Eric Stokes

Some raised an eyebrow when the Packers selected Stokes at the end of the first round last year, but no one was doing that by the end of his impressive rookie year. The Packers needed Stokes to step up with Jaire Alexander missing most of the season, and he wound up starting 14 of 16 games while grading out as one of the better coverage corners in the league. Although he had just one interception, he did register 14 pass deflections over 16 games. Stokes is slated to start opposite Alexander in 2022, and that duo plus Rasul Douglas could form one of the better cornerback trios in the league.

Speed is the name of the game for Stokes, and a 4.31 40-yard dash from his pro day played a big part in the Packers' selecting him 29th overall in April. He isn't guaranteed to open the season as a starter, but he figures to push incumbent Kevin King and could snag the spot opposite Jaire Alexander with a strong showing in camp. One way or another, Stokes should play a key role for the Packers in his rookie year.
