2. Mysterious Packers Heading Into Training Camp: Keisean Nixon
While Keisean Nixon has made a name for himself as a dynamic kick returner, his coverage abilities are now coming into focus. With Stokes still recovering from an injury, Nixon has a prime opportunity to solidify his role as Green Bay’s starting slot corner.
