Draft Scouting Report
Pro Comparison: Kyle Fuller
Summary
Brandon Cisse is an explosive, high-energy cornerback who plays like he’s shot out of a cannon. He’s a premier athlete with the speed and agility to stick to receivers like glue, whether he’s lining up on the outside or in the slot. What truly separates him from typical defensive backs is his aggressive mindset in the run game. While he sometimes takes risks trying to jump routes, his recovery speed and elite closing burst allow him to consistently disrupt plays at the catch point.
About
- 2025: 21.1% forced incompletion rate (seventh among SEC CBs), per TruMedia
- 2025: 27 tackles (19 solo), 1.5 TFL, 1 INT, 1 FF
Strengths
- Explosive linear burst allows him to stay in phase on deep routes.
- Attacks ball carriers with rare physicality and strong wrap-up tackling ability.
- Exceptional change-of-direction skills to mirror receivers and drive on short routes.
Weaknesses
- At times body catches instead of trusting his hands and high-pointing the football.
- Needs to avoid biting on double moves and play with more patience.
Combine Data
- Vertical jump: 41 inches
- Broad jump: 10 feet, 11 inches

Packers' Brandon Cisse: Grabbed by Green Bay
The Packers selected Cisse in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 52nd overall.
Cisse (5-foot-11, 189 pounds) is something of a projection at the NFL level, still needing refinement in terms of route coverage and ball skills, but his combination of speed (4.41-second 40-yard dash) and frame promise intriguing upside as an outside corner. Though Cisse isn't necessarily a lock to push starting CBs Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine for more than rotational reps as a rookie, neither incumbent veteran played to a high enough level in 2025 to be considered truly entrenched. In his rookie year, it also wouldn't be surprising to see Cisse's athleticism earn him a role on special teams. Both Nixon and Valentine are entering the final years of their respective deals, so Cisse should have a clear path to a starting opportunity no later than 2027.
