Following the 53-man roster deadline, the Pittsburgh Steelers have signed cornerback Desmond King II. So, I will continue the series by looking at data of his 2022 season in coverage, including current and recent Steelers for comparative context.

King was on the field quite a bit for the Houston Texans last season, playing in all 17 games with 492 coverage snaps, which tied for 31st among 115 qualifying cornerbacks (minimum of 25 targets).
