Green Bay Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst expressed strong confidence in his current starting cornerbacks during a conversation with reporters on the first day of mandatory minicamp. Still, it is a fact the cornerback position remains one of the thinnest areas on the roster heading into training camp.
Nate Hobbs, Keisean Nixon, and Carrington Valentine should be Green Bay’s starting cornerbacks for the 2025 season. Defensive Coordinator Jeff Hafley has a reputation for developing defensive backs and could help elevate the Packers’ secondary into a game-changing force. However, both Nixon and Hobbs—who will likely start on the outside in Green Bay’s traditional 4-3 defense—have spent most of their careers playing in the slot.
