How about King?

I'll be honest, I'd never even heard of him before this game. To see him come in and hold one of the best TEs to a non-factor was amazing.

HE started the Bears game for us on MNF back in September.

King is 6'3" 212 -- kind of a nice sized guy to matchup with a tight end

He is 6’1 215..... I know one site says 6’3” but it’s incorrect.

Crown him!!

See what I did there?!!!

No. What?

Oh wait, I get it. His first name is Akeem and Akeem Olajuwon was the king of the NBA for a couple of years there when Jordan retired. And a king wears a crown...nice.

Just another example of Pete and John's ability to draft well in rounds 2-7. Particularly on defense though the Carson pick was the absolute steal of that draft . First round has not been great but they go along ways to making up for that in the later rounds , pulling first round talent out of them fairly consistently.

Heck of a job coaching him up. In pre-season I though he was terrible so to play this well now, is kudos to the coaches and to him for coaching him up.

On his Pro Day he was measured at 6' 1.5".

I'd like to see King given the opportunity at FS. He's better than Tedric Thompson or Delano Hill.

Anyone know his 40? He seemed fairly quick out there but maybe because he was guarding a tight end.

According to his draft profile on NFL.com, he ran a 4.41 on his pro day. http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/akeem-king?id=2553456

Being at the game you could see the routes so much better than on TV. King deserves a game ball for that performance!
