The second year Falcons cornerback is going to get a dream opportunity. Will he sink or swim?
The Atlanta Falcons mothership has written about Akeem King a couple of times over the last week, wondering if he could carve out a larger role and talking up his readiness should he get one. While both were worthy articles, we do need to remember two things with King.
- He looked better than he had any right to as a seventh round pick last year, which bodes well for 2016;
- He is going to have a larger role than the coaching staff would've hoped for heading into the season, thanks to Jalen Collins' four game suspension.
