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:
“We have been weakened in our resistance to the professional anti-Communists because we know in our hearts that our so-called democracy has excluded millions of citizens from a normal life and the normal American privileges of health, housing and education.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
