GREEN BAY – The best signings don't always garner the biggest headlines.
For example, the Packers agreeing to terms with cornerback Keisean Nixon during the second wave of free agency was met with little fanfare last March.
A few weeks earlier, Las Vegas chose not to tender a restricted-free-agent contract offer to Nixon, making the fourth-year veteran unrestricted for the first time since he went undrafted out of South Carolina in 2019.
Today, Nixon is a first-team All-Pro who led the NFL with 1,009 yards on kickoff returns this past season. His 105-yard kickoff return for a touchdown against Minnesota in Week 17 made Nixon the first Packers player to return a kickoff for a TD in more than a decade.
