All-Pro kick returner Keisean Nixon has agreed to a contract to return to the Green Bay Packers, a source told ESPN.

Nixon, who saw an increased role on defense this past season, repeated as The Associated Press' All-Pro kick returner in 2023, becoming only the fourth returner to earn the designation in consecutive seasons.

He finished with a league-leading 782 yards on kickoff returns and ranked No. 2 in the league with a 28.8-yard average.

After seeing just 289 snaps in 2022, Nixon, 26 (turns 27 on June 22), played 809 defensive snaps in 2023 as the nickel cornerback.
