In terms of draft capital, perhaps no team in the NFL has invested more in the secondary in recent years than the Green Bay Packers, and certainly not in the last two.

King was the top pick in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft, and the Packers spent their top two picks in 2018 on cornerbacks Jaire Alexander and Joshua Jackson.

King is going to have some big expectations after a slightly disappointing rookie season where he played just nine games (due to injury) and 36.1 percent of the Packers’ defensive snaps.

Built with great size at 6-foot-3, 200 pounds and incredible athleticism (4.43 in the 40-yard dash, 39-inch vertical), King has every tool you could want in a corner.

If he can be physical and come back from season-ending shoulder surgery stronger than he was before, he is definitely a candidate to break out in 2018.
