Early life

[edit]

Kenneth Times was born on January 1, 1956, in Deerfield Beach, Florida.[1] He participated in high school football, basketball, and track at Deerfield Beach High School.[1][2]

College career

[edit]

Times played college football for the Jaguars of Southern University, with his final year being in 1979.[1] On November 8, 1979, it was reported that Times was leading the Jaguars in tackles with 106.[3] He was a team captain.[2] At the conclusion of his college career, Times played in the Sheridan All-Star game.[2]

Professional career

[edit]

Times had a 4.6 second 40-yard dash.[3] He was selected by the 49ers in the fifth round, with the 112th overall pick, of the 1980 NFL draft.[1] He played in the first three games of the 1983 season in a reserve role behind Dwaine Board before being released on September 24, 1980.[4][1][5]

Times signed with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League on October 25, 1980.[1] He played in the final game of the 1980 CFL season for Winnipeg but did not record any statistics.[6][1] He became a free agent after the season and re-signed with the Blue Bombers in March 1981.[6] Times was released on June 15, 1981, during the preseason.[1]

Times then signed with the Denver Broncos.[1] He was released on August 25, 1981, re-signed on August 27, and released again on August 31.[1]

On November 25, 1981, Times was signed by the St. Louis Cardinals.[1] He played in two games for the Cardinals in a backup role before being placed on injured reserve on December 10 with an ankle injury.[1][7][8] He was released on August 31, 1982, after the third preseason game.[1]

On January 21, 1983, Times signed with the Washington Federals of the United States Football League (USFL) for the 1983 USFL season.[1] He was traded to the Tampa Bay Bandits on January 27.[1] He appeared in 12 games, starting one, for the Bandits in 1983 while posting 26 solo tackles, 24 assisted tackles, and 11 sacks.[1][2] Times was named second-team All-USFL for his performance during the 1983 season.[9][5][10] He was the Bandits' designated rusher on passing downs, later stating "I made All-Pro off of one down — third down."[5]

On February 20, 1984, Times was traded to the Memphis Showboats for center Lee North after Bandits defensive tackle Ron Simmons performed well during the preseason.[11] Times played in four games, starting two, for Memphis before being waived on April 4, 1984.[1]

Times was claimed off waivers by the Chicago Blitz on April 5, 1984.[1] He appeared in six games for the Blitz and made six sacks.[1] He was fined $1,200 for a rough hit on Steve Young.[5] The Blitz folded after the 1984 season.[5]

In December 1984, Times was selected by the Orlando Renegades in the 1984 USFL allocation draft.[1] Times said he intentionally did not know the names of his offensive line teammates because he wanted to go "full-out" against them in practice.[5] In January 1985, he broke his thumb, was knocked unconscious, and also hyperextended his foot.[5] He recorded one sack and two fumbles recoveries for the Renegades during the 1985 season.[1] At one point during his USFL career, Times was fined $400 for punching another player in the ribs.[5]

On May 16, 1985, Times was traded to the Tampa Bay Bandits for two draft picks after a season-ending injury to Fred Nordgren.[12][10] Times did not record any stats for the Bandits in 1985.[1] The USFL folded after the 1985 season.
