Shock continue to
add NFL talent
SPOKANE - The Spokane Shock announced they have signed defensive lineman Pierre Walters and offensive linemen Thomas Claiborne and Ryan Cave for the 2012 Arena Football League season.
Walters (6-5, 269 pounds) spent the last three seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, primarily as a member of the practice squad. Over his 13-game career with the Chiefs, including three regular-season games, Thomas collected 20 tackles.
Prior to signing with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent in 2009, Thomas spent his collegiate career at Eastern Illinois where he racked up 154 tackles with 15.5 sacks, seven forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries.
Claiborne (6-3, 330), from Boston College, signed as an undrafted free agent with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers earlier this year, and was released during the final cuts. Claiborne appeared in all four of the Buccaneers' preseason games before his release.
Cave (6-5, 335) began his professional career with the Hartford Colonials in 2010. A late-season acquisition, Cave started all of his four games with the team and helped Hartford's offense accumulate 2,593 yards of total offense (second in the league). He played collegiately at Hampton.
Spokane's roster now includes 30 players. The Shock open the 2012 season March 12 at home vs. the Iowa Barnstormers.
