High School Career

He played football for Mt. Shasta High School in Mt. Shasta, California and then Shasta College in Redding, CA.

College career

He was selected in the 2nd round of the 1994 NFL Draft by the New York Giants after playing for two years at the University of Southern California.

Professional career

He spent most of his career playing the cornerback position with the Giants. Upon his release, he signed with the St. Louis Rams as a safety. His contract with the St. Louis Rams was voided after he failed his physical and he did not play during the 2004 season. Sehorn received some notoriety for being the only white starting cornerback in the NFL during much of his career. It is rumored that his nickname by other Giants' players was Hollywood, based on his upbringing in Southern California, until they learned that he grew up in a trailer park. He was then nicknamed Species for his athleticism. After a highly successful season as a cornerback in 1997, he suffered a debilitating knee injury, tearing both his anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments, in the 1998 preseason game against the New York Jets while returning a kickoff. Though he returned the next season, his speed was greatly diminished.

Personal

Sehorn is perhaps most famous for marrying actress Angie Harmon, and in particular, his proposal. During one of Harmon's appearances on The Tonight Show, Sehorn (almost certainly with the assistance of host Jay Leno) hid backstage and surprised Harmon one knee and asking for her hand in marriage, in front of a live studio audience and millions more watching on television that night.

In 2005, Sehorn joined Fox Sports Net, and is currently a panelist on their Sunday NFL pregame show.
