He mainly lines up at inside linebacker but has shown the versatility to play outside the box as well. King does a great job of reading his keys and flowing to the ball quickly against the run. He is a very reliable tackler in the open field once he gets to the ball carrier. King has also proven to be reliable in pass coverage, coming away with two interceptions last season.
