Justin was born in New Orleans, Louisiana and attended Crenshaw High School in Los Angeles, California.[1] [2] He played college football at Oregon State.[1] [2]
Justin was signed by the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent in 1978.[2] He spent six seasons with the Seahawks, 1978-1983, before jumping to the United States Football League with the New Jersey Generals.[3] He was with the Generals for two campaigns, 1984-1985, recording 8 interceptions in the second year.[4] When the USFL folded following the 1985 season, Justin returned to the Seahawks for two more years, 1986-1987.[1]
In eight seasons with the Seahawks, he had seven interceptions returned for 31 yards and three blocked punts which remains a team record.
