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.

“If I’d written all the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people—including me—would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism.”
—Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)
“The 19-year-old Diana ... decided to make her career that of wife. Today that can be a very, very iffy line of work.... And what sometimes happens to the women who pursue it is the best argument imaginable for teaching girls that they should always be able to take care of themselves.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
