He earned honorable mention All-Big 12 honors from league coaches for his play (31 tackles, 5.5 for loss, with 3.5 sacks, four pass breakups in nine games, eight starts). The 2015 Kansas City All-Metro pick redshirted his first season in Jonesboro and then played in five games as a reserve the following year (seven tackles, two for loss, one sack). Despite being a part-time starter in 2018 (three in 12 appearances), Bradley-King garnered second-team All-Sun Belt Conference honors with 33 tackles, 9.5 for loss, with six sacks and two forced fumbles. He started all 13 games in 2019, receiving first-team all-conference honors with a team-high 13.5 tackles for loss with 8.5 sacks among his 49 tackles. He also led the Red Wolves with three forced fumbles during the season. He accepted an invitation to the Senior Bowl. -- by Chad Reuter” Graduate transfer who made the jump from the Sun Belt to the Big 12 with solid success. Bradley-King is a high IQ defender who made it a priority from early in his career to sharpen his rush technique and create opportunities for himself. He's not a quick edge-burning type, but he does a nice job of using footwork and head fakes to catch offensive tackles leaning and create points of entry into the pocket. He plays a mature brand of football, with a turned-up motor and good toughness at the point of attack. However, he's a little undersized as a base end and might need to stack more mass on his frame to play there. He faces some athletic limitations that might cap his potential, but he's a smart football player with the ability to become a quality rotational defender. Strengths * Plays with high football IQ and rush savvy. * Flashes maniacal rush motor up to the top of the rush. * Long, powerful second and third steps. * Has developed a myriad of attack moves. * Heavy hand swipes, fluid stab-and-slap and effective rip-and-run * Widens tackles out from inside rush positioning before making inside move. * Always targets throwing arm, creating strip sacks. * Active hands in the passing lane. * Plays with knee bend to stay under the pads of blockers. * Strong in his upper half. * Slides into positioning before striking against move blocks. * Impressive start-stop in his change of direction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle28 Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 Seems like a good career back up candidate like James Smith Williams was last year but Smith Williams has more upside. I like that he’s a high IQ player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtle28 Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 I like this pick. Seems like a high effort, high IQ guy like James Smith Williams, doesn’t quite have JSW’s high ceiling, but Bradley King could develop into a good back up.

Tyronnosaurus Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I like WBK, thought he played really well for us last year. Not exactly sure how he fits in your system - do you think you guys will have his hand in the dirt or as a standup rusher? Playing across from Chase Young has to be a huge bonus.

We have 3 DEs infront of him at the least right now. At best he’s a practice squad player IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah I’m not sure he makes the team, just curious where he plays in the NFL if he ever makes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
