I thought that Tom Johnson showed even more mobility than King in that first game - at least until he injured his calf muscle.

with Franklyn missing time, King will most likely make the cut.

We'd have to keep 5 DT's if King makes the cut. Its possible, but its gonna take a spot from somewhere else, like a 4th TE, or a 5th DE, or a 7th LB etc.

He's probably a great candidate for the phone squad.

“Mitch plays with a lot of effort, a lot of effort and energy,” said Johnson.

Damn even his own coach uses the "white" player cliche
