Packers' safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix was racially profiled

Green Bay Packers rookie safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix was racially profiled as a suspect in a robbery.

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix appears to be the answer that the Green Bay Packers have been looking for at the safety position, and has come through with a huge season so far. He has taken over a key role in the secondary, and has been a big improvement from what the Packers were working with last season.

The rookie safety had an interesting run-in with police officers when he was pulled over for questioning in a burglary at a shopping center. Clinton-Dix claims the police officers racially profiled him when deciding to pull him over.

Here is what Clinton-Dix had to say about the situation in a tweet, which he later took down.

“I fit the description of a guy stealing out of Bay shores mall wow. Stopped by police embarrassing.”

Just after that tweet, he posted and then deleted another tweet that said he understood that the police officer was just doing his job.

Clinton-Dix was upset about this situation, and rightfully so. But he can be happy about his first season in the NFL.

Throughout his rookie season, when he played in all 16 regular season games, Clinton-Dix racked up 94 tackles to go along with a sack and an interception. He is the type of ball-hawking safety that the Packers were looking for in the draft, and they found him.

Green Bay earned a first-round bye after defeating the Detroit Lions in Week 17, and they will be facing either the Carolina Panthers or Dallas Cowboys at home. Clinton-Dix is going to be asked to step up once again like he has for the majority of the season.
