Verran Tucker Signs With AFL's Spokane Shock

Former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Verran Tucker has signed on with the AFL's Spokane Shock. Tucker brings 19 games of NFL experience to the Shock which is a franchise best for the club.

During the 2010 season, Tucker caught six passes for 114 yards in 11 games with the Chiefs and was also a contributor on special teams recording 14 tackles.
