2. K’Waun Williams

If the Packers want to target a guy who’s purely a slot corner, they could explore K’Waun Williams as an option. The San Francisco 49ers just re-signed Jason Verrett to a one-year deal so they could be ready to move on from their other slot corner in Williams.

Williams had a breakout season in 2019 before coming back down to earth in 2020. However, his level of play last season is the most realistic expectation moving forward as it most closely matches his career play. He’d be a nice upgrade over Chandon Sullivan and give Green Bay someone they finally trust on the inside. PFF predicts he’ll receive a two-year deal worth $4 million per season.
