Packers 2021 Roster - Cornerbacks

 Cornerback! The man on the island.  The man to cover the opposing teams BEST receiver!  The man that will come up the the BIG turnover!  Do the Packers have one?

Yep!  

Jaire Alexander!     5'10" - 196 lbs - Year 4   Alexander is now one of the NFL's top corners!  Named to his first Pro Bowl in 2020!  How will the new defensive coordinator use Alexander? One side of the field?  Cover the opposing teams BEST receiver?  Will Alexander become one of the BEST corners in Packer history?  I am glad we have a shut down corner!

Kevin King     6'3" - 200 lbs - Year 5          &        Josh Jackson      6'0" - 196 lbs - Year 4

Wow!  Two young men in a interesting situation!  Kevin King, signed for one year.  He has one more year to prove himself!  Josh Jackson, this may be it!  In fact, depending on the other corners, he may not make the 53 man roster!  Watch pre-season games closely & see what these two players do!  This is the year for these two football players!

Chandon Sullivan     5'11" - 198 lbs - Year 4     Shemar-Jean Charles     5'10" - 184 lbs - Rookie

Kabion Ento     6'1" - 187 lbs - Year 2               Ka'dar Hollman     6'0" - 196 lbs - Year 3

Stanford Samuels     6'1" - 187 lbs - Year 1

This group of 5 corners are fascinating!  I think at least two of theses young men may displace some VETS!  And, in the age of passing - most teams now have 3 starting corners.  So, one of these players will probably be the 3rd starter!

Erik Stokes     6'0" - 194 lbs - Rookie

Our #1 Draft choice!  He will play!  He may displace Kevin King!  He may be another Alexander?  As any team would love to say, "We have TWO shut down corners!!!"  The Packers will give Stokes every chance to replace KevinKing!
