Professional Career
The Dallas Cowboys selected Myles in the third round (sixty-second pick overall) in the 1991 NFL Draft, and he played for coach Jimmy Johnson and coach Barry Switzer's Cowboys from 1991 to 1996. He was mainly used as a backup linebacker and special teams player. During his six-season NFL career with the Cowboys, the team won three Super Bowls (XXVII, XXVIII, XXX), and Myles recorded 135 tackles and two interceptions. Myles started in eleven games during the 1995 season, but injured his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) during Super Bowl XXX. He returned to the Cowboys for his final season in 1996, but his playing time was reduced and he never started again.
Myles signed with the Denver Broncos as a free agent in April 1997, but they waived him on August 20, 1997, before the start of the 1997 regular season.

Famous quotes containing the words professional and/or career:
“Three words that still have meaning, that I think we can apply to all professional writing, are discovery, originality, invention. The professional writer discovers some aspect of the world and invents out of the speech of his time some particularly apt and original way of putting it down on paper.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
