The Green Bay Packers see cornerback Nate Hobbs -- who signed a four-year deal in free agency -- as a versatile defensive back who can play multiple spots, including on the perimeter at cornerback.
Hobbs played his best football with the Las Vegas Raiders in the slot, but both coach Matt LaFleur and general manager Brian Gutekunst believe he has the skill set and play style to move outside and thrive as a perimeter cornerback in Jeff Hafley's defense.
"I know that a lot of people just view him as a nickel. Well, we think he can play on the outside and play on the perimeter," LaFleur said, via Packers.
