Kevin King Joins Atlanta Falcons After Two-Year Hiatus

The former Green Bay Packers cornerback signs with the Falcons, marking his return to the NFL since 2021.

Kevin King, the former Green Bay Packers cornerback, has signed a one-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons, returning to the NFL after a two-year absence.
King's hiatus was due to personal reasons in 2022 and a torn Achilles tendon in 2023, which he suffered during offseason workouts.
The signing addresses a critical need for the Falcons, seeking to bolster their secondary alongside A.J. Terrell.
King has connections with several members of the Falcons' coaching staff, including defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake and secondary coach Justin Hood.
Despite his absence, King boasts a career with 7 interceptions, 30 passes defensed, and two forced fumbles over five seasons.
