If you watch King's 2nd interception, he does a great job of getting his head around to track the ball and then using his great hands to catch it.
A lot of other college CB's never get their head around because they don't trust their eyes and just want to get hands up (Mabin does this).
King isn't the 6'1" speedster at corner that might typically have NFL scouts drooling, but his technique, hands and reads are so good that he sure is playing like an All American at this point. The sneaky thing is.....he has such value as a tackler and at worst as a special teamer that he's floor is pretty high from a drafting standpoint.
I hope he sticks around next year, but he's as good as we've had here for a long, long time (Kinnick?) already. With a 4th year, his career would take on epic proportions if he keeps on making plays at this rate.
We have a good team that has a few key players who can shift a game, and King (Ott, CJ, Jaleel) is clearly one of them. They all showed up today (Canzeri too!).
