  IDP Spotlights
Darren Sharper will open eyes this year and walk away with the credit that he deserves (currently ranked as the 15th overall DB, which is a farce IMO).
Sharper is the NFL's interception leader over the last five seasons, his 30 picks in that time frame place him ahead of smaller, quicker and more agile CB's and coverage artists such as Samari Rolle (22, TEN), Donnie Abraham (25, TB-NYJ), and Patrick Surtain (23, MIA)...
Sharper still occasionally will take bad angles and get run on, but it is hard to argue with his tackle productivity and consistency over the years.

 JS Online: Packers cut ties with Sharper
Sharper said he had prepared himself for this day but it was still difficult, given he was drafted by the Packers in the second round and hasn't played for anyone else.
Sharper was supposed to be the centerpiece of first-year coordinator Bob Slowik's blitz-oriented scheme in '04, but he struggled near the line of scrimmage and seemed to press too much to make big plays.
Sharper's 77 tackles were his fewest since becoming a starter in 1998 and his four interceptions and eight passes defended were his lowest since '99.

Sharper, who led the team in interceptions with four and was fourth on the team in tackles, faces similar question marks about his speed, which has long been his primary asset as a safety.
Sharper said he bulked up for the '04 season after learning that defensive coordinator Bob Slowik was going to utilize him closer to the line of scrimmage as part of his blitz package.
