Saturday marked the first contract 1st rounder AJ Hawk signed as a Packer, and hopefully not the last.  Hawk agreed in principle to a 6 year, $37.5 million dollar contract that will keep him in a Packer uniform until the 2012 campaign.  Hawk was the clear cut pick General Manager Ted Thompson decided on after it was announced the night before the draft that Mario Williams would be drafted #1 overall by Houston. The two-time All-American and Big Ten defensive player of the year led the Buckeye defense three years straight in tackles, racking up 121 in 2005, including 9.5 sacks. Hawk is slated to start at weak side linebacker along side incumbent Nick Barnett, and newcomer Ben Taylor, signing because of a starting chance. Hawk was the final draftee to sign, and will appear in his first practice today. Hawk will certainly be in the running for the NFC defensive player of the year, and hopefully his hard work and good credentials will help carry the Pack defense in 2006.
