A 7th-round Day-3 pick (232nd overall) who broke into a 15-game role as a rookie and stayed there. The 9 PDs in 2023 ranked top-10 among rookie corners that season — for a player whose draft slot suggested practice squad.
The coverage volume settled to 5 PDs in each of the two follow-up years, but the snap share grew.

3 seasons in Green Bay: 87 tackles, 19 PDs, 2 forced fumbles — steady-state CB2.
TrendAcross three seasons Valentine has averaged 29 tackles + 6.3 PDs per year — the kind of dependable second-corner production teams pay for in free agency.
The 2024 dip (12 games, 20 tackles) traced back to a rotation behind Jaire Alexander and Keisean Nixon. By 2025 he was back to 15 games and 28 tackles — full-snap CB2 reps in Jeff Hafley's defense.
2024: 2 forced fumbles in 12 games — more than half the league's corners produce in a career.
SplitForced fumbles by corners are rare — typically 0-1 across a career. Valentine's 2 in a single 2024 season is a turnover-production marker that doesn't usually show up on the stat sheet of a player drafted in the 7th round.
It's the kind of secondary stat that gets a Day-3 player a second contract.
19 career PDs as a 7th-round corner — top-tier ROI for the 2023 Packers draft class.

Three years of CB2-equivalent production from a 232nd overall pick is the kind of return that justifies an entire draft class. Most 7th-rounders don't see 200 NFL snaps; Valentine is at 42 games started or rotated with 19 PDs to show for it.
The contract Green Bay extends — or doesn't — at the end of 2025 will be the market signal for how much this profile is worth.
