 Kevin King, Washington

At 6’3” Kevin King is the prototypical Pete Carroll rangy corner. The Seahawks don’t even need to search beyond city limits to find a candidate that fits the mold. The University of Washington product has excellent anticipation and seems to have a knack for running routes for opposing receivers. King is rarely beat over the top and shows great quickness jumping on intermediate and underneath routes.

Aside from his coverage ability King is also a great tackler. He isn’t afraid to do the dirty work as he routinely puts his pads into the chest of running backs. This is somewhat of an unfair comparison, but his total package ability is reminiscent of Richard Sherman.

With major upside, King is worth a look for the Seahawks.
