Robert Eugene Abraham (born July 13, 1960) is a former American football linebacker who played college football for North Carolina State.[1] [2] [3] He was selected by the Houston Oilers in the 1982 NFL draft and played there until 1988, mostly as a starter. His best season came in 1984 when he started 16 games and had 106 solo tackles and 92 assists. He missed most of his final season with the team due to injuries.[4] [5] He was waived by the Oilers in March 1988 but signed with the New York Giants shortly later.[6] However, he was waived by the Giants in August the same year prior to the start of the season.[7]
