Standout Penn State CB to Enter Draft

Penn State Junior CB Justin King has, as expected, declared for the NFL Draft. King established himself as a shutdown cover corner during the 2006 season, and expectations were justifiably high for the heralded Pittsburgh native at the outset of this past season. Though King gave up more than a few TD’s in 2007, his overall performance was good enough to earn first-team all-Big Ten honors, and he leaves the Nittany Lion football program with 3 interceptions, 23 pass breakups, and 24 passes defensed in his career. King possesses solid size for a CB at 6’0,” but what really stands out is his speed and athletic ability. King stands a very good chance to record a sub-4.4 40-yard dash time, and his leaping ability should catch the attention of NFL GM’s and coaches in pre-Draft workouts as well. Good workouts would likely land King a Round 2 Draft grade, while below-average performances will probably result in a Round 3 selection.
