School Bio

1.27.09 – King's great motor and quickness off the snap popped at times in practice, but the problems of being a relatively light defensive tackle showed a lot more during one on ones in the pit than they did in the game. King spent a lot of the game in the South backfield and defeated Eric Wood with surprising power that we did not see during the practices. - Draft Guys On Location at the Senior Bowl

1.23.09 - Mitch King blew by several offensive linemen using his quickness on inside moves, as well as speed off the edge. He also uses hands well. The one-on-one scenarios play to his strengths. When he tried to use a power move, he was cut off at the path – he had no chance to get into the backfield. He is explosive, but simply lacks the size NFL teams are looking for, which doesn’t mean he can’t create a niche for himself as a role player at the next level. - The NFL Draft Bible On Location At The Senior Bowl

1.20.09 – Mitch King didn't impress with raw strength or explosion, but his energy and hustle made plays in 11 on 11, and he shot gaps faster than the North line could fill them. - Draft Guys On Location at the Senior Bowl
