Nixon, a two-time All-Pro returner, saw fewer opportunities with the new kickoff rules and would like to exclusively play cornerback.

Keisean Nixon wants to be done returning kicks, and not just because the two-time All-Pro return man fumbled the opening kickoff in the Green Bay Packers' playoff loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

Green Bay Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon also excels as the team's return specialist, but he's no longer interested in performing double duties

Green Bay Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon sounded off on his role with the team following their wild-card exit in the NFL playoffs.

The Packers got off to a nightmare start when Keisean Nixon fumbled the opening kickoff after taking a huge hit by Philadelphia's Oren Burks. Three plays later the Eagles scored a touchdown and seized control early at home. Nixon spoke Monday about the costly fumble and had a rather honest admission about that big hit by Burks.

The Green Bay Packers could not have had a worse start to their much-ballyhooed playoff game against Jalen Hurts and a heavily favored Philadelphia Eagles team.

Keisean Nixon was an All-Pro kick returner in 2022 and 2023 for the Packers, but that's not how he sees things playing out for him in 2025 and beyond.

The Green Bay Packers have a need at cornerback, and it's hard to argue with that—especially if they trade or release Jaire Alexander. Based on how the 2024 season went, Keisean Nixon is part of the solution.
