The Packers chose Cisse, a 6-foot, 189-pound cornerback from South Carolina, with the 52nd overall pick to address roster depth behind starters Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine.
Cisse, who played at both NC State and South Carolina, impressed scouts with his athleticism, physicality, and versatility, despite recording only two interceptions in three college seasons.
