Will Desmond King stay?

[Trevor4Iowa]

After that clunker of a game, what about King? Will he stay?

His people will determine how high he might go in the draft. If he gets the number he wants, he'll hire an agent. However, his mother wants him to be the first in the family to graduate from college.

After today's performance. .....he's gone!

Meh after todays performance he might have dropped a round..

 

[hawkcub]

He was very non comital in the post game interview. Almost seemed like a very slight lean to coming back

 

[Hans81]

I would think opposite of an earlier posted, that is, after a clunker of a game like that he would want to come back for some unfinished business.

Today didnt help his pro case imo. He wont play cb in the pros and i wonder if playing safety at iowa for a year might help.

 

[backinblack23]

I hope he comes back. With him back next year and the only Db gone being Lomax they have a chance to be something special. I would think if he's not a first rounder he might return and try to get this sour taste out of his mouth. Just think if Ott can get his miracle this defense could be better than this year.

Hew struggled today. And Stanford went at him. He's not ready yet in my opinion. I know some talk awards and stats. That means nothing to nfl spots. It's all about forty time and 3 cone time and agility shuffle. He's probably a 4th rounds grade I'm guessing. Another year would do him well and that's putting my selfish side of wanting him back aside and being reasonable.

After his performance today, he'll be back with plenty to work on.

 

[Magic Dave]

He won every award a defensive back can win. He's gone.

 

[freemanbrenner]

It's one thing to get drafted in the first round it's another thing to play like a first round pick. There are guys who get drafted in the fourth round that end up being better than first rounders.

 

[MWardT]

Agreed, he won every award, and was the best defensive back. What else does he have to prove

 

[nw-iowa]

I'd like to see kirk move him on offense as a wide out & kick returns.

He was posterized by McCaffery on the one run and the announcers even made mention of it. The point is he was non-committal on the play. Of course, everyone on Iowa's defense whiffed while trying to tackle Christian McCaffery today.

 

[Capital1Hawk]

He's gone

There were a couple of times that King seemed reluctant to play football...I wondered if he was playing not to get hurt. If he hade made up his mind to go it would make sense. I still think he needs another year before he makes millions.

 

[Chicityhawkfan]

I think he's gone... I've seen mocks where he's the 2nd or 3rd corner taken... And definitely in the first 2 rounds... Really no reason for him to stay. Hope I'm wrong!!! Go Hawks!!!!

Josh Jackson looked pretty good again today. I hope King stays but I believe Iowa has a couple good young DBs ready to emerge.
