Appreciate the S/O Andy. Been following Pack a Day over 2 years now and I’m just now becoming a member haha

[@leolamorie-fitzgerald9216]

Didnt know about him till we drafted him but from everything I've heard he sounds like an absolute steal

Morning sunshine, I’ve been waiting on this video more than any other video not named Cooper

[@jakekuhnle1256]

I don't know who Boomhandle is but he's my favorite supporter. It's a great name and I salute you. Go Pack Go

[@MrHeeebz]

A good player with a chip on his shoulder is hard to beat. Thanks as always Andy.

[@JerC-h3q]

He ran a 4.61 at the combine but a 4.52 at his pro day. Not great but enough to be effective. Casey Hayward played a long time at a high level with the same measurements and comparable acombine results. King is a really good player, just needs to get his confidence back and some coaching.

I love getting Kalen King and Carrington Valentine in back to back 7th rounds. Hopefully King will excel but versatile backups are valuable as well. Robert Rochell seems to be the forgotten man in the CB room. He was a midseason addition that was a stud on special teams but never played a defensive snap and only has 260 defensive snaps under his belt through 3 seasons. His role may be just as a special teams guy but we know the Packers value that or he may be capable of much more. He was a small school developmental traits based draft pick with 4.41 speed, explosive leaping ability (43"VJ), and length that should play well in the new scheme. I'm excited to see what he can do with a full offseason with the team. Point being on Rochell that I see 7 CB fighting for likely 6 roster spots and it could come down to King vs Rochell. Rochell has special teams advantage but King's got the rookie contract in his favor.

I have 6th and 7th round players I have been intrigued and cautiously excited for...I am freaking pumped for King. Gutey has shown he can find talent with 7th rounders (Walker, Valentine, Melton -- which I get he did not draft but still applies). As well this kid is motivated. I do not have much expectations this year given the depth. Ceiling is very high for a 7th rounder.

[@TylerChapman-sh7jc]

He was definitely worth a second round pick last year but because he had Joe Barry Junior as his coach I can definitely see him making the team and getting playing time

[@bubbaone1575]

What would it say about Gutey and staff if in 2025, three starters at key positions (CB Valentine, CB King, and LT Walker) were 7th round picks?

[@WayneBond006]

It means we were right to believe 😂 #InGuteWeTrust

[@leehemmersbach8018]

It would say the player put in the work and the coaches provided that path

[@fabiantifosi]

It would be a much bigger endorsement of the coaching staff than of Gutey. The coaches are getting the most of the players potential.

[@billbrasky8904]

So how did he hide his lack of long speed in 2022?

[@mryujivang2347]

No deep dives on udfas?

[@JefferyT1991]

All I know is that stokes is cooked so hopefully king can ball. Definitely have more faith in king
