During the off-season, the Green Bay Packers have placed significant emphasis on strengthening their defense. The acquisition of Xavier McKinney as a free agent appears to be a significant move that could greatly impact Jeff Hafley’s defensive strategies. However, several other actions suggest a shift towards a new defensive era.

The departure of De’Vondre Campbell and the re-signing of Keisean Nixon and Corey Ballentine are three notable moves that signal this change. Additionally, there has been another addition to the defense that seems promising for bolstering depth.

The Green Bay Packers Add Another Young Defensive Back For 2024

According to ESPN’s Rob Demovsky:

The Green Bay Packers have re-signed cornerback Robert Rochell, according to a reliable source.

Rochell joined the Packers in late October after being on the Carolina Panthers’ practice squad. Although he wasn’t tendered as a restricted free agent, the Packers have opted to bring him back for further evaluation.

The 26-year-old Rochell appeared in nine games for the Packers during the previous season. During his nine appearances, Rochell contributed on special teams, participating in 112 snaps and making four tackles.

Throughout his career on special teams, Rochell has been involved in punt coverage, punt return, kickoff coverage, and kickoff return without incurring penalties or missing tackles.
