The NFL can be an absolute whirlwind. Rookie breakout seasons. Amazing comeback stories. Second-chance successes.
The latest Green Bay Packers news checks the box for those final two descriptions above.
Former Packers cornerback Kevin King has signed with the Atlanta Falcons, according to Tom Pelissero.
King has not played in the NFL since 2021.
The CB was a second-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. King sat out the 2022 season and then suffered an achilles injury in 2023 when trying to return to the league.
King played in 51 games for the Packers. He totaled 197 tackles, 30 passes defensed and seven interceptions. Teams targeted him quite often during his time in GB.
He had a career-high five interceptions during the 2019 season. Now, he will look to rekindle his pro career with the Falcons.
Offensive line versatility is valuable for the Packers
Green Bay could get a guard to start right away
