Green Bay Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon saw big things for rookie catcher Matthew Golden and made a big improvement from defensive back Javon Bullard to the second grade.
Nixon was the first defensive corner and faced the team's first-round draft pick Golden, 1-1-11 throughout the summer. Their battle helped rookie racers win the respect of veteran covers.
Nixon believes that King is the “hell for players” for the rookie year.
“The way he plays, offensive plays,” Nixon said of Venus Tuesday. “You can tell why he went through the first round. Strong, strong hands, strong upper body at distance points. So, I think he'll have a great time. ”
During Tuesday's practice, King dragged for a long time to play a touchdown against the first team's defense. He has been performing one or two big games in training camp, and now Golden's entry into the regular season is one of the most important goals in the pass game.
In the minor case, Nixon could see growth in 2024 second-round pick Bullard, his two main positions – slot defender and safety.
“I think the Bulls have taken a huge step in the offseason,” Nixon said. “Not only play nickel, but also play safe and communicate better…he has grown a lot.”
Bullard was the first choice for the defense in the seat, but he is now more safe to experience injuries in training camp with Xavier McKinney (Calf) and Zayne Anderson (Knee) (Knee). He started his rookie season in a safety game next to McKinney, but ended up being the starter of the slot machine, highlighting his versatility.
Nixon's self-evident Nixon is not only talking about teammates. He said he still wants to be a factor that returns and he doesn't mind traveling around after the first receiver.
Nixon has gone from an undrafted free agent to an all-professional kick-off returner, and then to a corner of a starting period, now ranked No. 1.
“Never let anyone put me in a box,” Nixon said. “I know with confidence what I can do.”
The Packers rely on Nixon on most snapshots to cover the team's top receiver.
“I probably fell asleep throughout my career,” Nixon said. “I know what I brought. I know what I can. I've been doing…I did it in the slot machines that kicked nickel, I did more things outside last year, and now I'm just playing around with the corners. My resume is for talking.”
