For those starting to warm to Colledge - he's improving to below average.

Scott Wells: Very bright (30 on the Wonderlic intelligence test), very consistent, very committed and very valuable. Yielded 16 "pressures," fewest on the line, and 18 "bad" runs. Drew just two penalties, giving him a mere 12 in the last five seasons. Didn't have a faulty shotgun snap all season. Provides a tremendous level of comfort for Aaron Rodgers because he's so sharp mentally and such a student of the game. Had his best season ever reach-blocking longtime rival Pat Williams of Minnesota. Assistant O-line coach Jerry Fontenot called Wells "one of the most explosive offensive linemen in the NFL." Grade: B-plus.
Daryn Colledge: Scouts say he lacks toughness, athleticism and strength. There's no question that he ranked fifth best on a five-man unit. Nevertheless, he lined up for every game and just about every practice, trimmed his sack total from seven to three and his "pressures" from an abominable 40½ to 23½. As a pass blocker, he reacts pretty well against speed, is less effective against power and struggles picking up stunts. Led the club in "bad" runs with 25, a career high. Unable to sustain run blocks against better players and is too often late to the second level. Had a career-high eight penalties. Every team wants better than Colledge, but until the Packers find that man they at least know they can survive with him. Grade: C-minus.
