Packers already have perfect Jaire Alexander replacement hiding in plain sight

Rookie receiver Isaac TeSlaa had to go full Odell Beckham with a stunning one-handed catch to end the streak.

That's what it took for Carrington Valentine to allow his first touchdown in 630 days. The Green Bay Packers' most underrated cornerback didn't give up a single score in his coverage last season, and it needed something out of this world to change that in Week 1.

When discussing how the Packers can replace All-Pro Jaire Alexander, whom they released in June, the conversation typically begins with Keisean Nixon and free-agent addition Nate Hobbs. We should really be talking about Valentine.
