Summary
Pack Daddy takes a deep dive into the most underappreciated unit on the Packers roster — the cornerbacks and safeties — and the picture is more complicated (and more encouraging) than the narrative suggests. This is a full secondary audit heading into 2026, and the numbers might just change your mind.
- Keyshawn Nixon & Carrington Valentine get the full PFF treatment — grades, penalty counts, coverage ratings, and the hard question of who's actually the future at corner in Green Bay
- Javon Bullard's breakout arc is dissected week-by-week, including that jaw-dropping stretch from Week 6 through Week 14 where he graded as a top-10 safety in football
- Xavier McKinney's dip gets proper context — is this a player decline or a coaching/scheme collapse that should fix itself under Gannon?
- Evan Williams, Katon Oladapo, and Benjamin St-Juste round out a deep secondary conversation, including what the three-safety system might mean for everyone's role

| 0:24.2 | uh final run through of this little thing we've been doing um we're going to look at the corners and |
| 0:30.6 | safeties and again it's just a little bit of a closer examination of the group um as a way of making |
| 0:37.1 | sure we don't really miss anything and honestly i think this is probably going to be some of the group as a way of making sure we don't really miss anything. |
| 0:39.4 | And honestly, I think this is probably going to be some of the most interesting because |
| 0:42.6 | as far as taking things for granted, this might be at the top of the list. |
| 0:48.9 | I think the corners, maybe it's just me. |
| 0:53.8 | I don't know where we stand with the corners. I know the general |

| 1:15.9 | with these things, reassessing them as far as their contract, as far as their, um, you know, |
| 1:22.4 | future outlook as far as how they've produced for us the last several, however long. |
| 1:30.5 | And the safety, the other side of it is, I mean, as far as taking things for granted, |
| 1:37.2 | it just feels like we're good. |
| 1:39.6 | You know, I don't know, we're fine. |
| 1:41.6 | Like, it's not really a concern. |
