The Green Bay Packers kicked off Rookie Minicamp, giving the media their first eyes-on experience with the "Class of 2026." 

Marques caught up with the Packers' top pick -- cornerback Brandon Cisse -- who discussed his affinity for Charles Woodson, why he picked jersey No. 2, as well as his extensive film preparation as a self-described "football junkie." Also, we heard from fourth-round pick (steal?) Dani Dennis-Sutton. 

Oh, and Chase Claypool was at practice on a tryout basis. (Yes, seriously)

Number 2

The Green Bay Packers lost wide receivers Romeo Doubs (Patriots) and Dontayvion Wicks (Eagles) this offseason, seemingly opening the door for Matthew Golden to spread his wings in his second NFL season. 

The Packers extended Jayden Reed's contract, and plan to do the same with Christian Watson, cementing the trio of Reed, Golden and Watson as their top three wideouts. Marques expects big thigns for Golden in 2026. (or, as big as you can expect from a wide receiver in Matt LaFleur's offense, which tends to "share the wealth.") 

Meanwhile, we recap the 2026 NFL Draft in the NFC North with Michal Dwojak on the Bears to discuss Dillon Thieneman, as well as Nolan Bianchi discussing the Lions' picks of Blake Miller and Derrick Moore, and Andrew Krammer on the Vikings beefing up the defensive line and stealing a player on the Packers' radar(?!)

The Golden Year

Packers rookie cornerback Brandon Cisse wanted to go to South Carolina, straight out of high school, but was overlooked by the Gamecocks. Instead, he spent two years at North Carolina State before transferring to South Carolina. After a year at SC, he's now in the NFL. 

South Carolina co-defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach Torrian Gray joins the show to discuss the Packers' second-round pick. 

Also, NFL Draft analyst Ian Cummings joins the show to share his thoughts on Cisse, as well as nose tackle Chris McClellan, edge-rusher Dani Dennis-Sutton, offensive lineman Jager Burton, cornerback Domani Jackson, and kicker Trey Smack.

See-Say

It's a numbers game for the Green Bay Packers. After making just six picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Packers clearly feel like their roster is a tough one to crack. 

But second-round cornerback Brandon Cisse, third-round defensive tackle Chris McClellan and fourth-round edge rusher Dani Dennis-Sutton will likely fight for playing time immediately in 2026. Meanwhile, they traded up for Florida kicker Trey Smack, which may signal the end for Brandon McManus. 

Andy Herman joins the show to discuss the Packers' draft class. Plus, we break down the Jersey Numbers for the rookies. (Vital information, indeed.)
