He has ball skills like a WR - which he was until his senior year at MIA. And IMO Tramon Williams played his best game this season last Sunday - I like his timing if he can keep it up.  IMO talent, instincts and ball skills are the most important traits for DBs and certainly more important than height. However, the Packers do favor taller CBs but by "tall" they mean about 6'. Note, every DB on the roster and PS is listed as at least 5'11" tall.  We all know Woodson at age 35 (and 6'1") is near the end of his HOF career but the good news is the next oldest DB is Tramon Williams at 29 years old (5'11"). Other than those two and Jarrett Bush (27 and 6'0") who thankfully has been returned to his proper role as a ST ace (because of the depth of the DBs), here are the ages of the DBs on the roster, PS, and IR and their heights: 22 years old: Casey Hayward 5'11", Davon House 6'0", Sean Richardson 6'2".23 years old: Morgan Burnett 6'1", Jerron McMillian 5'11", MD Jennings 6'0". 24 years old: Sam Shields 5'11", James Nixon 6'0".      </blockquote>
