Keisean Nixon has seen his role in the Green Bay Packers' defense increase in each of his three seasons with the team. After playing just 28 percent of the defensive snaps in 2022, that number jumped to 73 percent in 2023 and 94 percent last season.
While Nixon has been named a first-team All-Pro twice since joining Green Bay for his work as a kick returner, he was productive with the increased defensive role in 2024. Nixon posted a 64.5 PFF grade, which ranked 86th out of 222 cornerbacks.
Following the departure of two-time All-Pro cornerback Jaire Alexander, Nixon is listed as the top cornerback on the Packers' depth chart.
