With Brad Jones battling injuries last season, Lattimore saw more significant playing time last season, finishing with 35 tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble.  Lattimore originally made the Packers roster as an undrafted free agent.  He moved from defensive end in college to outside linebacker in the NFL, followed by a recent move to the inside.
