<p>The Green Bay Packers wanted a corner this offseason to pair with Sam Shields for their pass-defense. So in the 2015 NFL Draft, the Packers took Damarious Randall with the No. 30 overall pick. And while it didn’t look pretty in the beginning, it looks like the Packers got their guy.</p> <p>In training camp, his rookie mistakes were exposed by the likes of Jordy Nelson and Davante Adams. But he would battle back and improve until injuring his grion and sitting out the preseason opener against the New England Patiots. But in the second preseason game, Randall played and made his presence felt against the Pittsburgh Steelers.</p> <p>He was good in coverage with some passes defenses and an interception along with coming up to make tackles in the run-game. The interception was on the backup quarterback but he had tight coverage and passes defensed on the ones. So the Packers and Randall get an A as in his only performance, he looks like the guy.</p>. CB. Green Bay Packers. DAMARIOUS RANDALL. A
