In 2019, third year cornerback Kevin King has now equaled his career-high in games played. He suited up nine times for the Green Bay Packers as a rookie in 2017 and just six last season, but he has been active for every one of the team’s nine contests in 2019. However, on Sunday he appeared to be limited throughout the Packers’ 26-11 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, and he played just over a quarter of the team’s defensive snaps.
This surely was not the plan for coordinator Mike Pettine. King has been a starter all season long, and he has largely played well — and has made three critical fourth-quarter interceptions to boot.
