VIDEO: Desmond King blows up teammate with monster hit in practice

Whoever said Desmond King is just a cover corner was horribly mistaken.
Yes, the All-American cornerback was second in FBS in interceptions last year, but he also finished second in the country in tackling efficiency a year ago.
This play is a good reminder of how devastating a tackler King is:

Woah. Fortunately, there didn’t appear to be any injuries on the hit. It looks like King is already in mid-season form.
The Big Ten Network crew was on hand to take in Iowa’s practice as part of their conference-wide bus tour.
Needless to say, they came away pretty impressed with the Jim Thorpe Award winner.
