Great Post.

I see Driver as perhaps one of the most underrated players in the whole NFL and the MOST underrated by Packer Fans.We spent an entire off season jawing about Javon Walker but truth is I would rather have Driver suited up for 16 than Walker.If you look at the numbers from the last few years they are similar.I think talent wise Walker may hold the edge but with Driver's heart and work ethic he more than makes up for it.I would also go on the record to say that Driver is Brett's favorite reciever and has been for the last few years.Just my 2 cents but if its 3rd and 7 I would much rather see the ball go to Driver than Walker.

Great article by Havel. No need to turn this into Driver vs. Walker. They're both very good. What I remember most about Driver last year was how he came up huge in two road wins, at Houston and Minnesota. He's become one of my favorite players.
