Donald Driver

Green Bay Packers

2009 Review

Wow, where do you start with a guy like this.  Driver came from an extremely difficult childhood, so it’s no surprise that his will to succeed surpasses most others in the league; even at the ripe old age of 34 (now 35).  He started out the 2009 season on fire putting up double-digit fantasy points in five of the first eight weeks, but then he regressed over the latter half of the season in notching just one two-digit game over the final eight.  Did age catch up to him, or did defenses simply pay more attention after neglecting him in the first half due to his elevated age?  We wish we could tell you one way or another, but the numbers he put up in 2009 were above his career averages across the board, so we have to lean on the side of greatness with this guy.  70 catches, 6 TDs, and a 6th straight 1,000-yard season speak volumes about Donald, and we’re simply not the type to argue with the facts.


~  Ranked 19th in the league with 141.4WR fantasy points (basic scoring system)


~  Tied for 28th in the league with 6 receiving touchdowns


~  Ranked 19th in the league with 1,061 receiving yards


~  Ranked 21st in the league with 66.3 receiving yards per game


~  Tied for 27th in the league with 70 receptions


~  Tied for 29th in the league with 112 targets


~  Tied for 13th in the league with 15 receptions of 20+ yards


~  Tied for 21st in the league with 49 catches for first downs


~  Ranked 33rd in the league with 372 yards after the catch (YAC)

2010 Fantasy Outlook

Wait, he’s 35?  As in 35 years old?  You’ve got to be kidding!  How can a guy who would normally be questioning his entire existence at this age be doing what he’s still doing at 35 in the NFL?  Unfair!  I want a re-do.       Okay, so he’s old, but he obviously bucks common perceptions of age when it comes to sports.  So what now?  Does he keep his streak of 1,000-yard seasons going all the way through his 30s, or does he join the rest of humanity and succumb to science like the rest of us?  I wish we could tell you we knew, but the fact is, he has one of the best young QBs in the league throwing to him in Aaron Rodgers, a prolific offense around him (3rd in total points in the NFL), and knowledge of his position beyond 99% of the league to rely on.  Does this mean he’ll be a great fantasy player for your team in 2010?  No, but if you’re looking for a WR3 in your fantasy draft that you know will be there week-in and week-out, Donald Driver is your guy.


~ The man defies age and is one of the biggest workout warriors the league has ever seen


~ The rise of TE Jermichael Finley should take at least a few targets away from him


~ Driver has been and always will be one of the best route-runners in NFL history


~ WRs James Jones and Jordy Nelson are breathing down his back


~ The Packers are working towards a future Super Bowl, so will Driver be pushed out this year?

Contract

Back in '06, Driver signed a five-year, $17.026 million contract with $2 million of it being guaranteed, and then proceeded to go out and have a career year to give the deal some credence.  Consequently, the Packers decided to show their grizzled vet some love and added $11 million in "new money" to the contract.  Here's how the final year of that contract shakes out:


2010 - $4 million (+ $3 million roster bonus, $206,000 workout bonus)


2011 - Free Agent


It's worth noting that Driver has been slightly bummed about his current deal, as multi-year contracts don't come that often to 36-year olds (his age when this current deal expires).  This should serve as motivation for him in the final year.

Handcuff

James Jones should be the first handcuff you think of when it comes to Driver, but don’t forget about Jordy Nelson
