Knock Nate Hobbs’ tenure as the slot corner all you want — and rightfully so. After all, the 167th pick of the 2021 NFL Draft played in just 51 games out of the 67 total (38 starts) in his first four years in the league.
As a 25-year-old in the Las Vegas Raiders defense in 2024, Hobbs played in only 11 games (seven starts). And we all know availability is the best ability.
But when available, Hobbs was a productive and reliable nickel corner. So much so, Hobbs inked a lucrative four-year, $48 million deal ($16 million guaranteed) with the Green Bay Packers in free agency back in March.
