Former Bulldog Tavarres King shines in NFL playoffs

King, 26, has had quite the journey to get this point.

After leading the Dawgs in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns in each of his final two seasons in Athens, King was drafted 161st overall by the Denver Broncos in the 2013 NFL Draft.

But since then, King has mostly been a practice squad player in his journey around the NFL.

After being cut by Denver, he signed with Carolina in 2013. Then in 2014 he went to Jacksonville, never playing in an official game at either stop.

King was then signed by Tampa Bay later in 2014 and it wasn’t until week 16 of the 2014 season that King finally got into an NFL game.
