Are the Atlanta Falcons in the running for Comeback Player of the Year?

A former player for the Green Bay Packers who missed the previous two seasons because of health issues is now a member of the Falcons. Prior to beginning their offseason training program, the Falcons are finalizing their roster.

 

Kevin King is making a return to the NFL

The Falcons claim that King was signed by the team following his two consecutive season absences:

King was productive prior to the injury.
The Green Bay Packers originally selected him out of Washington with a second-round pick.
After four years on a rookie contract, King and the Packers agreed to terms on a one-year deal in 2021. In 2022, King decided to sit out the season for personal reasons.
In 2023, he missed training camp due to a torn Achilles tendon.
This transaction marks King’s return to the NFL after two consecutive years away. King comes to Atlanta with five active seasons on his professional resume from 2017–21.
