Tramon Williams has said that being injury-free in 2013 finally allowed him to "get into form".
The Green Bay Packers cornerback, who has dealt with nerve and knee injuries in the last couple of years, posted some of the best figures of his career during the regular season with 83 tackles, 2.5 sacks and three interceptions.
The 30-year-old told the team's website: "I was just playing ball. I had an opportunity to finally get into form. For me to get back to the point where I was feeling my best, that's what you get. You get that guy, you get that focus, you get everything that comes with it.
"I felt better than I have in a couple years now. That played a big, big factor into it. When I'm healthy, I feel I can compete with anybody out there.
"I played through the injury thing, and you learn to appreciate being fully healthy. When you can do that, when you have that type of appreciation, you just go out and play, and I just went out and played like I know I can."
Williams has one season remaining on his current contract with the NFC North side.
