I have a confession to make: When legendary writer Peter King speaks, I tend to listen.
Simply put, I am a huge fan of the man. I grew up reading his work in multiple sports publications, long before even contemplating trying to follow in his hallowed footsteps in some miniscule way. I always admired his willingness to share his own personal observations, even if those insights didn't always fit with public opinion or professional consensus.
King doesn't plagiarize other professional evaluations, he shares his own. Even when his opinions go against the grain, and general consensus.
King was back to his antagonist ways in a recent pre-draft article, where he stated in no uncertain terms that the Steelers were indeed interested in trading up into the Top 10 of the 2023 NFL Draft to select former Georgia Bulldogs DE Jalen Carter.
