I TRULY believe that we NEED great corner play in 2017! To be a Super Bowl contending
NFL team, a team needs at least ONE great corner or a couple above average corners! What do we have??
Davon House - 6'0" - 195 lbs - New Mexico St - Year 7
The Packer front office decided to bring back House from Jacksonville. Apparently, his first year in Jacksonville was VERY good and his second year was VERY bad, so......... Devon seems to blame the system in 2016 in Jacksonville, we shall see.
He does bring experience & he did play well while in Green Bay. Can he be a #1 corner in the
NFL? Again, time will tell!
Some interesting facts about Davon:
Community Involvement: Became extremely active in the Green Bay community upon his arrival in 2011, committing time to various charitable endeavors…Attended the annual Families of Children with Cancer holiday party…Has supported the Boys and Girls Club of the Fox Valley and also participated in the Edgar Bennett Celebrity Bowl-A-Thon...Played as part of a corporate foursome in the Green Bay Packers Golf Invitational and has participated in the Donald Driver and Jordy Nelson Celebrity Softball games, taking home the home run derby title in 2012…Volunteered at a day care center in Las Cruces, N.M. …Umpired youth baseball games when he was in high school...Hobbies/interests: Enjoys playing video games and poker, and relaxing at home...Lists Ken Griffey Jr., Charles Woodson and Tramon Williams as his favorite athletes...Enjoys watching NFL Network and Discovery Channel, naming Deadliest Catch and River Monsters as his favorite TV shows...
Brings a positive attitude & experience to the corners group, BUT we need to see him in game situations! We hope as Davon steadies the backfield, the younger players take control!!!
Damarious Randall - 5'11" - 196 lbs - Arizona St - Year 3
Our 2015 draft class of Randall & Rollins had pretty good rookies seasons, but NOT so good sophomore seasons! A lot was injury related & Sam Shields going down to career ending injury! So far in training camp, Randall has played well & should be on the field a lot to start the year!
Had a great career at Arizona State.....
Senior season (2014): Started all 13 games and earned first-team All-Pac-12 honors at safety after leading the Sun Devils in tackles (106) and passes defensed (12) and tying for the team lead with three interceptions…Also earned honorable mention All-America recognition from SI.com…
And, of course was a great high school athlete!
High school: Played CB, FS and WR and returned punts and kickoffs at Pensacola (Fla.) High, earning all-state recognition as a senior and all-conference honors as a junior and senior…Helped lead the team to a Class 3A title as a senior in 2009, when the Tigers outscored their opponents, 95-13, in the postseason…Also lettered all four years in baseball as a shortstop and four years in track and field, participating in the long jump and the 4x100 relay
Looks like he may play a lot of slot corner, if the Packer draft choice King comes on!
Quinten Rollins - 5'11 - 195 lbs - Miami(Ohio) - Year 3
This one still intrigues me! Why?
Played basketball for four seasons at Miami (Ohio) before playing one season of football…
So, I still think he is learning & has room to grow! Played a lot the past two years, as mentioned earlier, played injured last year! NEEDS to make a jump!!!!
Kevin King - 6'3" - 200 lbs - Washington - Rookie
OK, first draft choice, we NEED YOU!!!
For the past 5-6 years, the Packers seemed to get burned by one receiver, and usually the receiver
is a good size - 6'2-6'4 type! Well Kevin is 6'3", could he be the answer?
In camp so far, the physical nature of the game may be an issue, King will need to put on some
muscle & develop a little nastiness! He needs to be playing well by December!
Corners with Experience:
LaDarius Gunter - 6'2" - 201 lbs - Miami - Year 3
Gunter was thrown into the fire last year! At times, looked good & at times - Uh-Oh!
Some of the early talk at camp is he has struggled! He is very physical, but not very fast! The NOT
very fast scares me!
Some highlights:
- One of two rookie free agents to make Green Bay’s opening-day roster in 2015, joining RB Alonzo Harris.
- Saw action in eight games as a rookie, recording two tackles on special teams.
- Appeared in one postseason contest, playing 31 snaps on defense and 13 on special teams due to an injury to CB Quinten Rollins.
- Registered a team-high five passes defensed and an interception for Green Bay during the preseason.
Has had a history of surprising people. Note:
Former walk-on who started 28 of 50 career games at East Carolina, totaling 139 tackles (88 solo), including 3½ for a loss, a forced fumble, nine interceptions and 22 pass breakups…Ranked at the top of the FBS in several defensive categories, including interceptions (13th), pass breakups (26th) and interception return yards (33rd)
Surprises are good, and a surprise at corner would be nice!
Demetri Goodson - 5'11" - 197 lbs - Baylor - Year 4
Another undrafted for agent that made it onto the team & has contributed on special teams!
Some notes:
- Played in 14 games and both postseason contests in his second season in 2015, seeing time on defense and special teams. Recorded nine special teams tackles, tied for No. 4 on the team.
- Was tied for No. 1 on the team with three special teams tackles in the 2015 playoffs.
- Saw action in six games and was inactive for 10 contests and both postseason games as a rookie in 2014.
- Registered six special teams tackles in ’14, No. 2 on the team among rookies behind only LB Jayrone Elliott
Raysean Pringle - 6'0" - 191 lbs - S Utah - Rookie
Donatello Brown - 6'0" - 190 lbs - Valdosta State - Rookie
Lenzy Pipkins - 6'0" - 196 lbs - Oklahoma St - Rookie
Daquan Holmes - 5'11" - 187 lbs - American Int - Rookie
The list of rookies, special teams first, and second look better then the players from last year!
Early reports, Pringle looking good and the first pre-season game will tell us a lot!
