Former Green Bay Packers second-round pick returns to the NFL.
The Atlanta Falcons have signed cornerback Kevin King, as reported on their official website Monday. This move marks King’s return to the NFL after two years out.
King joins Atlanta after five busy seasons from 2017 to 21. King was initially picked by the Green Bay Packers in the second round from Washington. After four years on a rookie contract, King and the Packers agreed to a one-year deal in 2021.
