COSTA MESA, Calif. -- One of the most productive defensive players for the Los Angeles Chargers will have to again fight for time on the playing field come the 2018 season.
A fifth-round selection by the Chargers in the 2017 draft, Iowa defensive back Desmond King worked his way onto the field as the slot defender during his rookie season and proved very effective.
King played 676 defensive snaps last year, finishing with four sacks, 76 tackles and an interception returned 90 yards for a touchdown.
King’s four sacks tied him with Rodney Harrison (1997 and 1998) for the second-most sacks by a defensive back in a single season in team history.
