In 1995 the Wildcats won the NAIA National Football Championship with Kitna as their quarterback. [ edit ] Professional career [ edit ] Barcelona Dragons Kitna was named the World's Most Valuable Player in NFL Europe when he led the Barcelona Dragons to the 1997 World Bowl Championship ( World Bowl V ), winning 38–24 over the Rhein Fire .[ 1] [ edit ] Seattle Seahawks Kitna was originally signed as an undrafted free agent by the Seattle Seahawks . He served as a backup to Warren Moon in 1997 and most of 1998, but started the final five games of the 1998 season. Then, in 1999, he started 15 games for the Seahawks, leading them to a 9–7 record (Kitna going 8–7 in games started) and winning the AFC West , though Seattle would lose the wild card game to the Miami Dolphins .In 2000, Kitna opened the season with a four-interception performance against the Dolphins which opened the door for coach Mike Holmgren to start Brock Huard . During that season, Kitna and Huard rotated as starting QBs due to injury and benchings. His last win for the Seahawks came on a rain-soaked Husky Stadium turf in December of that year, beating the AFC Championship Game -bound Oakland Raiders on a TD pass to rookie Darrell Jackson in the final minute of play. [2 ] [ edit ] Cincinnati Bengals In 2001, he signed as an unrestricted free agent with the Cincinnati Bengals .[ 3] In 2003, Kitna played every offensive down, and was named the NFL Comeback Player of the Year after throwing for over 3,500 yards and 26 touchdown passes in leading the Bengals to a respectable 8–8 record, the team's first non-losing season since 1996.Jon Kitna's secondary role with the team was to prepare young quarterback Carson Palmer (the Bengals' #1 draft pick in 2003). It was a role Kitna accepted gracefully. By 2004, Palmer was ready, leading the Bengals to another 8–8 season. Kitna was the backup for Palmer in that season. The two QB's developed a close friendship off the field, particularly because both men are avid golfers .Kitna was unexpectedly thrust back behind center during the Bengals' AFC Wild Card Playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on January 8, 2006. Carson Palmer went down with a knee injury on his second play from scrimmage and Kitna stepped in off the bench and into a relief role.

[5 ] He started every Lions game in 2006 and 2007, throwing for 4,000 yards each season—a franchise record. [6 ] In 2008, Kitna was injured and placed on Injured Reserve in week 5. The team ended the regular season with an 0-16 record. [7 ] [ edit ] Dallas Cowboys Kitna was traded to the Dallas Cowboys on February 28, 2009 for Anthony Henry . His role was Tony Romo 's primary back-up with Stephen McGee being the third-string QB. Kitna did not play a single down for the Cowboys in the 2009 regular season. He remained idle until October 25, 2010 when Tony Romo was removed after suffering a broken clavicle ,[ 8] which ended Romo's season.
