Former Green Bay Packers cornerback Kevin King wasted no time making a splash play for his new team. In his preseason debut with the Atlanta Falcons, King — a second-round pick of the Packers in 2017 — intercepted Miami Dolphins quarterback Skylar Thompson with just over five minutes to go in the first quarter.
King returned the pick 29 yards, setting up a Falcons touchdown.
The Packers didn’t re-sign King following the 2021 season. Because of his decision to sit out the 2022 season and then a season-ending injury in 2023, Friday night’s preseason game with the Falcons was King’s first NFL action since playing eight defensive snaps in the Packers’ 13-10 playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Jan.
