) ended, his 26-year coaching career began as a linebackers coach at Fort Hays State (Kan.) in He cracked the Division I ranks two years later as a volunteer assistant at the University of Pittsburgh. It was there he displayed the will and determination to make it in the coaching profession, working for free on the football field by day and collecting tolls along the Pennsylvania turnpike during the graveyard shift to make ends meet. He soon moved into a paid position at Pitt assisting with the quarterbacks, and then coaching the wide receivers, before Panthers head coach Paul Hackett recommended him to the Kansas City Chiefs when they hired Hackett as offensive coordinator in McCarthy joined Hackett on the Chiefs staff as a quality-control assistant. McCarthy considers Hackett the biggest influence in his coaching career, having learned the West Coast offense from him and then installing it himself as offensive coordinator in New Orleans. It was under Hackett s wing that McCarthy developed the attention to detail, scouting and game-planning skills that would help him move up the NFL ranks. OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS The third-youngest head coach in the NFL when he was hired at age 42 (the Saints Sean Payton was seven weeks younger and the Jets Eric Mangini was 35), McCarthy took over a team coming off its first losing season since 1991, before Favre arrived as quarterback. Thompson made it clear when he hired McCarthy he wasn t looking for just an X s and O s guy. He was looking for someone who would impress him with a variety of qualities, including leadership ability, toughness, football knowledge, and an awareness of the Green Bay organization and the team s unique place within the NFL and the local community. McCarthy, who had interviewed for the Cleveland Browns head-coaching job five years earlier but admits he wasn t necessarily ready then, fit the bill. In his introductory news conference, he spoke of how taking over the Packers was like buying his dream house, with the foundation, tradition and resources to help him make the team a championship contender once again. McCarthy emphasized he didn t feel the Packers were in a rebuilding mode at all, but there was work to be done right away. He wasted no time constructing the environment he wanted for his team, implementing free weights as the foundation for the players strength and conditioning. McCarthy also installed an offseason workout program, and a then-record attendance at those sessions spoke volumes about the level of respect he quickly commanded as a head coach. CAREER AS NFL ASSISTANT McCarthy broke into the NFL as a quality-control assistant with the Kansas City Chiefs in It was then he worked with Montana before moving up to quarterbacks coach from , working with starters Gannon, Grbac and Bono. The trio s total of 52 interceptions marked the lowest total in the AFC over that four-year span. After working with McCarthy from , Gannon went on to earn all four of his Pro Bowl selections, the 2002 league MVP COACHES COACHING STAFF/MIKE MCCARTHY VETERANS 2011 REVIEW MISC.

Gannon credits McCarthy with helping him take the quarterback s game to a higher level. He s the guy that really helped catapult my career, Gannon said. He was the guy who really taught me the West Coast system of football. He really taught me how to prepare for a game, taught me how to watch film, how to break down an opponent, how to study. It was really those things I took with me to Oakland. There was never a doubt in my mind he d be a head coach. He s a great play-caller, great working with the quarterbacks. He s a tough guy, a guy willing to do the work, and he s a leader. When Gannon left the Chiefs for Oakland in 1999, McCarthy departed Kansas City to become Green Bay s quarterbacks coach. That year, the Packers ranked seventh in the NFL in passing and ninth in total offense. Favre threw for 4,091 yards, the third-highest total in his career at that point. The following year, McCarthy began a successful five-year stint as the offensive coordinator of the New Orleans Saints. It became the most prolific offensive era to that point in the team s four decades, as the Saints set 10 offensive team records and 25 individual marks. Among the more notable accomplishments, the Saints led the NFC with 432 points and 49 touchdowns in 2002, both team records at the time. In his first season in 2000, McCarthy was chosen NFC Assistant Coach of the Year by USA Today. That year the Saints produced their first 1,000-yard receiver in eight years in Joe Horn, and their first 1,000-yard rusher in 10 years in Ricky Williams. After that decade-long drought of 1,000-yard rushers, the Saints had one (either Williams or Deuce McAllister) in each of McCarthy s five seasons running the offense. In 2005, McCarthy served as offensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers. COLLEGE COACHING & PLAYING CAREER McCarthy began his six-year collegiate coaching career as a graduate assistant at Fort Hays State in Hays, Kan., in 1987, just after completing his playing career at nearby Baker University in Baldwin City, Kan. At Baker, McCarthy earned a degree in business administration and was an all-conference tight end and senior captain in 1986, helping lead the Wildcats to an NAIA Division II national runner-up finish. He was inducted into the school s athletic hall of fame in October At Fort Hays State under head coach John Vincent, McCarthy coached linebackers for two years while earning a master s degree in sports administration. The return to his hometown came in 1989 under Pittsburgh head coach Mike Gottfried, now an ESPN college football analyst, followed by three years under Hackett with the Panthers. As quarterbacks coach, McCarthy worked with Alex Van Pelt, now the Packers running backs coach, as he topped the school s career and single-season records for passing yards established by Dan Marino. PERSONAL Born Michael John McCarthy on Nov. 10, 1963, in Pittsburgh, he grew up one of five children in the Irish-Catholic family of father Joe and mother Ellen in Greenfield, a Pittsburgh neighborhood just a couple of miles from downtown. He graduated from Bishop Boyle High School in Homestead, Pa. McCarthy s family includes wife Jessica and children Alexandra, Jack, George, Gabrielle and Isabella. Since returning to Green Bay in 2006, McCarthy has immersed himself in the local community and beyond through participation in numerous philanthropic events and charitable donations. Perhaps closest to his heart is the Mike & Jessica McCarthy Golf Tournament. Established in June 2010, the tournament benefits the American Family Children s Hospital 34 in Madison, Wis. In just three years, the event has raised an impressive net total of more than $500,000, with contributions and participation increasing each year. In 2012, the tournament raised more than $270,000 in net profit, with proceeds going to the hospital s Sick Kids Can t Wait campaign. The campaign is designed to meet the needs of sick children by further developing and improving the resources and facilities at the hospital. Including projected contributions in 2012, the McCarthy Family Foundation has made donations of more than $1.5 million to benefit numerous charities, projects and institutions during his six-plus seasons as head coach. McCarthy established the foundation with the intent of fostering a long-term philanthropic commitment by his family beyond his NFL career. Among the beneficiaries of the Foundation s contributions are the aforementioned American Family Children s Hospital, Baker University, the Seven Loaves Project of Green Bay, the Autism Society of Northeast Wisconsin, the Boys & Girls Club of Green Bay and a group of organizations (St. Rosalia Academy, Greensburg Central Catholic, the Greenfield Baseball Association and the Greenfield Organization) in his native Greenfield Neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Most recently, the Foundation made a $100,000 contribution to the Little Sisters of the Poor during the 2012 offseason in honor of McCarthy s high school coach, Fran Mannion. McCarthy s local-event participation is highlighted annually by the Mike McCarthy Cystic Fibrosis Celebrity Golf Open. The 2012 event marked the 26th consecutive year that the Open was hosted by the current Packers head coach, a tradition started by Lindy Infante. The golf outing benefits local and statewide cystic fibrosis organizations and has raised more than $600,000. Additionally, McCarthy has served as honorary chairperson for the local Cerebral Palsy Telethon and worked with the American Heart Association on its Red Cap campaign to recognize heart disease and stroke survivors and raise awareness of those conditions. In the past, he has participated in the Lombardi Award of Excellence Dinner Ball, which supports the Vince Lombardi Charitable Funds in the fight against cancer, and served as host of the Green & Gold Gala, a fundraiser for Family Services of Northeast Wisconsin. He has also spent time visiting cancer patients at Aurora St. Luke s Medical Center in Milwaukee. Among several other events, McCarthy has participated in Jerry Parins Cure for Cancer Motorcycle Ride, the Edgar Bennett Celebrity Bowl-A-Thon, the team s regular Make-A-Wish Foundation practice and game visits, and various local Get Motivated seminars. McCarthy was honored with the Distinguished Service Award at the Lee Remmel Sports Awards Banquet in April 2008, and then in the fall as the 2008 Person of the Year from his native Greenfield Neighborhood. He was also voted by the fans as the 2007 Motorola Coach of the Year, and in 2011 was named the Maxwell Football Club s NFL Coach of the Year.

