Revitalized Damarious Randall ready to be the 'star' in Packers' defense

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers envision Damarious Randall as the "star" of their defense this season.

It’s a different role in so many ways for the 2015 first-round draft pick.

In the literal sense, it’s a new position; the "star" is another name for the nickel or slot cornerback position in Dom Capers’ five defensive back package. In a figurative sense, it could put Randall in a position to become the defensive star the Packers thought he would be when they picked him at No. 30 overall two years ago.
