Spent two seasons as the Bucs' main tailback and found the endzone with good regularity in the process. But with the drafting of Reggie Cobb and the signing
of Gary Anderson in 1990, found himself surplus to requirements and was cut along with backfield colleague William Howard in 1990. Went briefly to the Bears
but carried the ball only once for Chicago before being out of the NFL for good. Sadly passed away in August 2022 from throat cancer.
