Kevin King 'Soaking in Knowledge' From Packers' Veteran CBs

-- After the Green Bay Packers invested both of their first two picks in the cornerback position in last month's draft, it's easy to fall victim to the hype of two young, promising newcomers.

It's also easy to forget the Packers spent their 33rd overall pick in last year's draft on another cornerback -- Kevin King.

The 6-3 cornerback whose rookie season was plagued -- and eventually ended -- by a shoulder injury practiced in limited fashion on Tuesday in one of the Packers' two public OTA sessions this spring.

King, who was reportedly troubled by that injury since his freshman year at Washington, had successful surgery on what was believed to be a labrum tear that required him to wear a sling almost exclusively throughout his collegiate and NFL career.
