ATLANTA -- There isn’t a football coach alive who wouldn’t drool at seeing Desmond King, Delano Hill, Khalid Hill, Jourdan Lewis, and Malik McDowell on the field at the same time.

But that was nearly an everyday occurrence a decade or so ago in west Detroit.

King is a junior cornerback at the University of Iowa, where he was named First Team All-Big Ten Conference and received the Tatum-Woodson Award as the league’s top defensive back.
