Green Bay Packers' Xavier McKinney named NFC Defensive Player of the Month

The Green Bay Packers quietly landed one of the best free agents this off-season in former Alabama Crimson Tide Safety Xavier McKinney. McKinney spent the first four years of his professional career with the New York Giants after being selected No. 36 overall in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft.

Over his four years with the Giants, McKinney was incredibly productive and was just one of two defenders in 2023 not to miss a snap all season, so losing him this off-season was a massive blow. The Packers signed him to a four-year $67 million deal this off-season, and so far, they have gotten their money's worth.
