Hawk Never Became the Star He Was Supposed to Be"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

The last time the Green Bay Packers<\/a> won the Super Bowl was on Feb. 6, 2011. They went 10-6 during the regular season before taking down the Philadelphia Eagles (21-16), Atlanta Falcons (48-21), Chicago Bears (21-14), and Pittsburgh Steelers (31-25) with Aaron Rodgers at the helm of the NFL<\/a>‘s 10th-ranked scoring offense. But defense was the squad's calling card, and linebacker A.J. Hawk led the unit in tackles with 111. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hawk spent each of his first nine seasons with the Packers, and he was one of the top collegiate players before he entered the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But even though he won a Super Bowl with Green Bay<\/a>, Hawk never developed into the game-breaking star he was supposed to be at the sport's highest level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A.J. Hawk had an impressive college career at Ohio State<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
