Ha Ha Clinton-Dix (Green Bay Packers)

Most of the top offensive talent the Green Bay Packers have already reached at least one Pro Bowl, so the odds of yet another appeared with them still around are remote. That means the likeliest new face would have to come on defense and there is no doubt safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix is best position for that to happen. He’s a former 1st round pick, plays a highly advertised position and showed how much better he’s becoming last season.

Despite frequent struggles by the defense as a whole, Clinton-Dix did a little bit of everything. He finished with 100 tackles, three sacks, two interceptions and a forced fumble. In the playoffs he added another interception. So his game is reaching a point to where he can make things happen even against the toughest opponents. It’s just a matter of making enough of them to get the voters on his side. That is not long in coming.
