This is a slight contradiction to most of this thread so I thought I would post it. It is from the Packers' Public Relations department so take it for what it's worth.

What A Difference A Year Makes
Sherman praised the work of Ahmad Carroll, who has played cornerback on the first-team defense for all but a few practices.

"Carroll is a little bit more humble this year, quiet, doing his job," Sherman said. "I like him in practice. He's paying attention, staying focused."

Last year's 25th pick overall, cornerback Ahmad Carroll came in with the attitude of a first round draft pick last year. Although he started 11 games, officials repeatedly penalized the brash rookie with holding and illegal contact fouls.

During the offseason he worked on improving his footwork and using his hands less. Sherman said he could rebound in his second year much like another highly drafted player -- wide receiver Robert Ferguson -- did. So far, Carroll version 2.0 has impressed the staff.

"He's responded to the challenges we've put in front of him," Sherman said.
