STRENGTHS
Kingsley is a big, strong, powerful offensive lineman who plays angry. He has enough athletic ability to play more than one position on the offensive line. He has those long arms that make it difficult for the edge rushes to get around him and the size and power to handle a bull rush. Kingsley showed at the Senior Bowl practices that he can be a good run blocker and this will allow the team that drafts him to line him up at the guard or tackle position.
CONCERNS
Right now, Kingsway is a penalty-making machine for the next level. I don’t see him as a tackle at the next level because his techniques are crude at best and when he gets broken down he struggles to recover. Moving him to a guard position makes sense, but once again he has to improve his run and pass-blocking techniques and stay away from committing penalties.
BOTTOM LINE: 3.94
Kingsley thinks he can outmuscle and intimate his opponent and at this point of his career lacks the mental patience and techniques to play his position with the proficiency needed to be the player his talents suggest that he can become. He has all of the needed athletic talent, size, and strength and none of the mental patience to be consistent in his play from down to down. Kinsley’s fear of getting beat makes him panic, lose control of his emotions, and commit penalties. Move him inside and hopefully, a coach with patience and understanding can get Kingsley to relax and not worry about getting beat. He seems to be a smart person. He just has to learn not to use his “angry panic play” after the snap of the ball and use it “AT” the snap of the ball. Don’t let the fight come to him, bring the fight to them. There is a ton of potential in Kingsley…big time potential but I’m pretty sure it will be at Guard and not at Tackle. To be honest with you, I’m not sure if he might be playing on the wrong side of the ball.
