GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN – SEPTEMBER 26: Alshon Jeffery #17 of the Philadelphia Eagles can’t make the catch on the two point conversion in the third quarter against Kevin King #20 of the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on September 26, 2019 in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

10. Kevin King

With Jaire Alexander locking down his side of the field, opposing offenses will likely target Kevin King early and often on the outside. When healthy, King can hold his own at cornerback. At 6-foot-3, he has good size and can match up with some of the bigger wide receivers in the game. Unfortunately, he’s struggled this season and has only recorded a PFF coverage grade of 48.1

Furthermore, as PFF’s 99th graded corner (out of 126 qualified players), he also struggles in providing support in the running game. In other words, his tackling leaves a lot to be desired. Green Bay will need King to rise to the occasion if they want to become a serious contender for the Lombardi Trophy.
