It took some fans back that Green Bay Packers star Keisean Nixon said he didn't want to return kicks anymore and be a full-time cornerback. After the Packers lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in the wild-card round of the NFL Playoffs, head coach Matt LaFleur spoke about Nixon's comments.
Nixon has been known to be an electric kick-returner, even being first-team All-Pro in 2022 and 2023 for doing such that, but with the new kick rule, it has led the player in wanting to leave the role. However, this was news apparently to LaFleur, and spoke about having a meeting to talk with Nixon about the role according to Matt Schneidman.
