King was drafted in the second round of the 1995 NFL draft by the Carolina Panthers. Throughout his career, he faced multiple suspensions due to violating the NFL's drug policy. His first violation came during his rookie training camp in 1995 when he tested positive for marijuana. He played in 13 games in his rookie season and all 16 games the following season. However, subsequent positive tests led to suspensions for the 1997 season (6 games) and the entire 1998 season. In 1999, he signed a three-year, $6 million contract with the Indianapolis Colts but was suspended again for four games for showing up late to a meeting.More