23 WINSTON MOSS ASSISTANT HEAD COACH/INSIDE LINEBACKERS 14th Season as NFL Coach Seventh Packers Season COACHING STAFF 2011 REVIEW MISC. Entering his 25th season in the NFL and seventh with the Packers, Winston Moss begins his fifth year in the role of assistant head coach, with inside linebacker responsibilities for the fourth season. Named to the current post by Head Coach Mike McCarthy on Jan. 15, 2007, Moss impressed McCarthy with his leadership skills when the two worked together for five seasons in New Orleans and again in 2006 in Green Bay. Moss continues to coach linebackers as well, his original duty upon joining the Packers. His position responsibility was modified to inside linebackers in 09 with the switch to a 3-4 defense and the addition of outside linebackers coach Kevin Greene to the staff. Since Moss was named assistant head coach in 07, the Packers rank No. 1 in the NFL in total takeaways (166), No. 1 in interceptions (126), No. 2 in opponent passer rating (73.1) and No. 4 in points allowed (19.6). Under Moss guidance in 2011, Mack LB Desmond Bishop entered the season as the starter for the first time in his career and went on to be named a Pro Bowl alternate, registering career highs with a team-leading 142 tackles and five sacks despite missing three games due to a calf injury. With Bishop and starting Buck LB A.J. Hawk both sidelined with injuries in December, a pair of young linebackers, second-year man Robert Francois and rookie D.J. Smith, were pressed into duty and responded under the direction of Moss. In his two starts (Weeks 13-14), Francois posted 17 total tackles, an interception and a forced fumble. He also recorded an INT at Detroit in Week 12 when he came in for an injured Hawk. Smith was the lone Green Bay rookie to appear in all 16 games in 2011, and his three starts paced the team s rookies. In those starts (Weeks 13-15), Smith led the team with 30 tackles over that span, while adding an INT vs. Oakland in Week 14. In 2010, Moss was a member of a staff that helped Green Bay finish No. 2 in the NFL in scoring defense at 15.0 points per game, the team s best mark since 1996 (13.1). The Packers finished No. 5 in overall defense, the team s second straight top-five ranking. It marked the first time since that Green Bay accomplished that feat in consecutive seasons. After veteran LB Nick Barnett was lost for the season in Week 4 due to a wrist injury, Bishop stepped into the starting role at Mack LB for the remainder of the season and flourished under Moss tutelage. Bishop finished second on the team with 121 tackles, while posting three sacks. His career-high 10 passes defensed were the most by a Packers LB since John Anderson recorded 15 in Hawk played in all 16 contests with 15 starts at the other insidelinebacker spot, the Buck position, and assumed more of an everydown role with nickel LB Brandon Chillar limited to just eight games due to a shoulder injury. Hawk paced the team with 134 tackles, his fifth straight season either leading the team or finishing second in the category. He added a career-high three interceptions, which tied for the lead among NFL linebackers, and matched his career best with nine passes defensed to earn Pro Bowl recognition for the first time in his career. In 09, Moss was part of a staff that guided the Packers defense to a No. 2 overall ranking in the league, the highest ranking since the 96 team finished as the No. 1 defense. Green Bay led the NFL in rushing defense for the first time in franchise history, and the average of 83.3 rushing yards allowed per game set a team record for any season. Barnett returned from a serious knee injury to start all 16 games at MLB and lead the team in tackles with 122 in 09, a franchise-record fifth time in his career that he led the squad in tackles. Barnett also registered a career-high four sacks and led the linebackers with eight passes defensed. Hawk started 14 games at BLB, finished second on the team to Barnett with 87 tackles and was selected as a Pro Bowl alternate. In 2008, with the addition of free-agent signee Chillar and the continued development of Bishop, Moss had a deep linebacking corps, AT A GLANCE Joined Packers on Jan. 19, 2006, as linebackers coach and was named assistant head coach/linebackers on Jan. 15, His position responsibility was modified to inside linebackers with addition of Kevin Greene to coaching staff in Since being named assistant head coach in 07, the Packers rank No. 1 in the NFL in total takeaways (166), No. 1 in interceptions (126), No. 2 in opponent passer rating (73.1) and No. 4 in points allowed (19.6).

