Former safety Morgan Burnett, who played eight seasons (2010-2017) in Green Bay, has informed the club of his decision to retire with the Packers. The announcement was made Aug. 30 by General Manager Brian Gutekunst.
Burnett was originally selected in the third round (No. 71 overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Packers out of Georgia Tech. He started all 102 regular-season games and all 11 postseason contests he played in with Green Bay.
Burnett contributed to teams that won the NFC North five times, finished with 10-plus wins on six occasions and won Super Bowl XLV.
