Professional Career
Sehorn spent most of his career playing the cornerback position for the New York Giants. During his time with the Giants, Sehorn received some notability for being the only white starting cornerback in the NFL. Upon his release, Sehorn signed with the St. Louis Rams as a safety. He did not play during the 2004 season, however, as his contract with the Rams was terminated after he failed a physical examination.
After a highly successful season in 1997, Sehorn suffered a debilitating knee injury, tearing both his anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments, returning the opening kickoff in the 1998 preseason game against the New York Jets. Though Sehorn returned the next season, his speed was greatly diminished.
Sehorn was signed by the Chicago Cubs after just one season of playing American Legion Baseball following his senior year of high school. Sehorn played the outfield but failed to produce as a hitter.

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)
“Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman’s natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
