GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — After ending his 2020 season with a disappointing performance in the NFC championship game, cornerback Kevin King stayed with the Green Bay Packers rather than leaving via free agency.
This preseason, King has not only been battling back from a hamstring injury, he’s also been competing with first-round draft pick Eric Stokes to keep his starting job.
And yet, there’s no place he’d rather be, regardless of the challenges of the recent past and the present.
“I really didn’t want to be nowhere else, to be honest,” King said after practice Tuesday, the first time he’s had the opportunity to speak with reporters since the Packers’ season-ending 31-26 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
