Insider Analysis King has struggled when given opportunities in Tampa Bay, and his viability as a regular NFL starter is in doubt. He has plus athletic ability and great intangibles in that department. He can tuck and run, make plays on the move, avoid the rush and hurt defenses with his scrambling. But he is an up-and-down passer who is killed by inconsistency. Has adequate arm strength, throws a good deep ball and at times can dazzle. Other times he will go cold or throw into coverage, and doesn't look like the same guy. Competitive and seemingly confident. Gets into trouble against complicated schemes, reading defenses and going through his progressions to find second and third options. Lacks a feel for hitting backs and hot receivers on underneath and short routes. Will lock on to receivers. Doesn't change velocity well, so his ball can be tough to catch. Style resembles that of a speedy, athletic CFL quarterback, but in a disciplined, structured offense, he makes too many mistakes. Probably a career backup.
