PHOTO: did Ha Ha Clinton-Dix foreshadow Green Bay drafting him 3 weeks ago?
With the 21st pick, the Green Bay Packers selected safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix of Alabama. Uncharacteristic of the Packers picking a guy that everybody expected them to pick; but why not? A safety was an obvious need in Green Bay and Ha Ha Clinton-Dix was, arguably, the best one available. This pick by the Packers does not solve all of their defensive woes, but it’s a great … [Read more...] about PHOTO: did Ha Ha Clinton-Dix foreshadow Green Bay drafting him 3 weeks ago?
