Since being selected No. 5 overall by the Green Bay Packers in 2006, linebacker A.J. Hawk really hasn't lived up to the expectations that come with being a top selection. But he is still an important piece in the middle of the defense. Hawk was the leading tackler for the Packers in 2010 with 11, and he also recorded three interceptions.

He registered five tackles and one pass defensed in Super Bowl XLV.
