Originally Published 1 year ago — by Packers Wire

The Green Bay Packers are re-signing cornerback and kickoff returner Keisean Nixon on a three-year deal worth $18 million. Nixon, who earned first-team All-Pro honors as a kickoff returner last season, also started in the slot for the Packers and produced 80 tackles, one interception, and six passes defensed. While heavily targeted in the slot and needing improvement, his value as a kickoff returner is undeniable, leading the NFL in kickoff returns and yardage in both 2022 and 2023.
