Packers may have uncovered a shutdown CB duo no one saw coming

For all the preseason questions about the Green Bay Packers' defense, Thursday night was a resounding answer.

Green Bay's corner pairing of Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine delivered their best performance of the early campaign, locking up Washington's playmakers and setting a tone that carried through the night.

Against Jayden Daniels -- the reigning OROY and an electric young talent capable of extending plays -- and wideouts like Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel, the Packers' corners didn't just survive. They thrived.

How good can Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine be together?

Valentine, the third-year corner out of Kentucky, continues to build on what has been an intriguing start to his NFL campaign.
