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. Hard to believe how far he had fallen in just two years.

Great. So, he's gonna play lights out, sign a lucrative contract and then disappear. Hey, if Packers win it all because of it, so be it!

Yeah, we’ve seen that before. Play great for a contract, then just collect paychecks.
But like you said, if it got us a super bowl win, that would be great!

Kevin King fits right in there in my mind. When healthy and on the field he is damn good. He's just not that fortunate to be healthy game in and game out.

Even when healthy, I think King is crazy I consistent. King has played absolutely great at times, but also struggled a ton at times and when he makes a mistake, it's usually been a big one leading to at least 30 yards if not more.

King struggles with footwork quickness to keep up with the super quick guys, and cuts/switching directions at full speed.

Also with the reoccuring shoulder injury, which he says he got as a freshman in college.

I'd be slow in giving him a big money deal, though yes, Packers other options aren't that pretty right now.

But maybe CB can be our one big FA from the outside in 2021?

Or maybe King will pull it all together in 2020, or someone else will.

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