Hawk made a rather seamless transition to middle linebacker to fill Barnett s spot, while Bishop and Chillar both contributed at Hawk s former weak-side position. The previous year, Moss helped Barnett continue his progression from steady performer to true team leader with a Pro Bowl-caliber year. Barnett was named second-team All-Pro after leading the Packers in tackles for the fourth time in five seasons and posting a (then) career-high 3½ sacks along with two interceptions and numerous big plays late in games. Moss spent a total of six seasons with the Saints, where he also coached linebackers. Originally hired by the Saints in 2000 as defensive assistant/quality control, he was promoted to linebackers coach near the end of that season to replace John Bunting, who departed to become head coach at the University of North Carolina. Moss began his coaching career in 1998 as a defensive quality-control assistant for the Seattle Seahawks, the club for whom he played his final three NFL seasons. A veteran of 11 seasons and 155 NFL games (146 starts), the former linebacker played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ( ) and the Los Angeles Raiders ( ), in addition to the Seahawks ( ). Over the course of his career, Moss recorded 768 tackles, 20½ sacks and six interceptions, and recovered one fumble for a TD. In 1993, when he led the Raiders in tackles on a team that advanced to the AFC Divisional playoffs, he earned the Ed Block Courage Award after a vote of his teammates. Moss also was a three-time defensive captain and received the 1996 NFL Players Association Unsung Hero Award while with the Seahawks. A four-year letterman at the University of Miami (Fla.), he and current Packers senior personnel executive Alonzo Highsmith helped the Hurricanes win the national championship after the 1983 season under Howard Schnellenberger. Born Dec. 24, 1965, in Miami, Fla., Moss attended Miami (Fla.) Southridge High School and was an all-state linebacker. Moss and his wife, Zoila, have three sons, Winston Jr., 18, Robert, 13, and Marcus, 10, and two daughters, Victoria, 17, and Isabella, 4. In his spare time, Moss enjoys spending time with his family and playing golf. COACHES VETERANS 2011 REVIEW MISC. 35

25 Tom Clements, entering his 20th season in the coaching profession, is in his first year as Green Bay s offensive coordinator. Now in his 16th overall NFL season, Clements was named to his current position on Feb. 2, 2012, after serving as Green Bay s quarterbacks coach for the previous six seasons ( ). Having originally joined the Packers on Jan. 29, 2006, Clements also served as offensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills from and quarterbacks coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers ( ), Kansas City Chiefs (2000) and New Orleans Saints ( ). In Green Bay, Clements extensive tutelage of Aaron Rodgers paid dividends, culminating with Rodgers 2011 campaign that saw him earn NFL Most Valuable Player honors from The Associated Press. Rodgers set an NFL record with a passer rating and franchise marks for TD passes (45), passing yards (4,643), completion percentage (68.3), yards per attempt (9.25), TD/INT ratio (7.50) and 300-yard games (eight). Rodgers career passer rating of ranks No. 1 in NFL history (min. 1,500 attempts), and his 17,037 passing yards from were the most by a quarterback in his first four seasons as a starter in NFL history, besting the previous mark held by Peyton Manning (16,418, ). From , Rodgers ranked No. 2 in the NFL in passing TDs (131), No. 1 in passer rating (105.0), No. 2 in yards per attempt (8.29) and No. 1 in 25-yard passes (150). In 62 regular-season starts under Clements guidance, Rodgers posted 22 games with 300- plus passing yards, 35 without an interception and 38 with a 100-plus passer rating. Clements helped Rodgers become the first QB in NFL history to register two seasons with 500-plus attempts and seven or fewer INTs (2009 and 2011) as well as the only 4,000-yard passer in league history to throw six or fewer INTs (2011). Rodgers ranks No. 1 in NFL history with a career interception percentage of 1.8. Clements also tutored former Packers QB Matt Flynn, a seventhround choice by the club in Flynn set single-game franchise records in the 2011 season finale with 480 passing yards and six TDs vs. Detroit, becoming just the third QB in NFL history (Y.A. Tittle, Joe Namath) to throw for 480-plus yards and six-plus TDs in a game. Combined with Rodgers career-high five TD passes the previous week vs. Chicago, it marked the first time in the history of the NFL that a team had two different QBs each throw five-plus TDs in consecutive games. Rodgers first 4,000-yard season in 2008, his debut season as a starter, gave the Packers 4,000-yard passers in consecutive seasons for just the second time in team history, and for the first time in league history those back-to-back 4,000-yard passers were different QBs. The previous two seasons, in addition to tutoring Rodgers as the backup and heir apparent, Clements oversaw a mini-renaissance of Brett Favre s career. In 2006, Favre reduced his interceptions from a career-high 29 the year before to just 18, setting the stage for a near- MVP season in 2007, when he surpassed 4,000 yards passing for the fifth time. He also posted a then career-best completion percentage of 66.5 and a QB rating of 95.7 that was his third best at that point in leading the Packers back to the playoffs. Before coming to Green Bay, Clements spent two seasons ( ) as offensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills. In 2004, the Bills offense increased its scoring output by 152 points and reduced its number of sacks allowed from 51 to 38, fewest by a Bills team since The unit was highlighted by RB Willis McGahee, who became the fifth running back in Bills history to register back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, covering each year of Clements tenure. In addition, QB Kelly Holcomb set a club record in 2005 with a completion percentage, surpassing Jim Kelly s 1991 mark, percent. Prior to joining the Bills, Clements served as Pittsburgh s quarterbacks coach for three seasons ( ) under Bill Cowher. In 2002, he helped Tommy Maddox earn the Comeback Player of the Year award from AP, as Pittsburgh s passing offense ranked seventh in the NFL, its highest finish since 1980 with Terry Bradshaw under center. Clements also worked with Pittsburgh s Kordell Stewart (2001) and Kansas City s Elvis Grbac (2000) during each quarterback s best season, both culminating in Pro Bowl berths. Mike Ditka gave Clements his first NFL coaching job, hiring him to coach the Saints quarterbacks 37 AT A GLANCE TOM CLEMENTS OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR 16th Season as NFL Coach Seventh Packers Season Joined Packers on Jan. 29, Promoted to offensive coordinator on Feb. 2, Possesses 20 years of coaching experience, including two seasons as an NFL offensive coordinator.

