Heading into camp, he's probably the favorite to backup Jason Mass.

Did he get injured or something? He started as a second year guy, led the Bucs to the NFC chip, and was never heard from again.

Before this he stunk it up in the Arena football league in Vegas this past year, got cut.

I've always wondered why he didn't start again after that year. If the bucaneers didn't get screwed by the refs he would've been in the Superbowl.

He actually was a rookie when the Bucs went to the NFC Championship game, and was only the starter because Trent Dilfer got hurt. The following year he started, they won like 10 games, and then lost in the Wild Card round. In 2001 they signed Brad Johnson and Shaun King was sent to backup duties. Remember, at the time Brad Johnson was a big free-agent catch. Then, Jon Gruden came in but he wasn't a fan of King. He was released after 2003.

Then, he played one season with the Cardinals, backing up Josh McCown. Then he was brought in witht he Colts in like 2006, but didn't make it through the pre-season.

Then, like Hungry said, he played some in the AFL, I think for like two months.

I was always a fan of King, but he was undersized, didn't have a good arm, and some decent mobility.

Shaun King while a nice guy from everything i've seen just doesn't have the tools to be a CFL QB.
