Green Bay, Wisconsin \u2013 Just three hours after hearing the news that he had been selected by the Green Bay Packers in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, Brandon Cisse could not hold back his emotions. He burst into tears in the arms of his family and friends.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

At that moment, memories of the difficult days in college came flooding back. Cisse recalled the times he was doubted by coaches, placed on the bench for long periods, and nearly cut from the team. He was once evaluated as \u201ctoo small,\u201d \u201cnot fast enough,\u201d and \u201cnot having the potential to become a starter\u201d at the college level.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been through things people don\u2019t see\u2026 There were moments I thought it was all over for me. A lot of doors closed, a lot of doubt crept in \u2013 but the Packers believed when it mattered most. I won\u2019t forget that\u2026 and I won\u2019t waste it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Cisse has gone through a difficult but inspiring journey. From being undervalued and little trusted at the beginning of his college career, he has risen to become one of the most promising cornerbacks in the 2026 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n
