The Facts:
Packers GM Ted Thompson has done things his way without wavering from his philosophy of building through the draft and spending the majority of his salary cap dollars to retain those players. On Tuesday, his way was validated -- at least as far as developing the roster that led to a 13-3 season and an NFC Championship Game appearance last season are concerned -- when he was named The Sporting News' George Young National Football League executive of the year.
