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 solid, dependable starter with the potential to exceed expectations. They have good athleticism and tools but may lack elite traits. While they show flashes of high-level play, they also have some notable weaknesses that must be developed. These players often need 2-3 years to establish themselves.
