SPOKANE -- The Spokane Shock announced on Monday that quarterback Casey Hansen and defensive lineman Vaka Manupuna were added to the 2010 roster.
Hansen spent the 2009 season with the ArenaCup Champion Shock – his first season in the arena game.
During the regular season, Hansen played in 11 games and completed more than 72% of his passes (42/58) including 13 touchdown passes without a single interception. Hansen finished the season with a 141.02 QB rating, the highest on the team.
Manupuna, 6-1 295, spent the 2008 season with Utah where he collected 16 tackles – including two sacks – for the Blaze.
In addition to his AFL experience, Manupuna has NFL experience as a member of the Washington Redskins (2006, 2007) and the New York Jets’ (2006) practice squads. Most recently, he signed a free-agent contract with the Redskins earlier this year and was released in training camp shortly before the start of the 2009 regular season.
Manupuna spent his collegiate career at Colorado where he collected 106 tackles in 50 games.
