GREEN BAY, Wis. – At Friday’s Green Bay Packers rookie minicamp practice, undrafted cornerback Raleigh Texada made a diving interception of a deflected pass.
The play came from equal parts athleticism, instinct and family history.
His father, Ranthony Texada, started training young Raleigh from an early age. Older brother Ranthony Texada II was an all-Big 12 cornerback at TCU. Younger brother Ridge Texada will be a junior cornerback at North Texas in the fall.
Primarily a perimeter cornerback for the Bears, Raleigh Texada finished his career with three interceptions, 15 passes defensed and 6.5 tackles for losses.
