Godfrey King has all the makings of the next big thing. The defensive tackle out of Temple University is an interior rusher with a skill set well beyond his years. Part of what makes him so great is the work ethic he shows both on and off the field. It was this work ethic that made him a captain at Temple his Junior and Senior years. In a league that has been waiting for players like him, King is sure to turn heads this year at the draft, with many projecting him to go very early.
Many would point to his less than ideal number of tackles his senior year as a possible concern, but Godfrey sees it in a different light. "Did I break any records in tackles senior year? No. But I'm happy because that means our other guys were making plays, and I think I had a big part in that. I try my best to be a leader and someone all of the guys on the team can come to, and I think our defense was really good last year, and that I did a lot to help with that." While King's impact is immeasurable, the defensive stats speak for themselves. Temple was 3rd in the FBS last year in run defense.
Godfrey King is certainly one to be watching out for, and he is a prime prospect to take the league by storm this upcoming season.
