“We seem him as one of those guys that’s going to help on a lot of fronts. … That’s the exciting thing for us is the ability that he can do so many things.”

The Packers’ thoughts for the 2017 season — preparations for which will take another significant step on Monday when their annual full-squad organized team activity practices kick off — have been focused on several things this offseason.

They wanted to get bigger, and both their second round picks — cornerback Kevin King (6-foot-3, 200 pounds) and Jones (6-foot-2, 220 pounds) — fit the bill there. They also wanted to get faster, something both King (4.43-second 40-yard dash) and Jones (4.41) are, too. But they also wanted to be more versatile, and that’s just as important to McCarthy as speed and size. And again, King, who played safety, slot corner and outside corner at Washington, and Jones, who was already lining up at linebacker at the rookie camp, can do.
