Source: Green Bay Packers bring back Kevin King despite struggles in NFC title game

GREEN BAY, Wis. - The Green Bay Packers are bringing back cornerback Kevin King on a one-year contract worth up to $6 million, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

King, the Packers' top pick in the 2017 draft, had been much maligned throughout his career for injuries and inconsistent play. He ended his season by allowing Tom Brady's 39-yard touchdown pass to Scott Miller with one second left in the first half of the NFC Championship Game, then was flagged for pass interference on the drive that allowed the Buccaneers to run out the clock.
