He played in the American Professional Football League (AFPL)—now known as National Football League (NFL)—with the Canton Bulldogs, Cleveland Tigers, Washington Senators and the New York Brickley Giants. Brickley's New York Giants are not related to the modern-day New York Giants.[1] He also played for the independent Youngstown Patricians from 1917 until 1919.[2]
