They said it: Packers talk CB Brandon Cisse, DL Chris McClellan

The Green Bay Packers drafted South Carolina cornerback Brandon Cisse and Missouri defensive tackle Chris McClellan during Day 2 of the 2026 NFL draft. Members of the Packers front office, including general manager Brian Gutekunst, senior personnel executive Milt Hendrickson and scout Mike Owen, were on hand to provide break downs of the new draft picks. A collection of quotes on Cisse and McClellan: CB Brandon Cisse Gutekunst: "He's one of the few guys that can play off man, can play press.

His suddenness through transition is something that stood out to us. He's very young, we think his best football is ahead of him. We think he's got so much left in the tank not only as a player but physically as well, he'll get bigger and stronger…really like the fact that he took the step and went to South Carolina last year, better competition, and really showed well this past year.

" Gutekunst on Cisse being 20: "We've always tried to take guys that we think have more left in development. He played at a high level and we think he can help us next year and we think his upside is really good. There's not a lot of 20-year-olds in the draft.

We took one one time named Kenny Clark. That worked out pretty well. Hopefully, this works out that well.
