player. 36. Whether the Seahawks trade Richard Sherman or not is immaterial: Seattle needs to get younger at cornerback and needs a replacement for DeShawn Shead. The Seahawks have not been afraid of staying close to home for players either; several Washington Huskies have ended up as Seahawks in recent years. <p>Kevin King can be the next Husky to play with the Seahawks. King has the size that John Schneider and Pete Carroll covet in a corner. King is six-foot-three. He also has had excellent coaching in college. Washington coach Chris Petersen has sent several players to the NFL who play corner and several have been very successful, including Kansas City Chiefs corner Marcus Peters. King already knows the nuances of press coverage.</p> <p>King will need to work on his technique with tackling with the Seahawks. He will also need to better acclimate himself to covering smaller, shifty receivers. Still, Carroll is the master at teaching the side-kick approach to coverage. King should learn this fairly quickly and has shown an ability to adapt – he moved from safety to corner in college.</p> <p>King should not be expected to start game one in Seattle. He should be expected to start by mid-season, however, and be a long-term answer at one of the cornerback positions with the Seahawks.</p>. CB. Washington. Kevin King. 26
