Tyler was requested by many people but with his busy schedule we were not able to schedule him. Today, we got him and he is definitely one of a kind. Tyler King comes from a football family with father Steve a Patriots legend. He played in high school but wanted to improve and have a chance to play sooner, so Tyler did a PG year at Avon Old Farms.

Committed to University of New Hampshire, Tyler changed course because coach Randy Edsall never gave up on recruiting him and which is why he decommitted to attend UConn.

Redshirting was a difficult experience and Tyler shares some funny stories, one which includes me when I had a broken wrist.

A 4-year starter on defense, Tyler played on a talented defensive line. He was named 1st team All Independent, with impressive stats of double-digit Tackles for Losses and Sacks.

In 2004, despite a gruesome ankle injury, Tyler returned to play in UConn's first ever bowl against Toledo. What a comeback story, he was named Defensive Player of the Game with TFLS, forced fumble and a sack.

Tyler had a whirlwind pro career. He spent 2 years on the Arizona Cardinals practice squad, several weeks with the San Diego Chargers practice squad before his final stint attending training camp with Jacksonville. He also played 2 years in NFL Europe along, with a season in the Arena League.

Tyler was always a high motor guy who played hard thanks to Coach Hank Hughes. He transitioned into MMA where he had a successful career fighting for many New England promotions and won a few Heavyweight Championships, also was on UFC's Reality Show the Ultimate Fighter

Currently, he has one fight scheduled for July 20th, but also started his own business with a friend. They run an agency and train fighters interested in MMA. Tyler has some outstanding prospects who he believes will make it big if they continue to develop.

A great friend who I hope to see this summer on the lake, it was exciting catching up with Tyler King. He is one of a kind and pure gold for entertainment. Definitely an episode you don't want to miss!