27 Entering his seventh year in the NFL, Shawn Slocum begins his fourth season as the Green Bay Packers special teams coordinator in 2012 after joining the club in 2006 as assistant special teams coach. Elevated to his current position by Head Coach Mike McCarthy on Feb. 3, 2009, following the retirement of Mike Stock, Slocum brings a total of 21 years of coaching experience to his post, the first 15 at the college level. Having originally joined the Packers on Feb. 6, 2006, Slocum s background in the college ranks has proven valuable in working with young players at the pro level. The 2011 season was one that saw the Packers get contributions from all areas of their special teams as the team ranked No. 13 overall in the Dallas Morning News annual postseason rankings, the club s highest finish since 2007 (No. 7). Last season, Slocum tutored rookie WR Randall Cobb, who ranked No. 2 in the NFL in kickoff return average (27.7) on his way to being named a Pro Bowl alternate and to the All-Rookie Team by Pro Football Weekly/PFWA. He became the first player in team history and the first NFL rookie since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger to register a 100- yard kickoff return and an 80-yard punt return in the same season, highlighted by his NFL-record-tying 108-yard kickoff return for a TD in the opener vs. New Orleans, the team s first kickoff return for a TD since Under Slocum s direction in 2011, K Mason Crosby set a new career high for field-goal percentage (85.7 percent, 24-of-28) on his way to being named first alternate for the Pro Bowl. He finished No. 4 in the NFL among kickers with 140 points, No. 3 in the league with a careerhigh 49 touchbacks, and his franchise-record 68 extra points were the second most in a season in NFL history. His streak of 23 consecutive field goals made (Week 13, Week 12, 2011) set a team record, topping Chris Jacke s mark of 17 straight in In his second season in 2011, P Tim Masthay established new franchise records for both gross (45.6) and net punting averages (38.6). He became the first punter in franchise history to land four punts inside the 20-yard line in consecutive games when he did so at Detroit and at the N.Y. Giants in Weeks 12-13, earning NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance against the Giants. In 2011, special-teams penalties by the Packers were cut in half from the year before, as just nine accepted fouls went against Green Bay during the regular season, a total that tied with New England for the second fewest in the NFL. In 2010, Slocum guided first-year man Masthay to a 37.6-yard net average, which matched the best mark by a Packers punter to that point since 1976 (Jon Ryan, 2007). In 2009, Slocum s first year as coordinator, LB Desmond Bishop, S Derrick Martin and TE Spencer Havner each recorded 20-plus tackles on special teams, the first Green Bay trio to accomplish that feat since In his three seasons as Green Bay s special teams assistant, Slocum helped tutor CB Will Blackmon as he tied the franchise record with three punt returns for touchdowns, accomplishing that feat over a two-year span ( ). Along with his special teams duties, Slocum also previously assisted Winston Moss in coaching the linebackers. Slocum joined the Packers from the University of Mississippi, where he served one year as assistant head coach and linebackers coach. Under Slocum s tutelage, LB Patrick Willis garnered first-team All-America honors from CollegeFootballNews.com and The Associated Press as a junior and was a semifinalist for the Chuck Bednarik Award, given annually to the nation s outstanding defensive player. One year later, Willis was drafted in the first round by the San Francisco 49ers.

28 COACHING STAFF MISC REVIEW VETERANS COACHES Edgar Bennett begins his 20th NFL season in 2012, his 18th in Green Bay and his second as the Packers wide receivers coach after six seasons as running backs coach. Named to his newest position on Feb. 25, 2011, by Head Coach Mike McCarthy, Bennett originally became a position coach on Jan. 28, 2005, for the running backs. He was re-named to that post on Jan. 17, 2006, for McCarthy s first season at the helm. He continues his third Green Bay tour after initially rejoining the club to head player development ( ), and after a tenure as one of the most productive running backs in Green Bay history ( ). To further enhance his mastery and understanding of the passing game, Bennett embraced his appointment to the front of the wide receivers meeting room in Under his watch, the group posted one of the most productive seasons in franchise history, setting new team records and finishing first in the NFL among receiving corps in yards (3,667), yards per game (229.2) and touchdowns (38). The touchdown total was the second highest in league history by a receiver group and all five players at the position posted 25 or more catches for the first time in franchise annals. In what was a testament to the intense emphasis on ball security that marked Bennett s career as a player and now as a coach, the receiver group did not commit a turnover in 2011, despite a combined 237 touches on offense. On an individual level, Bennett helped guide Greg Jennings to his second consecutive Pro Bowl berth during a season that saw the sixth-year pro on pace for several career highs before a knee injury kept him out of the final three regular-season games. Additionally, he was instrumental in the development and emergence of fourth-year WR Jordy Nelson, who posted new career highs in every major statistical category and was named an alternate for the Pro Bowl. Nelson led the team with 68 catches for 1,263 yards and an impressive 15 touchdowns, the third most in team history. The TD mark ranked No. 3 in the NFL and his per-reception average of 18.6 yards was the second highest in the league among players with 50 or more catches in Prior to his transition to becoming wide receivers coach, Bennett oversaw the development of several key running backs in Green Bay s stable from James Starks was a sixth-round draft pick in 2010 who missed all of training camp and the first 11 games of his rookie season recovering from a hamstring injury this after missing his senior season in college following shoulder surgery. But when Starks was healthy, Bennett got him ready to go. He rushed for 73 yards in his NFL debut vs. San Francisco (Dec. 5) and added a franchise rookie playoff-record 123 yards in the NFC Wild Card game at Philadelphia (Jan. 9). Starks was needed during the team s stretch run because of a seasonending ankle injury to Ryan Grant in Week 1, who became just the third running back in team history to eclipse 1,200 yards in back-to-back seasons in Grant rapidly progressed in 2007, his first season with the Packers, upon coming to the team in a trade at the end of training camp. Quickly brought up to speed under Bennett s tutelage, Grant emerged from a backfield-by-committee to become the starter at midseason, went on to rush for nearly 1,000 yards (including five 100-yard performances), and then set Green Bay postseason records with 201 yards and three touchdowns in a playoff victory over Seattle. In 2006, Bennett oversaw the strong recovery from a torn quadriceps tendon by Ahman Green, whose sixth 1,000-yard season set a franchise record. In his first season as a full-time coach in 2005, Bennett saw the team start five halfbacks and feature six after season-ending injuries claimed Green and Najeh Davenport (ankle). A rib injury also sidelined No. 3 back Tony Fisher for two games. Faced with steep adversity, Bennett took Samkon Gado, a non-drafted player fresh off the practice squad, and guided him to the second-most productive season by a rookie running back in franchise history. Gado, who had started only two games at Liberty University, ran for 582 yards, including three 100-yard games. Initially joining the club as its director of player development April 10, 2001, Bennett spent four years helping players become acclimated to their roles as Green Bay Packers, both on and off the field, especially in terms of their expected contributions to their teammates, the com- 40 EDGAR BENNETT WIDE RECEIVERS Eighth Season as NFL Coach 12th Packers Season AT A GLANCE First joined Packers on April 10, 2001, to head player development department; promoted to running backs coach on Jan. 28, 2005, and re-named to the position by Mike McCarthy on Jan. 17, 2006; named to new post as wide receivers coach on Feb. 25, Enjoyed an outstanding first season as the team s receivers coach in 2011, tutoring a group that set franchise records for yards (3,667), yards per game (229.2) and touchdowns (38), while seeing all five players at the position collect at least 25 catches, a franchise first.

