GREEN BAY, Wis. – The dust hadn’t settled on the 2023 NFL Draft when mock drafts for 2024 were unveiled.
At Pro Football Focus, Kalen King was slated to go 15th overall. At The Athletic, Dane Brugler had King going 16th. At Bleacher Report, King was the 20th pick.
On Saturday, the Green Bay Packers made King the 255th of 257 picks in the 2024 NFL Draft.
What happened? How did King go from an All-American who ranked third nationally with 21 passes defensed in 2022 to the 36th of 36 cornerbacks selected this weekend?
On a Zoom call shortly after the pick, King answered the question emotionally.
