Green Bay Packers: 5 Free Agents on Defense Who Won’t Return in 2022

No. 4: CB Isaac Yiadom

Acquired in a trade with the New York Giants in exchange for former second-round draft pick Josh Jackson, the Green Bay Packers simply have not received any on-field value from Isaac Yiadom, who is currently playing on his third team since being drafted by the Denver Broncos 99th overall in 2018.

When Titletown lost superstar defensive back Jaire Alexander early in the season, they’ve been reliant on their depth to help keep them afloat. While players like Rasul Douglas and rookie Eric Stokes have stepped up, Yiadom has continued to prove he’s more of a liability than an asset in the secondary.

They say that a player’s abilities on the field aren’t best shown in their stats and rather by the eye test. However, Isaac Yiadom doesn’t pass either test. Time and time again, the corner is exposed by opposing receivers, and his shutdown ability, or lack thereof, is well-deserved of the 36.2 coverage rating assigned to him by PFF.

Isaac Yiadom has lost his place in the depth chart at cornerback and has since been strictly assigned to a special teams role in which he’s nearly invisible. Even when he does make a play, it’s more associated with the fact that even a blind squirrel can find a nut sometimes.

Due to his inability to cover a rock with a blanket, Yiadom is an easy target for the ax in the offseason.
