Confidential to PackWest

What are your thoughts on Davon House?

House (6-1, 195) spent his first four NFL seasons with the Green Bay Packers, but only made 14 starts at cornerback. Injuries (a pair of shoulder issues) have derailed him as House has missed nine games in the past three seasons.

He played 48.1 percent of Green Bay's snaps in 2014, according to Pro Football Focus. He was at 53.1 percent in 2013 and 58 percent in 2012. When healthy, the 25-year-old has shown he has the talent and size to be an every-down player.

I'd prefer to keep him over Tramon going forward.
He was the only one who could defend Julio Jones in the match-up last fall

He has had 2 injuries and he is stuck behind Tramon Williams and Sam Shields so its hard to evaluate him as a starter. His stated preference is to stay in GB so long as he gets a shot at starting. He will certainly get other offers

Here's what the Packers beat guy wrote at year's end: ( he's a tough grader)

Davon House: The guess is that House will get unrestricted offers for more than the Packers expect and he'll be gone in the first few days of free agency. Can he be trusted as a full-fledged starter? That's what the Packers and those many teams in need of a press-man CB with size must answer.
House averaged 27 snaps in the first 13 games before a fractured scapula knocked him out of Games 14-16; he was relegated to special teams only in the playoffs because of his shoulder. Learned a lot from all-pro Darrelle Revis last off-season. More fast than quick. Led CBs in passes defenses per snap (one every 36.8). Grade: C.
