Green Bay Packers selected Brandon Cisse 52nd in the 2026 NFL Draft

Green Bay Packers selected cornerback Brandon Cisse from the University of South Carolina 52nd in the 2026 NFL Draft. Cisse stands out as a player pushing the athletic limits of his position with a 4.41-second 40-yard dash time and a 41-inch vertical jump. His NFL combine performances showed that his speed and agility are at a high level. However, it is noted that Cisse is still open to technical development and this aspect will determine his potential in the NFL. The Packers made this pick to address the need for depth on the defensive line and to create a future starter candidate. The team's current best cornerbacks, Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine, did not fully show the expected performance in the late season. Therefore, Cisse is expected to play an important role in the rotation soon. General manager Brian Gutekunst emphasized that the cornerback position is a priority need for the team and that Cisse has the skills to meet this need. Cisse's development in his NFL career will especially depend on the improvement of route reading and ball skills. Packers fans will closely follow the young player's potential.
