Packers searching for a 'star' cornerback

GREEN BAY – It was fairly obvious from the start that the Packers had something special on their hands with Damarious Randall and Quinten Rollins last summer.

Pressed into action, the two rookie cornerbacks responded to their early playing time with 89 tackles and five interceptions on the NFL’s sixth-ranked pass defense.

That first training camp proved to the Packers that Randall and Rollins could play. Now, the second has been about determining where they fit best in the defense.

The Packers feel they have a bona-fide shutdown cornerback in Sam Shields, but they have to determine how to disperse the 1,048 snaps Casey Hayward played a year ago before signing with San Diego this offseason.
