Desmond King (Cornerback, University of Iowa) is a projected 1st Round 2017 NFL Draft Pick. Desmond has a great combination of size, tackling ability, ball skills, and special-teams ability as a return man. A Senior Bowl invite, no player in Iowa history has as many starts (51) or games played (53) as Desmond. He was the first Jim Thorpe Award winner ever to return to school, and he earned his degree in 3 1/2 years. Desmond earned multiple first- and second-team All-America honors this year and finished with 14 career interceptions, including one in the 2017 Outback Bowl.
