Micah Hyde

Hyde’s versatility makes him a valuable member of the Packers’ roster. Not only can he play cornerback, but he can also fill in at safety and be used as a punt returner. While Morgan Burnett sat out due to injury, Hyde filled in. It wasn’t a great year for the third-year player, but he did come away with three interceptions and one of the plays of the season against Minnesota in Week 17.

Grade: C

Ladarius Gunter

Speed is an issue for Ladarius Gunter, but the Packers like what they have in this young talent. He has a strong ethic and is a player who can develop into an important role player down the line.

Grade: D

Demetri Goodson

Goodson didn’t play a whole lot in 2015. The former sixth round selection was on the bubble of the roster for much of the season and will need to make a big jump in year three to see his role increase next term.

Grade: C-

Robertson Daniel

Daniel was signed to the Packers’ practice squad in September before being brought up to the 53-man roster ahead of the playoff game in Arizona. The Packers are excited with what he can do in the future, and is a player to keep a keen eye on in training camp.

Grade: Incomplete
