4. Parry Nickerson, CB, Tulane
Parry Nickerson doesn’t get all the hype he deserves considering he played at Tulane and is undersized as a cornerback.
At 6-foot and only 180 pounds, he’ll probably never be an outside corner, especially early on in his career. That’s okay for Green Bay, as they need a slot corner as well. Heck, they need every type of corner.
Nickerson ran a 4.32 40-yard dash at the combine and is lightning quick as well. He also has great ball skills, grabbing 10 interceptions and 12 pass breakups over the last two years according to Pro Football Focus.
What’s most attractive about Nickerson, however, is his willingness to compete. He played hard on every snap last year and loves to stick his nose in there. He won’t back down from anyone and that consistency is a huge positive.
He’s another guy who will be available in the middle rounds. And even if Green Bay has already addressed their need at cornerback, Nickerson should still be thought of as a viable option.
