We still don’t completely know what style of defense new defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley is going to run in Green Bay, but his history says that the Packers’ cornerback room, in particular, is going to benefit quite a bit.
According to PFF, Hafley’s Boston College defenses during the 2021 and 2022 seasons led all of college football in playing Cover-1. In 2023, they ranked fifth. Playing out of single-high safety looks puts your cornerbacks in a lot of man coverage situations.
Given who the Packers currently have at cornerback on the roster, that style better fits their personnel.
