COSTA MESA, Calif. -- To say that Desmond King is a little feisty could be an understatement.
King basically wants to kick the guy's butt across from him on every single play.
"That's how I am," King said. "I'm going to stand on my own two feet and play as hard as I can all four quarters."
King's teammate Melvin Gordon was more succinct: "He's not the one to like to get tried."
That unapologetic bravado has served King well in plying his trade at one of the most difficult positions to play in the NFL: slot defender.
