Who's the toughest receiver you have covered? #AskShields

Sam, what's it like to mentor the younger defensive backs? @packers #AskShields

— Matt Christ (@packersowner87) September 9, 2016

I mentor by showing. I'm not really a vocal guy. Being the oldest guy in the room makes me more mature. #AskShields https://t.co/rcdVE1EDQw

what's the hardest part about being the veteran cornerback on a team with so many young defensive backs? #AskShields

— Alex ‘Flux’ Walters (@Flux920) September 9, 2016

As a veteran, just being consistent & showing the young players the right way. #AskShields https://t.co/hyM93Mkmx6

What's the most important thing to remember when playing against a potent passing attack like the Jaguars? #AskShields

— Daniel Clark (@dtclark11) September 9, 2016

Not giving up that deep ball. That's what they're good at. No explosive plays. #AskShields https://t.co/Kmw2l52gcW

@packers what did Charles Woodson teach you? #AskShields

— Pierre (@pierrebattsii) September 9, 2016

Just going about being a pro in this league. He taught me stuff on the field, but mostly being a pro. #AskShields https://t.co/JFvOgihHeF

most memorable interception of your career? #AskShields

— Nick DeNunzio (@thenickdenunzio) September 9, 2016

NFC Championship game my rookie year. Interception to take us to the Super Bowl. I'll never forget that. #AskShields https://t.co/8bSzk93nnQ

@packers Sam, who do you think the funniest dude on the team is? #askshields

— Jared Martin (@Jared_Martin_) September 9, 2016

Morgan Burnett (@MoBetta_42). He keeps you laughing. He's a prankster. #AskShields https://t.co/qXbgHwajcT

— Green Bay Packers (@packers) September 9, 2016

Just the organization all around. It's like a big family. Everybody in town is nice & laid-back. #AskShields https://t.co/7Y3aaTkjoB

Sam, what are you looking forward to most this season? @packers #AskShields

— Alex (@alexkarabon) September 9, 2016

Just taking one game at a time & being consistent. Making plays to help my team out, & a healthy year. #AskShields https://t.co/UHwY7D00QJ

@packers #askShields what was the hardest part of transitioning from receiver to CB after your career at the U?

— Brian Johnson (@bmjohnson9) September 9, 2016

Just going backwards. I was always an offensive guy since little league. I just kept working every day. #AskShields https://t.co/Vc4jpJSDgs

— Green Bay Packers (@packers) September 9, 2016

What are you proud of the most? #AskShields

— Timothy M. Stone, Architect (@tmston_2) September 9, 2016

Just having the opportunity to be where I'm at in my 7th year. No serious injuries, thank God. #AskShields https://t.co/uVV80KH94J

— Green Bay Packers (@packers) September 9, 2016

He's still young, but he can be really great. I tell him to keep working every day. He's on the verge. #AskShields https://t.co/c0Nv6dfHp4
