The Green Bay Packers have established a system or reloading through the draft. Mike Daniels is yet another product of that successful operation.

Daniels has become a difference-maker in the trenches, proving himself as a capable every-down asset. That doesn’t mean he’ll actually play every down—nor should he—but the 6’0″, 305-pound lineman can be utilized in any situation.

Per PFF, Daniels was Green Bay’s top-rated defender in 2014 and the No. 8 overall 3-4 defensive end, managing 5.5 sacks and a career-best 41 stops.

He’s logged 76 total tackles, 14.0 sacks and one defensive touchdown. Daniels has set himself up for a sizable extension and raise when his contract expires following the 2015 campaign.
