A.J. Hawk loves Dave Matthews

A.J. Hawk, the Green Bay Packers' linebacker and former Ohio State standout, is a huge Dave Matthews fan.

Hawk talked about his Dave Matthews obsession in a profile this week on ESPN.com's local Milwaukee site:

I’m not really into hard-core rock. People always think that when they see me, with the long hair. They think I’m into the crazy, death-metal thing. But I’m not into that at all. I’m a big Dave Matthews fan. He’s all over my iPod. I listen to a lot of Jimmy Buffett, Bob Marley. I’ve been to like 35 Dave Matthews shows. I started going to his concerts when I was in sixth grade. And I’ve been going anytime I can ever since. I met him – without me being a celebrity or anything. Me, my brother and my dad went to a show when I was a freshman in high school in North Carolina, and his bus happened to be parked at our hotel, and I sat out there all day and waited for him to walk out. I got a picture with him and everything. It was cool.
