Howie Long's NFL Career

Long had an NFL career that would be the envy of several defensive ends. The one-team man was drafted in the second round of the 1981 NFL Draft by the Oakland Raiders, and he played his entire career in Oakland. He was an eight-time Pro Bowler and shared the NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award in 1985 with Andre Tippett.

Long was much more than a defender for the Oakland Raiders, as the versatile stopper was key to their winning a Super Bowl in 1983, two seasons after he was drafted. The 'Ripper' was named by the Pro Football Weekly (PFW) as one of the ends on its All-time 3–4 defensive front.

He retired from the game in 1993 following his final Pro Bowl selection. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2000.

Howie Long's post-football career

Howie Long transitioned from player to analyst pretty seamlessly following the conclusion of his playing career. He has a reccurring role as a presenter on Fox Network's NFL coverage alongside fellow NFL legend Terry Bradshaw.

Aside from his NFL analyst gig, Long is an author, actor, and award show host and has been featured in numerous TV ads since he hung his cleats. Long is the epitome of what a player can achieve after the Gridiron, and the Hall of Famer hasn't slowed down yet!
