Haynes King

King has the speed to continue to be a rushing threat in the NFL. His dual-threat ability is enticing. With his 4.46 40-yard dash speed, he averaged 143.3 carries and 759 rushing yards over the last three collegiate seasons. King isn't a twitchy runner in the open field or a tackle-breaking monster, but he has good patience and vision that mesh well with his raw speed. King doesn't have a cannon for an arm, but he has enough arm strength to make every necessary throw. He plays point guard well, peppering the short and intermediate with accurate and layered throws. His ball placement can waver at times, but overall, he has solid accuracy. King has a quick release and a compact delivery. He has the raw arm strength to get the ball downfield when necessary. His deep ball is elevated by his strong ball placement. King operated in a Georgia Tech offense that utilized RPOs, screens, and quick hitters a ton. He was tasked with some half-field reads, but not a ton. Adjusting to an NFL playbook will take a second, but luckily for King, more of the collegiate concepts are being utilized in the NFL these days. King doesn't play with a ton of aggression, opting to take what the defense gives him on many plays. The moments when he does reach into the off-script bag, he can make some nice plays, buying time with his legs and lacing some nice throws into tight windows. I'd love to see him ramp up the playmaking aggression just a tad, but I won't be mad at a quarterback that takes care of the ball. King had only a 1.0% turnover-worthy play rate in each of the last two seasons, with only eight interceptions total. He can be late to feel the pass rush/pressure at times, but his mobility can help him out of some jams. Overall, King has solid pocket presence, and he'll get to his checkdown quickly and keep the offense on schedule without churning negative plays. King isn't someone that you'll see crafting 5-7 plays a game with off-script wizardry. King profiles as a game managing backup with the upside to possibly develop into a league average starter with dual threat ability if everything goes right.
