One Position Battle That Will Heat Up in a Hurry for Packers

The One Position Battle That Will Heat Up in a Hurry for Packers centers on how Green Bay reshaped its cornerback room ahead of training camp. GM Brian Gutekunst released Nate Hobbs after a disappointing season and signed Benjamin St-Juste while adding rookies Brandon Cisse and Domani Jackson. St-Juste, a 6-foot-3 veteran, missed three weeks of offseason practices due to a reported injury but previously started 42 games from 2022–24 and had 17 passes defensed in 2023. Nixon and Valentine remained the likely No. 1 pair, with St-Juste viewed as a strong competition to win a starting job once healthy. Cisse, from South Carolina after transferring from North Carolina, and Jackson were drafted to bolster depth and future flexibility. The competition will intensify when camp opens late next month as the Packers sort out the top cornerback rotation.
