While it didn’t happen during the first day of the NFL Draft, the University of Washington cornerback and his immediate family made the decision to stick it out and see where King would begin his career.
It’s a good thing they did.
King didn’t have to wait long on Day 2, as the Packers used the first pick of the second round (No. 33 overall) to select the 6-foot-3, 200-pound cornerback Friday.
“I came here for a reason. I came here to hear my name called,” said King, who was the only non-drafted prospect who stayed for Day 2.
