Coach Ansley Notes: Kalen King Has Potential to Compete for Outside Position if He Maintains Current Form

Green Bay, WI – May 16, 2025

Green Bay Packers’ passing game coordinator, Derrick Ansley, has shared positive remarks about young cornerback Kalen King, stating that he has the potential to compete for an outside cornerback position in the starting lineup if he continues to maintain his current form, according to ESPN sources.

Kalen King, selected by the Packers in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, has shown significant effort in proving his worth. After initially being cut from the active roster, King was retained on the practice squad and later signed a futures contract in January 2025. During recent training sessions, he has made a strong impression on the coaching staff. “I don’t want to speak too soon—knock on wood—but if Kalen keeps up this form, he absolutely has the ability to compete for an outside spot,” Ansley shared in a recent interview.

King, a former standout at Penn State with 82 tackles, 3 interceptions, and 21 pass breakups in 2022, is steadily regaining his confidence after a challenging 2023 season. His speed and quick reflexes are seen as well-suited for the outside position, where he could face off against top opposing wide receivers.

Currently, the Packers’ outside cornerback spots are highly competitive, with names like Jaire Alexander, Nate Hobbs, and Carrington Valentine in the mix. However, if Alexander were to depart due to salary cap concerns—as rumored recently—or if King outperforms Valentine in upcoming training sessions, he could secure a starting role. Additionally, reserve cornerbacks like Kamal Hadden and Isaiah Dunn are also competitors King will need to surpass to solidify his spot.

Packers fans are hopeful that Kalen King will continue to progress and become a key part of the team’s defense. With preseason games and OTAs approaching, King will have the opportunity to prove he deserves the confidence placed in him by Coach Ansley and the staff.

Eagles Legend Wants to Withdraw from Eagles Hall of Fame If Kevin Patullo Isn't Fired
Can you believe it? A living legend of the Philadelphia Eagles, LeSean McCoy, is "rebelling" and threatening to withdraw from the Eagles Hall of Fame – the place that honors his great contributions! The reason? All because of offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo! What's happening with this legendary team? Read now for the hottest NFL "drama"! On his Speakeasy show, McCoy "dropped a bomb" with a shocking statement: “Take me off. Nobody has ever asked. I’m going to say ‘Mr. Lurie, it’s either me or Kevin’. If Kevin is not fired, put 25 back out there on the street.” (Translation: "Remove me. No one has ever asked. I'm going to say 'Mr. Lurie, it's either me or Kevin'. If Kevin isn't fired, put number 25 back on the street.") Number 25 – McCoy's legendary jersey number – could be "kicked out" of the Hall of Fame if Patullo remains in position? This isn't a joke, but a direct challenge to team owner Jeffrey Lurie! This "extreme" demand stems from extreme disappointment with the disastrous performance of the Eagles' offense under Patullo. The team that once "soared high" is now "free-falling" with silly mistakes, and McCoy isn't the only one "furious." Even Josh Reynolds "cursed" Patullo: “Kevin Patullo should never see the light of day again for the crimes he’s committed…” (Translation: "Kevin Patullo should never see the light of day again for the crimes he’s committed...") Is Patullo the "culprit" causing the Eagles to "sink"? Look at the "tragedy" of quarterback Jalen Hurts: In the most recent Monday Night Football game, he threw three interceptions – one of which was blamed on AJ Brown! Comparing this year's offensive stats to last year? Worlds apart! The problem isn't just the weak offensive line, but also the play-caller – Patullo is "miserably compared" to Kellen Moore, who once elevated the offense to new heights. The article points out: The Eagles are repeating a "historical curse" – the offense always "collapses" after losing a good coordinator, like in previous Super Bowl runs. Nick Sirianni is heavily criticized for the decision to hire Patullo: "A fatal mistake"! 👀 Eagles legend LeSean McCoy says if #Eagles do not fire OC Kevin Patullo he wants out of Hall of Fame “Take me off. Nobody has ever asked. I’m going to say ‘Mr. Lurie, it’s either me or Kevin’. If Kevin is not fired, put 25 back out there on the street”📸 @speakeasytlkshw pic.twitter.com/DcOkLiQejA — Jeff Skversky (@JeffSkversky) December 10, 2025 And the "darkest" data: In shotgun formation (51 plays), the Eagles only achieved 4.2 yards/play, 2.2 yards/rush, 5.2 yards/pass, with 4 "stupid" interceptions. But under center (15 plays)? Explosive with 10.2 yards/play, 8.8 yards/rush, 16.0 yards/pass, and 0 interceptions! Clearly, the offense performs "miraculously" better when balanced – so why is Patullo still "stubbornly persisting" with the outdated play style? Eagles fans are "boiling with rage": Will the team listen to McCoy and "deal with" Patullo to save the season? This drama is "exploding" on social media! McCoy – with his illustrious career at the Eagles – is he really withdrawing from the Hall of Fame? Or is this a "ploy" to push for change? Who will Jeffrey Lurie choose: The legend or the "culprit"? Don't miss out – follow now to see the "shocking" outcome of the Eagles' internal war! What do you think, comment below!
