GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Keisean Nixon wants to be done returning kicks and not just because the two-time All-Pro return man fumbled the opening kickoff in the Green Bay Packers' playoff loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
Instead, he wants to focus full time on his defensive duties as cornerback. And not just any cornerback.
"I want to be CB1," Nixon said Monday as players cleaned out their lockers for the offseason. "CB1 is not doing kick returns. That's just what it is."
Nixon moved into a more prolific role on defense this past season after playing mostly in a part-time role as the slot or third cornerback in the Packers' nickel packages in previous seasons.
