GREEN BAY – The Packers helped the cornerback position as soon as they could in the 2026 NFL Draft.
With its first pick, at No. 52 overall in the second round, Green Bay chose South Carolina CB Brandon Cisse.
Cisse spent two years at North Carolina State as a reserve before starting his final college season at South Carolina. In 2025 over 12 games, Cisse recorded 27 tackles, including 1½ for loss, with one interception, five passes broken up, and one forced fumble.
Those numbers mirrored what he posted in nine games as a reserve in 2024 at NC State, where he had 28 tackles, 1½ for loss and five PBUs that year.
At 5-11 ¾ and 189 pounds, Cisse recorded a 41-inch vertical jump at the scouting combine and a 4.41-second 40-yard dash at South Carolina's pro day.
Cisse joins a Packers cornerback group led by veterans Keisean Nixon, Carrington Valentine and free-agent signing Benjamin St-Juste.
