‘DB-U,’ anyone? Kevin King, Budda Baker, Sidney Jones the latest UW defensive backs headed to the NFL

It’s been quite a year for former Washington defensive backs.

In January, Marcus Peters was named an NFL All-Pro cornerback during his second season with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Earlier this month, Atlanta’s Desmond Trufant signed a five-year contract extension worth $69 million, making him one of the NFL’s highest-paid cornerbacks.

And on Friday, three former Husky defensive backs — Kevin King, Budda Baker and Sidney Jones — were selected within the first 11 picks of the second round of the NFL draft, strengthening Washington’s boasting of its “DB-U” status.
