Frez Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Bills | King Looking for His Shot Thu, 21 Jul 2005 11:36:48 -0700 Tom Worgo, of the Owings Mills Times, reports Buffalo Bills rookie CB Eric King is looking forward to getting back on the field for the team's training camp. "My goal is not just getting to the NFL," King said. "My objective is to be a player and future star in the league. I am going to bust my butt so I can put myself in that position." He made some eye-catching plays that impressed the Bills coaches and management during three spring Bills minicamps. "It's difficult to get rookies to settle down," Buffalo assistant general manager Tom Modrak said. "They are in awe of things. He came in with a great deal of confidence because he can make plays. He was intense about everything. He was very good at minicamp." Buffalo defensive backs coach Steve Szabo said King looked comfortable and confident even against starting offensive players. King will be competing for playing time as the team's nickel cornerback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarthur31 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 We need him should we lost McGee or Clements. He has to show that he can play in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zona Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I not only think he will make this team, I think he will see some playing time later in the year. He will turn some heads at camp, and slowly work his way into the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 The Bills' scouting staff seems to have a knack for finding DBs with the right stuff. I just wish they could find a few more guys with the right stuff - and a little more height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBXBILLSFAN Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 King may very well move past Thomas and Greer on the depth chart and wind up as the nickel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
