College football career

After graduating from high school early, in the fall of 2000, Foxworth enrolled at the University of Maryland and signed with the Terrapins in early 2001.[1][2] While playing for the Terrapins, Foxworth started every game between 2001 and September 2004,[3] and received All-Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) honors twice.[1]

Foxworth began his career in the NFL after being drafted by the Denver Broncos in the third round, with the 97th overall pick of the 2005 NFL Draft.[4] The Broncos traded Foxworth to the Atlanta Falcons in September 2008 for a conditional seventh-round pick in the 2009 NFL Draft.[5] In 2009, the Baltimore Ravens signed Foxworth to a four-year, $28 million contract.[6]

On the first day of training camp for the 2010 season, Foxworth tore his ACL,[7] causing him to miss the entire season.[6] Foxworth's knee problems continued into 2011, with the Ravens putting him on the injured reserve list after playing only two games, ending his season early.[6][8] In May 2012, Foxworth announced that he planned to retire from football and attend Harvard Business School.[6][7]

NFL Players Association

In addition to his work on the field, Foxworth has also held a number of positions with the NFL Players Association.[9] In 2007, the Broncos elected Foxworth as an NFLPA player representative, and the following year he became the youngest player to become vice president of the NFLPA Executive Committee.[9]

In 2012, Foxworth was elected president of the NFLPA without opposition.[9] He was succeeded by Eric Winston in March 2014.[10]
