The Atlanta Falcons re-signed cornerback Kevin King to an undisclosed deal on Friday, the team announced. King will return for a second season in Atlanta after recording only 10 tackles (six solo), two pass breakups and a fumble recovery in 15 games played (one start) last year. It was the 29-year-old defensive back's first action in the NFL since 2021 after he didn't play at all in 2022 for personal reasons and missed the entire 2023 campaign due to a torn Achilles. King was used more on special teams in Atlanta and will probably do something similar in 2025. He was originally a second-round pick (33rd overall) in the 2017 NFL draft by the Green Bay Packers out of the University of Washington. In his five seasons with the Packers, King played in 51 of a possible 81 regular-season games and had 197 total tackles, seven interceptions, a sack, 30 pass breakups, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
