1. Darnell Savage

After starting the season in a major slump, it’s safe to say Darnell Savage has truly hit his stride over the last few games. Nothing demonstrated that more than his performance against the Bears on Sunday night when PFF handed him a grade of 96.3. He was fantastic in coverage, as he showed off his elite speed and finally flashed some ball skills.

Savage has all the skills to be the type of difference-maker the Packers have lacked since the likes of Charles Woodson, prime Tramon Williams and Nick Collings. He can be that good. The coaching staff raved about him in the offseason and has always had supreme confidence in him and it’s starting to show why.
