As Dante King reaches the midpoint of his sophomore season and looks back at the first half, he sees a lot to be proud of: the Baltimore Hawks have won four games, already surpassing many spectators' expectations for the full slate of games, and Dante has gotten off to a nice start in tandem with fellow running back Busch Goose and rookie QB Gimmy Jaroppolo Jr. With 841 yards from scrimmage and 6 rushing touchdowns, Dante is on pace to produce a similar statline to his rookie season on the ground and far surpass it through the air. However, as he looks to continue improving his game, he wants to work on building his nose for the end zone, particularly in the passing game. Despite putting up decent receiving numbers, he has yet to score a receiving touchdown through a season and a half. This can be attributed in part to the plethora of wonderful receiving options the team boasts and some caution with putting too much on a young passer's plate, but as Dante refines his skills, he needs to make sure that he makes the most of his touches to help his team team their ultimate goal, and at the end of the day points are what matter in this game.
