GB Brandon Cisse
NFL player. Position: CB. Team: Green Bay Packers.
Quick Facts
- Position: Cornerback (CB)
- Team: GB (Green Bay Packers)
- Draft: 2026 2nd round (52nd overall)
2026 Outlook
Packers took Cisse as a second-round pick to address cornerback depth. Has high football IQ, solid closing speed, and is willing as a run defender. Can start immediately despite being just 20 years old. Competes with Carrington Valentine and Benjamin St-Juste for starting role opposite Keisean Nixon in Jonathan Gannon's new defense. Even if he doesn't start Week 1, expected to have significant role right away (per How Many Packers 2026 Draft Picks Could Be Starting Week 1?).
Cornerback has been the Packers' biggest weakness in recent seasons, so it became their top draft priority—they gave up their first-round pick in the Micah Parsols blockbuster and used pick 52 on Cisse. He's an athletic specimen with a 41-inch vertical leap who will compete immediately for reps alongside Valentine and Nixon.
