The Green Bay Packers need Jaire Alexander to have a big bounce-back season and Eric Stokes and/or Carrington Valentine to be a solid No. 2 cornerback.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – With Jaire Alexander, the Green Bay Packers have a big-time cornerback. With Eric Stokes vs. Carrington Valentine, the Packers will have a big-time battle.After earning All-Pro honors in 2020 and 2022, Alexander had a dismal year in 2023. Injuries, a suspension and lackluster play were the theme of his sixth season. Last season, 109 cornerbacks played at least 250 coverage snaps.
When Alexander is fully dialed in, he remains one of the top corners in the game. After skipping most of the offseason program last year, Alexander was fully engaged this year as the defense transitions to new coordinator Jeff Hafley. Critically, Stokes was healthy throughout the offseason practices. If he can stay healthy throughout training camp and the preseason, he’ll be able to stack days and build his game – something he didn’t have the luxury of doing at any point last year.Biggest Battle: Eric Stokes vs. Carrington Valentine
