Surprise! Packers’ Cornerbacks Still Suck!

The Green Bay Packers had the 31st-ranked passing defense in 2016. Their remedy for that was to draft cornerback Kevin King with their top pick and bring back veteran free agent Davon House.

The team also, inexplicably, released LaDarius Gunter, who finished 2016 as the team’s No. 1 corner. So how did those changes ultimately work out in 2017?

Not real well.

House was beat up for much of the season. King initially tried to play through a lingering shoulder injury and was eventually shut down for the season. After a slow start and a benching, former first-round pick Damarious Randall eventually came on.
