King signs with the Rams

Wednesday, former Penn State cornerback Justin King signed a three-year deal with the St. Louis Rams. The amount of the deal wasn't released when I heard this, but I imagine it's a nice package. The Rams need all the defense they can get, and with a guy like King, things will only get better.

From the Rams' Web site:

"At 5’10, 192 pounds with speed in the 4.3-4.4 range in the 40-yard dash, King will be expected to compete right away in the secondary, particularly in nickel packages. He also will be asked to work on special teams, perhaps even getting an opportunity as a returner such as he did at times during the team’s May minicamp."

5'10"? Seems Penn State did some fibbing in the height department. I was always under the impression he was just under 6-foot. Oh well, good for King. Let's hope for his sake that the decision to leave early was a good one. Good luck, Justin!
