Packers Roster Assessment, 2025 Off-Season

Another thing we have not considered. When Bullard was drafted one of his positives was his ability to play at both Nickel or on the Perimeter. Also Kalen King really slid in the draft. I know he was a late Day3 pick, but the prior draft he had Top 50 consideration. I’d be curious to see what he can do in Year2 given the chance. He was a 3rd Team All Big 10 CB in 2022 and 2nd Team Conference Corner in 2023. In 2022, King ranked #3 in the entire FBS in Pass Breakups(18). Across his 2021-22-23 seasons Kingbhad 3 INT, 25 PD and 6 TFL.
To give us an idea of that success rate, Eric Stokes across 2022,2023, 2024. 0 Passes Defensed. 1 TFL,
O INT!

Kalen King by pundits was considered Top50 going into his final college season.....HE WAS AUTROCIOUS that year. Most NFL teams were not high on him...

I think you have the wrong guy in Bullard - he in zero way was considered a perimeter corner. I didn't offhand think he played any outside, but I stand corrected....he BARELY did.

His two seasons as a starter:
2022 - 510 slot snaps, 18 wide, he had more defensive line alignment snaps (20) than wide.
2023 - 144 slot, 363 free safety, 7 wide, 80 box...

He is NOT a perimeter corner.

Yeah if I remember correctly, Bullard was picked as a slot corner who had also played safety. Maybe I'm wrong, but I never heard him pitched as an outside CB.

I'm hoping between King and Kamal Hadden, at least one, and hopefully both of them steps up in year 2.

Kamal Hadden in his last yr at Tennessee 2023. 3 INT'S, 9 PBU'S in 7 games, before a season ending Shoulder injury. He played almost all his college snaps outside.

Interesting and thanks. Yeah once guys are given a chance with more snaps, some surprisingly good things can happen. I'll keep an eye on both of these guys.
