He then got enrolled into the University of Massachusetts and became a key part of their football team. In the 2010 NFL Draft, he was signed by the New York Giants and his career began with the pre-season games where he performed exceptionally well. Although an injury at the beginning of the regular season had him sitting on the bench for the remaining of the season. Suffering from injuries in the next few seasons, he performed above average. But it was not enough to keep him on the team and the Giants finally let him go in February 2017. In May 2017, he was signed on by the Chicago Bears, but they also released him from a contract 5 months later.
