Morgan Burnett was drafted by the Packers in the third round of the 2010 NFL Draft from Georgia Tech. He spent eight seasons with the team and started all of his 113 games played, including postseason appearances. As a key defensive player for Green Bay, he led in total tackles twice and recorded ten interceptions along with nine fumble recoveries. After playing for the Steelers and Browns, Burnett retired as a Packer in 2021.

Nick Collins joined the Packers after being selected in the second round of the 2005 NFL Draft out of Bethune-Cookman University. Over his career spanning 102 games, he achieved notable success with 22 interceptions. His memorable play includes a crucial interception returned for a touchdown during Super Bowl XLV's first quarter that contributed to Green Bay's victory. Collins was named to three consecutive Pro Bowls between 2008-2010 and was inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame in 2016.
