Desmond King

[Teresa Wickman]

Runs back the kickoff for a TD!

 

[MelroseHawkins]

You mean punt.

Now Justin Jackson (Northwestern) has given the Chargers the lead!

Major reppin' by the B1G. Jackson is filling in for another B1G alumni, Wisconsin's Melvin Gordon.

Rookie mistake. She is new to the game.

I'm a Steelers fan and not even mad. Every team had at least 4 rounds to take desmond and passed. They all deserve to pay the price

I'm happy for NFL fans. I've had the pleasure of watching him do this for years

If he stays healthy he will get his big pay day sooner than later

 

[HawksMN]

He's kind of a jack of all trades......and has mastered a few of them too.

You mean punt.

Duh, screwed that up!

 

[SmokeTownHawk]

Duh, screwed that up!

You'll get the hand of it.

That was around a 60 yard punt too.

He doesn't have Tim Dwight speed, of course, but has Dwight-like vision and hip action. That was smooth. Love it when guys flail about and punters try and tackle.

That's just it.

The punter outkicked his coverage. And one block was very close to being in the back.

Still happy for Desmond. And I'll bet the Chargers are too. He was one of the steals of that draft. And if the Chargers can come back from down eighteen in the second half in Pittsburgh they can win anywhere in January, including Kansas City and New England. A graphic came up showing that Pittsburgh was 220/0/2 when up fourteen or more in the second half at home. Now it's 220/1/2. Thanks in large part to the King!

So true. Every B1G coach that faced him would have picked him higher than what he ended up going in the draft. Good to see him delivering for the Chargers.

I see what you did there.

72yrds.

For those who say there was no personal benefit to King sticking around his senior year, the 2 skills that King seemed to get better at as a senior in college was...

Kickoff and punt returning.

Also got his degree. Which could come in handy if his next play is his last.

There is merit to this point.

Very happy for the King! It's just the bogus calls that stink! Would like to see the King run another couple back before the year is over.