29 James Campen begins his ninth campaign as a Packers coach, his 14th overall with the organization. Promoted to offensive line coach on Jan. 15, 2007, by Head Coach Mike McCarthy, Campen moved up from his position as assistant offensive line coach in McCarthy s first season at the helm. Prior to that, Campen filled the role of assistant offensive line/quality control coach for two seasons following nine years in the high school ranks. In each of Campen s five seasons in his current position, the Packers have finished in the top 10 in the league in total offense. In 2011, the line helped the offense set franchise records for points (560), also the second most in NFL history; total net yards (6,482); total net passing yards (4,924); and fewest giveaways (14). QB Aaron Rodgers was named the NFL Most Valuable Player by The Associated Press after setting an NFL single-season record for passer rating (122.5) and team marks for touchdown passes (45), passing yards (4,643) and completion percentage (68.3). A natural teacher, he has frequently taken young linemen and prepared them to be significant contributors in the early stages of their careers. Last season, Campen tutored second-year T Marshall Newhouse, who didn t see any action as a rookie in He went on to start 13 contests (10 at LT, three at RT) in 2011 with veteran LT Chad Clifton missing significant time due to injuries and secondyear RT Bryan Bulaga also sidelined for four games. Under Campen s guidance, veteran C Scott Wells earned Pro Bowl recognition in 2011 for the first time in his career as he became the first Green Bay center to be honored since Mike Flanagan in Wells also was named first-team All-Pro by Sports Illustrated, while RG Josh Sitton was named a Pro Bowl alternate for the second straight season.

Sitton was named the 2010 Offensive Lineman of the Year by the NFL Alumni Association and was selected as a Pro Bowl alternate. In 2009, Sitton started every game at RG in just his second season in the league, while T.J. Lang played three different positions over the course of his rookie year and started games at both tackle spots when needed. Even though injuries contributed to the Packers utilizing six different starting combinations along the line in 09, RB Ryan Grant posted career highs in rushing yards (1,253) and touchdowns (11), and Rodgers was sacked just 10 times over the final seven games. In the first two years at his current post, Campen also worked hands-on in the development of three linemen Colledge, Jason Spitz and Tony Moll who ended up starting a combined 103 games from In 2007, the unit allowed only 19 sacks all season, and Clifton earned his first Pro Bowl appearance. Campen made the transition from assistant offensive line coach smoothly, having worked extensively with Colledge, Spitz and Moll when all three were rookie draft choices in Alongside Joe Philbin, Campen helped teach the zone-blocking scheme to the youngsters and the veterans, who all relate well to him as a former player. In 2005, Campen made his mark tutoring young linemen as Wells, then in just his second year, filled in at center for an injured Flanagan on several occasions and for eight games at guard after coaches altered the lineup.

Offensive Assistant Green Bay Packers...Assistant Offensive Line 2011 Green Bay Packers...Running Backs 2012 Green Bay Packers...Tight Ends Jerry Fontenot begins his seventh season with the Packers and his first as tight ends coach in He was moved to his new post on Feb. 13, 2012, as part of a staff shuffling on the offensive side of the ball that followed the departure of former offensive coordinator Joe Philbin, who was named head coach of the Miami Dolphins. The tight ends assignment is another in the line of many that have highlighted the early portion of Fontenot s coaching career, one that started with an internship in the summer of Before being assigned to the tight ends, Fontenot received his first position-group appointment on Feb. 25, 2011, when Head Coach Mike McCarthy placed him in command of the team s running backs. In what was a prolific offensive season that saw the Packers score the second-most points in NFL history (560), the running backs played a key role in providing a balance to what was the most productive yardage offense in franchise annals (6,482 yards). Primary contributions from the backfield came from veteran running back Ryan Grant and second-year man James Starks, who became the first pair of Green Bay backs to eclipse the 550-yard mark in the same season since Edgar Bennett and Dorsey Levens did so in Grant returned from a season-ending ankle injury that shelved him for almost all of 2010 and hit his stride as the season wore on, particularly in the last four games, when he carried 42 times for 243 yards (5.8 avg.) and two TDs. Starks started strong on the heels of what was a productive 2010 postseason, posting 503 yards on 109 carries (4.6 avg.) in the first nine games. Fontenot also helped guide the success of John Kuhn, the veteran fullback who was voted to start the Pro Bowl for the NFC at season s end, the first time he d been named to the all-star team. Additionally, Kuhn earned second-team All-Pro honors from The Associated Press and led the team s backs with six total touchdowns (four rushing, two receiving), becoming the first Packer to score both a rushing and receiving TD in four consecutive seasons since Ahman Green did so from Fontenot originally joined the Packers in the summer of 2006 as a coaching intern and remained with the team that season as an offensive assistant, working with the offensive line. He was promoted to assistant offensive line coach by McCarthy on Jan. 15, 2007, and spent the next four seasons in that role. During his five seasons working with the offensive line, Fontenot contributed to the development of several linemen. In 2010, veteran LT Chad Clifton earned Pro Bowl recognition for the second time in his career as he started all 16 contests. Rookie Bryan Bulaga started 12 games at RT after veteran Mark Tauscher was lost for the season due to a shoulder injury, and went on to earn All-Rookie honors from Pro Football Weekly/ PFWA. RG Josh Sitton was named the 2010 Offensive Lineman of the Year by the NFL Alumni Association and was selected as a Pro Bowl alternate. In 2009, Sitton started every game at RG in just his second season, while rookie T.J. Lang played three different positions at times and started games at both tackle spots when needed. From , the 06 draft trio of Daryn Colledge, Jason Spitz and Tony Moll combined for 103 starts. A starting center for the New Orleans Saints during McCarthy s five-year tenure there as offensive coordinator, Fontenot made an indelible impression on McCarthy with his leadership, intelligence, and the respect he commanded in the locker room, qualities he displayed in his first foray into coaching. Not far removed from his playing days, which concluded after 16 seasons in 2004, Fontenot quickly showed he could relate well to players, prompting McCarthy to retain Fontenot in a fulltime capacity in 2007 with the promotion of Philbin to offensive coordinator and James Campen to offensive line coach. A longtime center, Fontenot played 239 NFL games with the Bears, Saints and Bengals from 1989 through 2004, proving to be extremely durable as a player. Originally a third-round draft choice by Chicago in 1989, Fontenot began a starting streak of 106 games in 1991 with the Bears that continued through his first one-plus seasons with the Saints, whom he joined in 1997 as an unrestricted free agent. That streak ended with a season-ending knee injury in October Returning at the start of the 1999 season, Fontenot then started 80 consecutive games for the Saints through the end of the 2003 season before finishing his career with the Bengals in Fontenot was named a USA Today All-Joe Team selection in 2002 for his excellence without fanfare and his enduring leadership qualities. In all, Fontenot played on four playoff teams, three with the Bears (1990, 91, 94) and one with the Saints (2000). He spent his first year out of football in 2005 working in broadcasting in the Chicago area, handling various football assignments with both WGN and ESPN, before deciding to give coaching a try, which he feels provides more fuel for his passion for the game. A standout at Texas A&M and a sociology major, Fontenot played every position on the offensive line in college and helped lead the Aggies to three consecutive Southwest Conference titles from 1985 through He earned all-conference honors three times and was an honorable mention All-American as a junior and senior. Born Nov. 21, 1966, in Lafayette, La., Fontenot was a foursport star at Lafayette High School, earning all-state honors twice in football, finishing as state runner-up twice in the discus, and winning a state championship in baseball. He and his wife, Stephanie, have three daughters Gabrielle, Madeleine and Camille. 42

