[@thedirtypanda]

The thing that amazes me more and more when I watch these videos is how quickly these players identify and read these situations. The plays take seconds to unfold, yet the film break down is a good 4 to 5 mins for us. The speed that they play at is amazing. This just makes me love the game more. Also, King is great and someone who clearly puts in the time. He has a new fan.

[@travisoshea]

thedirtypanda they watch this over and over and over again and all the terms, techniques, schemes, and footwork he’s using, he’s been doing this since high school. At this level it’s now about studying hard and reading keys that you’ve picked up during that study. I love how they are showing this to the fans. Search for Bill O’Brien coaching clinics. It’s a few short videos but it’s awesome to see what he did with NE and most teams do.

[@jordanpierre6775]

Literally the cupp play with Gurley Toss blew my mind. It's so cool to see players watch film but notice EVERYTHING.

[@MarshallJames10]

As someone who loves watching football but never played, these are very interesting to watch and learn from

Easily one of the smartest players I have seen do a film study! His explanations of the plays and responsibilities are spot on. The chargers are lucky to have such a talent on the team.

Dont distract to the fact that King predicted his first NFL int was going to be a Pick 6. That was against the cowboys thanksgiving day.

Damn DJ in that second play. I know this is about Desmond but that was a great play by Derwin. 2:07

It was definitely a good play by Derwin, but he should also make it, being unblocked.

Great intelligence and insight on the game. Desmond is emerging into a star. Excited to watch him play this season. #BoltUp

I seriously love these NFL. Please keep doing them and get as many positions and players as possible. It's fascinating to see how the minds of the players themselves work.

[@shanebliss20]

The way you can check the KC left tackle and see him scanning the field after motion went the other way on the Tyreek end around at the very end of the video was certainly a giveaway that the play was coming back that way. Good stuff defensively

[@ellistoyn4503]

When people talk about cbs they think of jalen Ramsey, Stephon Gilmore, Patrick Peterson, but Desmond king is underrated and everyone should know about him

So far this breakdown taught me more about the inner workings of reads and line ups than any other interview. King is now on my radar as a Seahawks fan.

Hard to believe there is so much a player looks for in personnel and formation True students of the game

[@kzgc8y3n]

Kenny Moore II is still the most underrated Slot Corner in the league, as he plays the 2nd corner in most the Colts 4-3 alignment. Kenny Moore II had the same number of INT's (3) more Sacks (1.5) and pressures, as Desmond King had no sacks. Kenny had 1 additional Pass Defense (14) and played on a much weaker defense. His recent payday making him the highest-paid slot corner in the league at least makes me happy. Much love to King though, he is #2.
