Former Thorpe winner a prospective pick for Dallas

Desmond King has a pedigree for success. He won the Jim Thorpe Award in 2015 and was a unanimous All-American.

The four-year starter played 94 percent of his teams snaps on defense and picked off 14 throws during his college career.


NFL scouts worry about his speed and he has received his fair share of penalties.

King is expected to be an early middle rounds pick.
