Profile
Played nine games in 1984 having been signed at mid-season and caught five passes as a back-up wide receiver. Had originally been in camp as an undrafted free agent of the Chiefs but was waived in the pre-season. Also finished third on the team in special teams' tackles despite only playing half a season. Was cut in camp in 1985 and was out of the NFL for two seasons before being re-signed for the final strike season game in 1987 and caught one pass from Jim Zorn in the win over Minnesota. Has gone on to become receivers' coach at the University of Florida under Steve Spurrier and now Ron Zook. Also played four seasons in the Arena League (1988-1991) for the Detroit Drive. Originally wore the 84 shirt as a rookie and then switched to 87 as a replacement player.
