He was also a member of the Ohio Bobcats track and field team, where he was a premiere sprinter and placed sixth in the 100 meter dash at the 2004 Mid-American Conference championships.

Professional career

Cox was originally signed by the Detroit Lions as an undrafted rookie free agent on April 28, 2005, and he spent the 2005 training camp and preseason with the team. However, Cox was released on August 30, and he subsequently played in the CFL for the Montreal Alouettes. On January 9, 2007, he was signed by the Washington Redskins but was cut before training camp and returned to Montreal. After switching to the linebacker position for the 2009 season, Cox led the CFL in forced fumbles and capped off the year by winning the 97th Grey Cup with the Alouettes.

In 2013 Cox had a career high, and league leading number of tackles with 114. He also won the CFL's Most Outstanding Defensive Player Award and the James P. McCaffrey Trophy. With his 114 tackles that season, he broke the Montreal Alouettes single-season record of 110 set by Tracy Gravely in the 1996 CFL season.

On November 5, 2011 against the B.C. Lions, Cox reached 400 career defensive tackles with the Alouettes, becoming the only player in club history to achieve this feat. He is the club's all-time leader in defensive tackles with 800.

In his 10th season in the CFL, Cox is still one of the top defensive players of the league. So far, in his career he has recorded 800 tackles, 25 sacks, 22 interceptions and 8 fumbles recoveries. He is also a 4-times CFL all-star and a 6-times East division all-star. He was a member of both the 97th Grey Cup and 98th Grey Cup championship team with the Montreal Alouettes.
