He played college football for the Tennessee Volunteers and played in the National Football League (NFL) for 14 years. Most of his professional career was with the Minnesota Vikings.

In 1990, he earned his Juris Doctor degree and was admitted to the Tennessee bar. In 2000, he opened his own law office in Knoxville, Tennessee, where he practiced in the field of criminal defense, juvenile justice, personal injury and sports law.
