A look at Nate Hobbs’ one-year stint with the Packers
Nate Hobbs recorded 27 tackles (14 solo), two pass deflections and 2.5 stuffs in the 2025 season with the Packers. However, the cornerback was placed on the season-ending injured reserve list due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 17 against the Baltimore Ravens.
The Packers finished with a 9-7-1 record in the regular season. They made it to the playoffs, but crashed out in the wild-card round with a loss to the Chicago Bears.
It will be interesting to see where Hobbs will play in the 2026 season.
