Bryan Bulaga Supports Keisean Nixon as Packers' Top Cornerback
Bryan Bulaga, a former offensive lineman for the Green Bay Packers, has publicly endorsed Keisean Nixon as the team's top cornerback during a recent appearance on ESPN Milwaukee. This endorsement comes as the Packers are engaged in a competitive evaluation of their cornerback position during training camp.
Nixon, who is in the final year of his contract, has expressed frustration over his role in the ongoing competition. He noted that he feels he is being punished, but remains focused on his performance. Head coach Matt LaFleur responded to Nixon's comments by emphasizing that the entire team is undergoing competition.
The Packers have bolstered their secondary by signing free-agent cornerback Benjamin St-Juste and drafting Brandon Cisse. Despite Nixon's strong performance last season, where he earned a Pro Bowl selection, he has faced criticism for penalties and missed tackles. As training camp progresses, Nixon continues to compete for his position, with Bulaga's support highlighting his status as a key player in the team's defensive lineup.
