Desmond King was far and away the most exciting rookie the team had during the 2017 season. In a draft haul that included Mike Williams, Forrest Lamp, and Dan Feeney, who would have thought that the team’s fifth-round pick out of Iowa would be the one making the most noise?
After working his way into the starting lineup as the team’s slot corner, King has done nothing but expand his presence on the field and show the coaching staff just how versatile he can be. Whether it is covering the opposing team’s tight end (who usually towers over King) or being tasked with bringing some heat off the edge, King has excelled at just about everything asked of him.
