1. Kevin King

For both personal and team reasons, the Packers and King need King to play his best football down the stretch of the 2020 season and into the playoffs.

King is set to become a free agent in 2021 and it’s unclear if Green Bay will be able to afford him. When he’s healthy, he’s a legit corner who creates a nice one-two punch with the smaller Jaire Alexander. The only issue is King can’t seem to stay on the field, as he’s missed significant time in three of his four NFL seasons.

King’s status is once again unknown for Saturday’s contest against the Panthers, but hopefully, he can get healthy quickly. His talent is clear for everyone to see and Green Bay will need him against some of the high-powered offenses they’re sure to see in the postseason.
