Wide receiver Javon Walker hasn't been on Green Bay's roster since 2005, but his plight certainly was a topic of conversation Tuesday in the Packers' locker room.
"It's a wake-up call," receiver Greg Jennings said. "I think it makes you realize that even though you are an NFL athlete, it doesn't exempt you from issues that may occur. That puts the spotlight on you even more. You have to be careful who you associate yourself with. ... It's an unfortunate situation. It happens, and when it hits close to home like it has here, then it makes you open your eyes a little bit more."
Walker spent four seasons with the Packers and enjoyed a career year in 2004, catching 89 passes for 1,382 yards and 12 touchdowns. Only a handful of Walker's former teammates remain on Green Bay's revamped roster, and most of them chose their words carefully Tuesday.
Veteran receiver Donald Driver declined comment and defensive end Aaron Kampman said: "I hope he's OK, but I really don't know anything about it."