33 Ben McAdoo begins his seventh season with the Packers, his first as the team s quarterbacks coach. McAdoo was appointed to his current position on Feb. 13, 2012, by Head Coach Mike McCarthy, as part of a series of staff changes on the offensive side of the ball that came in the aftermath of former coordinator Joe Philbin being named head coach of the Miami Dolphins. In his new role, McAdoo will work closely with reigning NFL Most Valuable Player Aaron Rodgers as he enters his fifth season as the franchise s starter under center. Prior to drawing his most recent assignment, McAdoo served as the team s tight ends coach for six seasons. In 2011, he helped fourth-year pro Jermichael Finley make his return to the field following a season-ending knee injury suffered in Finley was named a Pro Bowl alternate after playing in all 16 games for the first time and setting new career highs with 767 yards and eight touchdowns, while matching his previous career best with 55 catches and becoming the first tight end in franchise history to post two 55-catch seasons. In addition to Finley, McAdoo helped develop second-year men Tom Crabtree and Andrew Quarless into adept blockers up front. Quarless appeared in 10 games before suffering a season-ending knee injury of his own in Week 13 and Crabtree played in all 16 games, starting a career-high nine of them. In 2010, Finley got off to a torrid start under McAdoo s tutelage, posting 21 catches for 301 yards and a touchdown in the opening four games. That included back-to-back 100-yard receiving performances as Finley joined Paul Coffman (1979) as the only TEs in team annals to accomplish that feat. Finley s three career 100-yard games already rank No. 2 in franchise history behind Coffman (six). After Finley sustained his knee injury on the opening series at Washington in Week 5, Quarless, then a rookie, and Crabtree, who held a first-year player designation, moved into more significant roles under McAdoo s guidance. Quarless went on to post 21 receptions for 238 yards, the best marks by a Green Bay rookie TE in both categories since Bubba Franks (34-363) in Quarless 62 receiving yards at Detroit in Week 14 were the most by a Packers rookie TE since Ron Kramer posted 68 at Detroit on Nov. 28, In 2009, McAdoo oversaw one of the most productive seasons in team history by the tight ends. With the emergence of youngsters Finley and Spencer Havner, along with another year of steady production from veteran Donald Lee, Green Bay s tight ends posted a collective 99 receptions for 1,048 yards, franchise records in both categories. Finley (55 receptions) and Lee (37) became the first tight-end duo in franchise history to each post 35-plus receptions in the same season, and they were one of only two tandems in the league to do so in 2009, along with New Orleans Jeremy Shockey and David Thomas. Meanwhile, with Finley (five TDs) and Havner (four), the Packers were the only team in the NFL to have two tight ends catch at least four touchdown passes apiece. The emergence of Finley, a third-round draft choice in 2008, was not a surprise after seeing the marked improvement he made in his first season. McAdoo helped Finley steadily learn the pro game as a rookie, and Finley flashed his tremendous potential over the final two games of the season, posting three receptions for 64 yards and his first NFL touchdown. In 2007, it was former backup Lee enjoying a breakout year as he moved into a starting role. Lee posted career highs with 48 catches for 575 yards and six touchdowns, and he followed that up with consistent production in to become the first Packers tight end since Coffman ( ) to catch at least 35 passes in three consecutive seasons. Upon arriving in Green Bay in 2006, McAdoo helped the Packers tight ends adapt successfully to additional blocking and passprotection duties they hadn t previously been assigned. The added assistance helped a young offensive line, with as many as three rookie starters at times, allow just 24 sacks all season. Originally named to the tight ends post Jan. 17, 2006, the 35-yearold McAdoo replaced Philbin, who was then the lone holdover from 45 BEN MCADOO QUARTERBACKS Ninth NFL Season Seventh Packers Season AT A GLANCE Last name is pronounced Mack-ah-dew.

35 Chad Morton, a seven-year NFL veteran as a player, enters his fourth season with the Packers and third as special teams assistant coach. Named to his current position on Feb. 15, 2010, Morton originally joined the Packers as the team s coaching administrator in 2009, where part of his duties included assisting with the defensive and special teams units, before he moved into the role of special teams assistant. The 2011 season was a year of vast improvement for Green Bay s special teams units, one that saw them climb to the No. 13 overall position in the Dallas Morning News annual postseason rankings, the club s highest finish since Some of the biggest strides were made in the various aspects of the return game, where rookie wide receiver Randall Cobb was named a Pro Bowl alternate and to the Pro Football Weekly/PFWA All-Rookie team for his efforts as the team s primary returner. A former return specialist himself, Morton was instrumental in helping acclimate Cobb to the pro game in his inaugural campaign. Cobb finished with 34 kickoff returns for 941 yards and a touchdown, and finished the season ranked No. 2 in the NFL (first among rookies) with a 27.7-yard average, the third highest by a player in franchise history with more than 25 returns. Cobb was also a force on punt returns, where he ranked seventh in the league and second among rookies with an 11.3-yard average for the season. With an NFL-record-tying 108-yard kickoff return TD in the season opener vs. New Orleans and an 80-yard punt return TD vs. Minnesota in Week 10, Cobb became the first rookie in franchise history to score on both a kickoff and punt return in the same season. In the kicking game, both placekicker Mason Crosby and punter Tim Masthay had career seasons. Crosby set a new career high for field goal percentage (85.7 percent, converting 24-of-28) and finished No. 4 in the NFL among kickers with 140 points, becoming just the sixth player in league history to post two 140-point seasons. In his second season in 2011, Masthay continued to build off of the momentum and success he had in the second half of By season s end, he d established new franchise records for both gross and net punting averages (45.6 and 38.6 yards, respectively), including another strong finish that saw him post 48.1-yard (gross) and 43.6-yard (net) averages over the final 10 games. Additionally, Morton s commitment to assisting with the instruction of fundamentals and proper techniques has continued to help the Packers cut down on penalties in each of his two seasons. In 2011, special teams penalties were cut in half from the year before, as just nine accepted fouls went against Green Bay during the regular season, a total that tied with New England for second fewest in the NFL. During his playing career, Morton was a running back and kick/punt returner who began his career with New Orleans CHAD MORTON SPECIAL TEAMS ASSISTANT Third Season as NFL Coach Fourth Packers Season AT A GLANCE Entering his third season as special teams assistant after originally joining the Packers in 2009 as coaching administrator.

