Brenton Cox

Brenton Cox is masterfully maneuvering the Packers into a roster quandary, defying expectations for an undrafted free agent and showcasing precisely the kind of tenacity that spells success.

After being dismissed from two major college football programs, it erased the chance Cox was going to be selected in this year’s draft. Yet, he has resoundingly unveiled the amazing athletic prowess that once earned him a coveted five-star recruit status.

Amidst the formidable array of Rashan Gary, Preston Smith, Lukas Van Ness, Kinglsey Enagbare, and Justin Hollins, all locks for the roster, Cox faced an uphill battle to reassert his presence. However, he silenced any doubt with a standout performance, registering three quarterback pressures and orchestrating a batted ball that seamlessly morphed into an interception. He might be too good to leave off, regardless of the players ahead of him.
