Green Bay Packers: Ted Thompson’s top 30 draft picks of all-time

28. Micah Hyde (Freddie’s pick)

He might not be a flashy player, but every team needs a Micah Hyde. The Packers’ fifth-round draft choice in 2013 has multiple roles on defense and on special teams. Hyde has the ability to line up at cornerback, safety and is a dangerous punt returner.

While Sam Shields, Damarious Randall and Quinten Rollins are the Packers’ top trio at corner, Hyde offers reliable depth, and he can also fill in at safety should either Morgan Burnett or Ha Ha Clinton-Dix miss any time.

In 2015, Hyde was ranked 54th among 89 graded safeties by Pro Football Focus. This is a respectable finish considering he doesn’t see as much of the field as the starters.

In his three seasons with the Packers, Hyde has made some memorable plays. On special teams, he has taken three punts to the house, although he went without a touchdown in 2015. His most important came in the NFC North title decider in Week 17 of the 2014 season against Detroit. After an impressive defensive stand, Hyde fielded a Sam Martin punt around midfield and returned it all the way to put the Packers up 7-0.

And who could forget his spectacular back-handed, one-handed interception of Teddy Bridgewater in last year’s division decider? It was one of three picks he made during the season, a career-high.

Hyde is a valuable member of the Packers’ roster, and Ted Thompson found him on day three of the draft.