COACHING BACKGROUND Years College/Pro Team Position Coached 2009 Green Bay Packers... Coaching Administrator Green Bay Packers... Special Teams Assistant in 2000 as a fifth-round draft pick. Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy served as the Saints offensive coordinator at that time. Morton went on to play two seasons with the New York Jets ( ), two with Washington ( ) and two with the New York Giants ( ). Serving primarily as a returner as a pro, Morton tallied 5,401 career kickoff-return yards and three kick-return scores, as well as 1,431 career punt-return yards and one score, in 93 career games. He was selected as a Pro Bowl alternate as a returner in 02 and 05. While with the Jets in 2002, Morton returned two kickoffs for touchdowns in a contest at Buffalo, making him the fifth player in NFL history to return two kickoffs for scores in the same game. He is the only player in NFL history to return a kickoff for a TD in regulation and overtime in the same game and joins Chicago s Dave Williams (at Detroit, Nov. 27, 1980) as the only players in NFL history to return a kickoff for a TD in overtime. In 2000 with the Saints, Morton tied the NFL single-game playoff record with 13 receptions, against the Minnesota Vikings. Morton was an All-Pac-10 selection at Southern California, where he served as the team s primary running back his final two seasons. He led the team with 1,141 yards and 15 touchdowns on 262 carries as a senior, and he ranks 11th on the Trojans all-time rushing list with 2,511 career yards. He graduated from USC with a degree in sociology. Born April 4, 1977, in Torrance, Calif., Morton attended South High School in Torrance, where he played running back and also ran track.

36 COACHING STAFF MISC REVIEW VETERANS COACHES Darren Perry begins his fourth season with the Packers in 2012 as secondary safeties coach, his 11th season coaching in the NFL. Named to his position by Head Coach Mike McCarthy on Feb. 3, 2009, Perry has coached defensive backs in the NFL for the past 10 years and has tutored a Pro Bowl player in six of the last eight seasons. In 2011, Perry was faced with a series of challenges, starting with the task of helping to re-acclimate second-year man Morgan Burnett to live action after he d suffered a season-ending knee injury in the fourth game of his rookie campaign in While Burnett picked up close to where he d left off upon returning to the field in training camp, the group lost Pro Bowl free safety Nick Collins to a neck injury at Carolina in Week 2. With Collins sidelined, Burnett shifted to free safety and veteran Charlie Peprah was thrust into the starting lineup at strong safety for the second season in a row. The tandem went on to start the ensuing 14 games in the defensive backfield and combined for 203 tackles (163 solo), eight INTs, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. As a unit, the Packers intercepted an NFL-best 31 passes, the most by the franchise since 1962, and helped contribute to the team s takeaway total of 38, which was tied for No. 1 in the league. Burnett led the secondary with 107 tackles (83 solo) and joined NT B.J. Raji as the only two players on defense to start all 16 regularseason games. Burnett tallied 14 passes defensed and joined CB Charles Woodson as the only two players on the team to record a sack, an INT, a fumble recovery and a forced fumble during the season. Peprah set new career highs in every major statistical category, including tackles (96), interceptions (five), INT return yardage (147), and passes defensed (14). His five INTs were tied for third among NFL safeties and his return yardage ranked fourth leaguewide among all players. In 2010, a healthy Collins earned the aforementioned Pro Bowl recognition for the third straight season, becoming the first Green Bay safety since LeRoy Butler ( ) to accomplish that feat. After Burnett went down with the season-ending knee injury, Peprah moved into the starting lineup and put together what was then the finest season of his career under Perry s guidance, registering 64 tackles, two interceptions and seven passes defensed. He also finished second on the team with 26 tackles in the postseason. Collins and Peprah were members of a secondary that helped the Packers rank No. 1 in the league in opponent passer rating (67.2) in 2010, the best mark by a Green Bay defense since 1997 (59.0). The Packers also ranked No. 5 in the league in pass defense, allowing their opponents just yards per game. In 2009, Collins was named to the Pro Bowl and earned secondteam All-Pro honors from The Associated Press after finishing third among NFL safeties with six interceptions. SS Atari Bigby picked off four passes in 09 despite missing three games due to injury, giving the Packers their first safety tandem with four-plus interceptions each since 2002 (Darren Sharper, Marques Anderson). Collins and Bigby helped the Packers lead the NFL in both takeaways (40) and interceptions (30), the first time since 1965 that Green Bay led the league in interceptions. Perry was a member of a staff that guided the Packers defense to a No. 2 overall ranking in the league, the highest ranking since the 96 team finished as the No. 1 defense. Perry came to Green Bay from Oakland, where he coached the Raiders defensive backs for two seasons ( ). Cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha earned his second Pro Bowl selection and All- Pro honors from AP under Perry s tutelage, as the Raiders ranked in the top 10 each of those years in passing yards allowed. In 2008, Oakland allowed opponents to complete only 56.5 percent of their passes, tied for fourth best in the league. Perry spent the previous four seasons coaching defensive backs in Pittsburgh under Bill Cowher, the team and coach for whom he played the majority of his career. Perry was the Steelers assistant defensive backs coach in 2003 and was promoted to defensive backs coach in 2004, when the Steelers finished fourth in the league 48 DARREN PERRY SECONDARY SAFETIES 11th Season as NFL Coach Fourth Packers Season AT A GLANCE Joined Packers on Feb. 3, Enters his 20th season in the NFL, his 11th as a coach.

The versatile Polamalu also was an AP All-Pro pick twice (2004, 2005) with Perry as his position coach. Perry broke into the NFL coaching ranks in 2002, coaching safeties for the Cincinnati Bengals under head coach Dick LeBeau, one of the most respected defensive minds in the game, who also coached defensive backs for the Packers for four seasons ( ).

