What happened: Green Bay selected Cisse out of South Carolina with its first pick in April's NFL draft. The rookie is entering his first NFL preseason.

Why it matters: The second-round investment gives Cisse an early opportunity to compete for work in the secondary. LaFleur's assessment adds a character endorsement to the cornerback's on-field evaluation.

What to watch: Cisse's role in Green Bay's preseason game will offer the next measure of his push for snaps.
