Colts have high hopes for King

Yes, the Colts have Dallas Clark and Bob Sanders and, now, Pat Angerer.

They also have Mitch King. Of course, Iowa fans remember the indefatigable defensive tackle. He took lumps growing up as an undersized defensive lineman before becoming the Big Ten defensive lineman of the year in 2008.

King, now 24, signed as an undrafted free agent with the Tennessee Titans and was cut at the end of training camp last August. Now, he's with the Indianapolis Colts.

Here's a story from the Indianapolis Star's Phillip B. Wilson on King's chances to stick with the Colts.

This link was passed to me by The Wiz of Odds, a college football site for winners.

Here's an excerpt:

So his next decision was to sign in January with the Indianapolis Colts, who have a history of getting the most out of undrafted players. The Colts' defensive line includes Eric Foster and Dan Muir, both of whom were undrafted, as were middle linebacker Gary Brackett, safety Melvin Bullitt and cornerback Jacob Lacey.

Could King be the next ideal fit?

"I have goals, but I don't have expectations," the 24-year-old Iowa native said during last month's organized team activities. "I'm going to give 'em my best. I'm going to make it hard for them to cut me. That's my goal. Right now, I'm just trying to earn a spot."
