During his first two seasons, Green Bay Packers corner Kevin King was mostly forgettable. That sort of thing tends to happen when you miss more games than you actually play. However, now he enters the final year of his rookie contract and is coming off his best season as a pro. Against all odds, King has gone from draft bust to presumably playing his way toward a second contract with the Packers.
The idea isn’t as crazy now as it was a year ago.
Before last season, King was getting no love as the season approached. Coming off a year in which he only played in six games, fans counted him out before the first snap in practice.