38 COACHING STAFF MISC REVIEW VETERANS COACHES Mike Trgovac (pronounced Terguh-vack) begins his fifth season with the Packers, his second stint with the team, and his 18th season overall in the NFL. Named to his current position by Head Coach Mike McCarthy on Feb. 3, 2009, Trgovac was also the Packers defensive line coach in 1999, the same year McCarthy was the team s quarterbacks coach. After Trgovac took over as the defensive line coach in 09, the Packers ranked No. 2 in the NFL in rushing touchdowns allowed (21) and No. 8 in rushing yards allowed (103.3 ypg) over that span. The 4,960 rushing yards allowed by Green Bay from were the fewest over a three-year span by the club since (4,864). Last season, Trgovac continued to oversee the development of DT B.J. Raji, who became the first Green Bay defensive tackle to be selected to the Pro Bowl since Bob Brown in Raji started all 16 contests for the second straight season and posted 43 tackles, three sacks, three passes defensed and a fumble recovery. In 2010, Raji started all 16 games in his second year and posted career highs in every statistical category on the way to being named a Pro Bowl alternate. His 6½ sacks were the most by an NFL nose tackle since Minnesota s Ken Clarke recorded seven in 1990, and his 66 tackles led all Green Bay linemen. Veteran DE Cullen Jenkins posted a career high in sacks as well under Trgovac s direction in 2010, recording seven despite missing five contests due to injury. Raji and Jenkins helped the Packers finish No. 2 in the league in sacks with 47, the highest league ranking in franchise history. Trgovac also tutored veteran DE Howard Green, a midseason waiver-wire pickup, as well as young ends C.J. Wilson and Jarius Wynn, as the three all made contributions to a line affected by injuries. In 2009, Trgovac directed a line that made the transition to the 3-4 defense and helped the Packers lead the NFL in rushing defense for the first time in franchise history. The average of 83.3 rushing yards allowed per game set a team record for any season, and the defense also set a team record by holding opponents to under 90 net yards rushing in 12 games. The Packers moved up 25 spots in the league rushing defense rankings from 08, the biggest one-year improvement in the history of the franchise. Trgovac came to Green Bay from Carolina, where he was the Panthers defensive coordinator for six seasons. In that time, Trgovac directed a defense that produced 10 Pro Bowl selections and ranked in the NFL s top 10 in both yards and points allowed three times. Most recently, that was in 2006, when the Panthers ranked seventh in the league in yards allowed (296.1) and eighth in points allowed (305). The previous year was statistically the Panthers best under Trgovac, as in 2005 they ranked third in yards (282.6), fifth in points (259) and first in takeaways (a team-record 42) in helping Carolina advance to its second NFC Championship Game in three seasons. His unit s ability to create turnovers had begun to show up in the second half of 2004, when the Panthers had 29 takeaways in the season s final eight games. The 38 total takeaways ranked second in the league and tied the club record at the time, and the defense s 26 interceptions were a league high and team record. Trgovac s inaugural season as a defensive coordinator featured his first top-10 unit. After promoting him from his post as the Panthers defensive line coach, Carolina ranked eighth in the league in yards (295.3) and 10th in points (304) in 2003, and held top-10 rankings in a handful of other categories. That defense also forced four turnovers and held the Eagles to a field goal in Carolina s 14-3 victory in the NFC Championship Game at Philadelphia, earning the Panthers their first Super Bowl berth. As defensive line coach in 2002, Trgovac oversaw a dramatic improvement in the Panthers front four that made a strong case for him taking over as coordinator. Carolina ranked third in the league with 39 sacks and first in rushing yards per attempt.

40 COACHING STAFF MISC REVIEW VETERANS COACHES Entering his sixth season in the NFL, Joe Whitt Jr. begins his fifth with the Green Bay Packers and fourth in his position of secondary cornerbacks coach. Originally named defensive quality control coach on March 7, 2008, by Head Coach Mike McCarthy, the 34-year-old Whitt was promoted to cornerbacks coach on Feb. 3, Whitt came to Green Bay after one year with the Atlanta Falcons as assistant defensive backs coach. He coached the previous five years in the college ranks, beginning with the 2002 season as wide receivers coach at The Citadel, followed by a four-year stint as cornerbacks coach and recruiting coordinator at Louisville. In 2011, the Packers led the league in interceptions (31) for the second time in the past three seasons, with 17 of those picks coming from Whitt s cornerbacks. Green Bay was the only team in the NFL to have three cornerbacks each register four or more interceptions (Charles Woodson, seven; Tramon Williams and Sam Shields, four each). The 31 interceptions by the team this past season brought the three-year total since 09, Whitt s first season as cornerbacks coach, to 85. It marked the most by the Packers over a three-year period since (95 INTs) and the most by an NFL team since Minnesota and San Francisco each posted 86 INTs from Of those 85 INTs, 43 of them came courtesy of Whitt s cornerbacks, the most in the league by a cornerback group over that span. Woodson s seven interceptions in 2011 tied him for the league lead as he earned his fourth straight Pro Bowl bid, the first Green Bay cornerback to do so since Herb Adderley ( ), as well as first-team All-Pro recognition from The Associated Press. Woodson also posted two sacks in 2011 as he became the first cornerback in franchise annals (since 1982) to register two-plus sacks in four consecutive seasons. Under Whitt s tutelage in 2011, Tramon Williams registered career highs with 65 tackles and a team-leading 24 passes defensed. Williams four interceptions gave him four or more picks for the fourth straight season, the only non-drafted player in the NFL to accomplish that feat over that span. Second-year CB Sam Shields posted career bests in INTs (four) and passes defensed (14) in the nickel-back role. In 2010, Whitt s work with Williams culminated in his first Pro Bowl bid. Williams led the team in interceptions (a career-high six) and passes defensed (23), and added three more interceptions in the playoffs, which tied the franchise single-postseason record. Whitt also was instrumental in the rapid development of the rookie Shields, another undrafted prospect who became the team s nickel back by the season opener despite playing the corner position only one season in college and helped the Packers advance to the Super Bowl with two interceptions in the NFC title game at Chicago. Woodson also posted career highs in tackles (105) and forced fumbles (five) and earned a Pro Bowl bid and second-team All-Pro honors in 10, when the Packers led the league in opponent passer rating (67.2) and finished second in interceptions (24). In 2009, Whitt was part of a staff that guided the Packers defense to a No. 2 overall ranking in the league, the highest ranking since the 96 team finished as the No. 1 defense. Green Bay led the league with 40 takeaways and 30 interceptions, the first time the Packers led the league in interceptions since 1965 (tied with Washington that season with 27). Also in 09, Woodson posted a career-high nine interceptions as part of perhaps his finest all-around season on his way to earning NFL Defensive Player of the Year Honors from AP as well as All-Pro honors from virtually every publication. Then 33, Woodson became the oldest defensive back to win the player of the year award and just the fifth cornerback to do so since the award s inception in Meanwhile, Williams, who took over as the starting RCB after veteran Al Harris suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 11, posted a (then) career-high and team-leading 22 passes defensed along with four interceptions under Whitt s guidance.
