Despite a strong performance in training camp, the Green Bay Packers did not make defensive back Kabion Ento a part of their initial 53-man roster. According to Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, the Packers are releasing Ento on Tuesday.
Ento showed promise as a cover corner, however, there was one pre-requisite he lacked that is required from the position: tackling.
A former wide receiver in college, Ento switched to defense when he entered the pro scene. The physical side proved to be a big challenge for Ento, who was used to dodging tackles as opposed to making them.
