Started two of the three replacement games at center having spent the final game on the sideline as regular Dan Turk crossed the picket line before the Minnesota encounter. Switched to the 55 jersey for that game. Started for two seasons at center for the Tampa Bay Bandits having been traded by the Los Angeles Express. Originally tried to break into the NFL in 1980 with the Eagles and also spent some time in camp with the Los Angeles Rams but had not appeared in an NFL regular season encounter before the strike games and never played in it again afterwards.
