King is a force of nature to be reckoned with, IN COLLEGE. He needs to realize that NOW is his time to shine and leave his mark on college football. If he were to put together a record-breaking Heisman-winning season, which he is definitely capable of, then that would open up doors for him for the rest of his career not just through endorsements and speaking opportunities and perhaps sports broadcasting, but in business and industry as well. And it would maximize his potential of getting drafted as a QB and having a somewhat decent pro career, kind of like Tim Tebow. He'd basically be set for life.
On the other hand, if he goes to the pros now, he MIGHT get drafted, and he might make a little money in the short term but he's not really projected to have a meaningful pro career, even if he were to switch positions. So in a few years he'd be teaching PE or coaching high school ball somewhere or trying to get a GA position.
So his best option is to realize that college is his time to make hay and to maximize the opportunities that have been given to him now and try to become a college football legend. Of course it would depend on what Diaz does with the defense and who stays from the defense since King ain't winning a Heisman unless we get into the playoffs, and our defense is our biggest weakness now. If Diaz were to retain Rumph, Baker, etc., and if there were another mass exodus that would include Bolden and Phillips, then King might as well take off because chances are we'd be having another mediocre season. What Diaz does during the next 3 weeks are crucial to this football program and to King's future.
