[edit] Career

He played high school football at Agua Fria High School in Avondale, Arizona, then played college football at Arizona State University, where he participated in the school's first ever Rose Bowl appearance in 1987.

He began his pro career being drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the 1988 NFL Draft, and played with them until 1999, when he went to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He played there for two years until retiring. He is widely recognized as one of the greatest and most versatile offensive linemen ever to play the game. He started in 12 consecutive Pro Bowls (1989–2000). He also started 202 consecutive games in his career.[1]

During his time with the Minnesota Vikings, he occasionally would play fullback in short-yardage and goal-line situations.[1]
