A 2nd round pick of the Vikings in 1970 who played just one game with Minnesota and then seven other games with the Lions in 1973. Also spent some time with the Chicago Fire of the WFL. His career NFL passing numbers were 9 of 18 for 82 yards and an interception. Played briefly during the first pre-season game in Los Angeles but was cut on July 30 leading him to comment "what's unfair is not giving me a chance" to the local media.
