King is part of a very well-rounded, effective defense that already features one deserving Pro Bowl DB in rookie safety Derwin James. But King's absence is an oversight. Cleveland's Denzel Ward has enjoyed an excellent rookie season and justified the Browns using the No. 4 pick on him in the 2018 draft, but King is arguably the most effective member of a defense that ranks eighth in the league in passing yards allowed per game. He's tied with Ward in interceptions (three each). The biggest difference between the two corners comes in overall Pro Football Focus grades: The site ranks King second among all cornerbacks in the NFL -- behind only Stephon Gilmore -- while Ward comes in at No. 12. Again, Ward is deserving of the honor, and has one more pass breakup than King, as well as a blocked field goal to his name, but King's team is headed to the postseason with a lot of credit due to him. Frankly, both should be in over Jacksonville's Jalen Ramsey, but this is also sometimes a popularity contest, and we know where Ramsey ranks in that category.
