D’Eriq King showing intangibles, leadership skills as Miami Hurricanes quarterback

Beyond Miami Hurricanes quarterback D’Eriq King’s on-field abilities, certain intangibles like his leadership qualities have also been lauded by UM coach Manny Diaz and others on the coaching staff.

“I just love the way he interacts with the players on his team,” Diaz told 560-AM on Tuesday morning. “There’s the ball stuff and what he can do playing quarterback, but I always see him after practice hanging out with three or four different guys. And I don’t know what they’re talking about, but they’re just doing something and it’s always a different group of guys. Last night, it was three offensive linemen.
