Packers: 1 Of 5 Teams Linked To Young Superstar (Report)

The Green Bay Packers are going into the 2025 off-season ready to take that next step.  Making the playoffs in back-to-back seasons is no small feat, especially after trading away four-time NFL MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

However, there could be help on the way on the other side of the ball.

Packers: 1 Of 5 Teams Linked To Young Superstar (Report)

In Week 1, the Green Bay Packers lost to the Philadelphia Eagles with both Jaire Alexander and Eric Stokes playing almost every snap at cornerback.

The chances of neither of these players returning in 2025 are good:

At Pro Football Network, the Packers selected Notre Dame cornerback Benjamin Morrison with the 23rd overall pick.

“Morrison is a polished cornerback with fluid movement, physicality, and sharp instincts,” Ben Rolfe wrote. “He missed the majority of the 2024 season, so his medicals will be a concern, but the upside in his profile was a potential top-10 pick.

He comes with less risk than (East Carolina’s Shavon) Revel in terms of his medicals, but that could be a stumbling block to him being a first-round pick.”

After intercepting six passes as a freshman, Morrison appeared destined for the first round. Three more followed in 2023. In 2024, he played in only six games due to a hip injury that required surgery. Regardless, he could be a diamond in the rough if the Packers decide to take a chance on him.
