PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Kalen King is best utilized as an Outside Man/Press Cornerback. He demonstrates a feisty competitive nature and does not give wide receivers an inch in coverage. He is a fleet-footed, quick-twitch cover man with excellent corrective quickness and mobility, making him highly effective in man coverage. However, his average size and sometimes uncontrolled movements at stems could be limiting factors against larger, more physical receivers. His style fits well with aggressive defensive schemes that rely on man coverage and require cornerbacks to support run defense.
CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS
Mid-Level Starter Potential (60-64)
A mid-level starter potential prospect is a player who is likely to be a mid-level starter on their team, but with the potential to exceed expectations within 2-3 years. They have good physical tools and athleticism and can perform at a high level. They have some weaknesses, but they are minor. These players are typically fourth- or fifth-round picks, and they have the potential to be starters in the league.
