Packers rookie cornerback Carrington Valentine now has the biggest opportunity of his career after the Rasul Douglas trade.
Green Bay Packers rookie cornerback Carrington Valentine often looked to veteran Rasul Douglas for advice as the seventh-round draft pick from Kentucky attempted to make a successful transition to the NFL.

'Shoot, I got all the confidence in them,' Alexander said. 'Those are the next guys up. Those are the next guys in line and both of them have some experience playing, so it’s just going to be how soon they’ll be able to make these plays that we need.' Green Bay’s secondary is looking to bounce back after the Packers allowed the Vikings to go 10 of 18 on third-down conversion attempts Sunday. Valentine caught the Packers’ attention with an impressive preseason.
