5. Kabion Ento, cornerback

Kabion Ento was an undrafted free agent in 2019 out of Colorado where he actually played wide receiver. He spent last year on the Packers’ practice squad honing his cornerback skills and learning the position. This year, he made the initial 53-man roster, showing signs of progress.

Ento is definitely a work in progress, but he beat out cornerbacks who were thought to be ahead of him included Stanford Samuels, DaShaun Amos and Will Sunderland.

With Jaire Alexander, Kevin King and Chandon Sullivan locked in as the top three cornerbacks on the depth chart, it’s unclear exactly how much playing time Ento will receiver or how much he’s even ready for. Regardless, this will be a great opportunity for the former receiver.
