NFL career

However, after testing positive for a banned substance, King was suspended for the first six games of the 1997 season, only appearing in 9 games. After yet another positive test, King found himself suspended for the entire 1998 season. Prior to the 1999 season, King signed a three-year, $6 million contract with the Indianapolis Colts and started 8 of the team's first 9 games, but was suspended again (along with teammate Tito Wooten), this time for four games due to showing up late to a meeting. The Colts later cut King and he was suspended yet again by the league for 12 months and missed the entire 2000 season. Though he was reinstated in January 2001, King chose to retire from the NFL. After four season of retirement, King signed on to play with the AFL's Tampa Bay Storm for the 2004 AFL season, after which he left pro football for good.
