Packers Joe Barry gives Kevin King vote of confidence

Packers’ new Defensive Coordinator Joe Barry met with media this week and expressed confidence in all of his players, but what stood out the most was his comments about the distressing cornerback on the other side of Jaire Alexander.

The Buccaneers exposed Kevin King in the NFC Championship game last year, which led many to believe that he was on his way out of Green Bay. However, that was not the case as the Packers brought back King on a one-year five million dollar contract.

The decision to bring King back came as shock to many, but started to make a little more sense when the Packers used their first-round pick to select a raw cornerback prospect in Eric Stokes out of Georgia.
