Rico Gafford is feeling more comfortable after switching from receiver back to cornerback at the request of Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur following the 2022 NFL draft.
The Packers think Gafford has a better chance of making the team after changing positions. And Gafford is embracing the opportunity to move back to cornerback, the position where he thrived in college.
“Playing DB is what I love. That’s who I am,” Gafford told Bill Huber of SI.com. “Just being out there, being able to compete, I just have a different type of feeling when I’m out there. I would explain it as having more swag out there. That’s what I would say. I just love it because I can really be myself.”
