1.  On several occasions, I’ve see you out-jump defenders for the ball with ease and I know you could have participated in the 2000 Olympics in the high jump.  So, how high can you jump?

 

2.  What’s your favorite route to run and why?

 

3.  What is your most memorable play ever?

 

4.  You’ve been fairly durable for most of your career, but I remember that scary incident in 2003 when you went up high for a ball and had your legs cut out from under you by the defensive back and you landed on your head, injuring your neck.  Though you only missed one game, it slowed you down tremendously that season, which happened to be the only year of the last seven in which you did not record 1,000 yards receiving.  Were you disappointed that the injury affected your play or simply relieved that it wasn’t something more serious?

 

5.  Of what does your workout regimen consist?  Packer coaches and players always note that you enter the offseason program already in great shape.  Do you ever miss a workout?

 

6.  Being the veteran and experienced Packer that you are, do you take on leadership responsibilities?  Do you mentor the younger guys or are you more of a lead-by-example type of leader?  If the Packers are down by four points, needing a touchdown, and the offense just got the ball back with a minute to go in the game, would you try to rally your teammates with a speech?  If so, what would you say?

 

7.  Who’s the one cornerback in the league that you look forward to lining up against?  Who gives you the biggest challenge?  Is there any particular game that stands out to you?

 

8.  You’ve stated that no other team matches the talent of the Packers’ receivers.  What do you think each receiver, including yourself, brings to the passing game?

 

9.  What’s your opinion of Aaron Rodgers’ game?  How much has he grown since the first day he arrived in Green Bay?

 

10. Mike McCarthy has said that, even though the offensive scheme has been the same since he’s arrived, there are subtle changes and additions made to the playbook between seasons every year.  Could you give some examples?
