Tamerlane Lincoln Kennedy, Jr. (born February 12, 1971) is a former American college and professional football player who was an offensive tackle in the National Football League (NFL) for eleven seasons. He played college football for the University of Washington, and was recognized as an All-American. A first-round draft pick in the 1993 NFL Draft, he played professionally for the Atlanta Falcons and Oakland Raiders of the NFL and 3 yrs for the Tampa Bay Storm of the Arena Football League. He is currently a broadcaster for Fox Sports and Premiere Radio Networks.

Early years

Kennedy was born in York, Pennsylvania,[1] and grew up in the southeast part of San Diego, California. He graduated from Samuel F.B. Morse High School in San Diego,[2] and played high school football for the Morse Tigers.

College career

Kennedy attended the University of Washington, where he played for the Washington Huskies football team. In 1991 and 1992, he was the recipient of the Morris Trophy, awarded annually to the outstanding offensive lineman in the Pacific-10 Conference. In 1992, he was also recognized as a consensus first-team All-American.

Kennedy was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2015.[3]

Professional career

National Football League

Kennedy was the ninth overall pick in the 1993 NFL Draft taken by the Atlanta Falcons,[4] and he played for the Falcons from {{NFL Year|1993}} to {{NFL Year|1995}}.[5] He started at left guard throughout his rookie season, but lost the job the following year to another first-year player, Dave Richards out of UCLA. After a disappointing 1995 season, Kennedy was traded to the Oakland Raiders, where he started at right tackle in all but three games of his seven-year tenure there. As a member of the Raiders, Kennedy was named to three consecutive Pro Bowls and anchored the offensive line in Super Bowl XXXVII.

After leaving the field in 2004, Kennedy's degree in speech communications prepared him to accept a position with the NFL Network as one of the hosts of NFL Total Access.

[6]

In 2005, his attempted comeback with the Dallas Cowboys failed due to his inability to pass the team physical.

Arena Football League

In 2007, 2008 and 2010 he played for the Tampa Bay Storm in the Arena Football League.

Broadcasting

Kennedy currently works for Fox Sports Radio as show co-host. He also has called Pac-10 college football games as the color analyst and as a track reporter during NASCAR races. In 2013, he joined the Oakland Raiders radio broadcast team and in 2018 was promoted to color commentator alongside play-by-play announcer Brent Musburger. He has also been a guest co-host on San Francisco radio station 95.7 The Game.

Other information

His birth name was Tamerlane Fizel Kennedy Jr., but his mother called him 'Little Lincoln', referring to their shared birthday (February 12). The nickname stuck, and Lincoln had it legally changed after college.

He also made an appearance in the movie The Marine.

During a game against the Denver Broncos at Mile High Stadium, Kennedy went after a fan who hit him in the face with a snowball.

[7]

Once, not long after the death of John F. Kennedy Jr., Kennedy made the remark on ESPN's SportsCenter that, "My name's Lincoln Kennedy, I ain't got a chance," in reference to the assassination of Presidents Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy.

Kennedy made an appearance on the TV show Arli$$ in 2000, Episode: 504 "Comings and Goings" and appeared in Two and a Half Men in 2005, ("Principal Gallagher's Lesbian Lover").

Kennedy held the all-time record on the "Wall of Fame" at Seattle eatery Shultzy's Sausage before the restaurant changed locations and did away with the Wall. In his record-setting effort, he consumed 11 of the restaurant's signature link sausages on French rolls and a large Coca-Cola within one hour.[8]
