Improvement II: Thumper
Disregard scouting reports who suggest Kevin King is not physical. He is. In fact, he is one tough son-of-a-gun. Don’t just take my word for it. Brian Jones from GNB.247sports.com has created an entire slideshow attesting to that point.

The Packers are emphasizing physicality and toughness. It was no mental lapse at 33 which brought King to the Packers. It was the determination that he brings the best to that defense at a position of need.
The Packers have landed one of the biggest most athletic defensive backs in the 2017 NFL Draft. Now they need to prepare him for the NFL and turn that Husky loose on receivers.
