GREEN BAY – Bashaud Breeland officially is the newest member of the Packers' secondary.

Breeland, 26, recorded 270 tackles, 60 pass deflections with eight interceptions (one returned for a touchdown) in his first four NFL seasons with Washington, which selected the 5-foot-11, 195-pound cornerback in the fourth round (102nd overall) of the 2014 NFL Draft.

The signing of the fifth-year corner adds another versatile and experienced veteran to Green Bay's defense, which was in the market for a cornerback after Davon House was placed on injured reserve Wednesday morning.

Here are five things to know about the Packers' newest addition:

1. He was a four-year starter in Washington

Breeland started 58 of the 61 games he played during his four seasons in Washington (including playoffs). His 15 starts in 2014 were the most by a Washington rookie cornerback aside from the 16 started by Champ Bailey in 1999 and Pro Football Hall of Famer Darrell Green in 1983. Breeland made Gil Brandt's All-Rookie Team on NFL.com that season after recording 66 tackles, 14 passes defensed and two interceptions. He has experience playing both boundary and slot cornerback.

2. He always has his hand on the ball
