Nixon’s Year With the Green Bay Packers
The Packers’ special teams have been a disappointment over the years, but Nixon became a beam of light in a dark room. He took over kick-returning duties in week 8 and never looked back. He had 1,009 kick return yards, including a 105-yard touchdown against the Vikings.
Nixon is the most electric returner for the Green Bay Packers since Micah Hyde and will look to have another big year in 2023.
