Fourth-round rookie S Jerron McMillian has played 78 percent of the Packers' defensive snaps over the past three weeks.
McMillian replaced M.D. Jennings as the nickel safety after the season opener. His 6.69 -second three-cone agility run was tops among safeties at the NFL Combine, and the coaches love his short-area quickness as well as his football IQ. According to Pro Football Focus, McMillian has been an asset in both run defense and coverage. Fri, Oct 5, 2012 10:43:00 AM

Fourth-round pick Jerron McMillian is a longshot for the Packers' starting strong safety job.

Charlie Peprah is penciled in as the starter opposite FS Morgan Burnett and M.D. Jennings has "turned heads" in his pursuit of the No. 3 safety job. An athletic, "box" safety, McMillian still has plenty of learning to do and figures to work in a reserve role as a rookie.

Packers agreed to terms with No. 133 overall pick S Jerron McMillian on a four-year contract.

Known for a willingness to throw his body around at Maine, McMillian recorded 88 tackles, including 10.5 for a loss as a senior. He gained pre-draft attention with an eye-opening 4.35 forty at his pro day in addition to a three-cone time of 6.69 at the Combine, best among strong safeties. The Packers hope he can eventually step into the void left by Nick Collins' release.

Packers selected Maine SS Jerron McMillian with the No. 133 overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft.

GM Ted Thompson has gone defense with each of his first five picks. An all-conference selection each of the past two years, McMillian ran a 4.56 forty and had the third best vertical leap (36") of any strong safety at the Combine. McMillian is an explosive "box" safety who plays the run well and can also patrol centerfield. With improvement in fundamentals, McMillian could end up as the starter in Green Bay.
