He signed with the Washington Federals of the United States Football League in January 1983,[3] but was released in April after playing in three games.[4] He was later signed by the National Football League's Philadelphia Eagles for one month in 1983,[5][6] and also signed with the USFL's Philadelphia Stars.[1] He signed with the Buffalo Bills in December 1986,[7] but was waived in July 1987.[8][9]
