He's obviously  a guy that Caldwell and/or scouting department had paid attention to in the 2013 draft  -  so when he became available they took a shot.  Given all of the injuries at WR it's not a surprise.  The only interesting thing to me is that Kerry Taylor could have been elevated from our PS and he knows the playbook.  That tells me there is something they genuinely like about King.   

 

He's fast. (4.40 - 40 yard dash at combine. )  He was drafted in the 5th round (161st) by Denver in 2013. 

 

 

From a GA dawgs blog before the '13 draft:

 

Quote:...in 2012. The Mt. Airy native pulled down 42 passes for 950 yards and 9 touchdowns on the year, a nifty 22.6 yards per catch

Quote:….He's a field stretcher, the kind of guy pro-style offenses need to keep defenses honest. King isn't a big guy at 6'0 and around 190 pounds. But he runs the forty yard dash consistently in the 4.42 to 4.47 range, plenty fast enough to force NFL corners to turn and run. He's a field stretcher, the kind of guy pro-style offenses need to keep defenses honest.
