    5 things to know about Packers seventh-round pick Kalen King

    The Green Bay Packers used the 255th overall pick in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL draft on Penn State cornerback Kalen King, a 2022 All-American who saw his draft stock plummet following a disappointing 2023 season. Did the Packers find a seventh-round steal? If King can regain his sophomore year form, he could make noise in a cornerback room full of veterans in Green Bay — not unlike Carrington Valentine, a seventh-rounder last year.

    Last week, Hafley also mentioned an overlooked corner prospect he'd worked with previously, K'Waun Williams, who went undrafted back in 2014 but made Cleveland's roster as a tryout player when Hafley was the DBs coach there. Williams, whom Hafley had helped recruit to Pitt and coached him his freshman year, ended up playing as many defensive snaps as Browns first-round draft pick Justin Gilbert during their rookie seasons. "It doesn't matter where you were drafted, it's what you're going to do now going forward," Hafley said of King.
