The New York Giants drafted him in the sixth round, 153rd overall, in 1992, and he spent his whole NFL career with them (1992–1995), finishing with 91 tackles and 5.5 sacks. He was later athletic director and head football coach at Princeton High School in Princeton, Texas. Note: his Wikipedia article is a short stub, so this bio is short.

PFR shows him with NYG 1992-95 (59 games, 19 starts, 15 Approximate Value). PFR stat line: 4 yrs: 5.5 sacks, 1 FF, 0 Int, 0 FR, 91 comb tackles (78 solo, 13 ast); postseason 2 G, 1 GS.
