Pros

• Vertical carry
• Ability to match vertical releases of opposing pass catchers with smooth cross over run into sprint
• Versatility
• Can play in the slot or to the boundary with similar results as press corner
• Man coverage
• Efficient movement skills allow him to play anywhere on the field and even press with single high safety shell behind him

Cons

• Height
• Smaller player that while versatile in alignment may be better off as nickel or slot CB in the league
• Balance
• Occasionally stumbles when trying to transition on underneath routes that require twitch movements
• Physicality
• Can be brushed off at the top of his routes. Could be another balance issue but contact seems to lose him

Eval:

King is an impressive corner that shows proficiency in arguably the hardest position on defense. His ability to play man coverage with no safety help while aligned in the slot and against some stiff competition will have teams clamoring for his services as a nickel. However, his overall physical profile may limit his protection beyond the slot, leaving teams to push him down the board as a slot

Floor Comp: Garrett Williams

Solid player who can make it work out of the slot.

Ceiling Comp: Coby Bryant

Slot player with movement ability and solid man coverage traits.
