NFL career
A three-time Pro Bowl selection, Douglas was a first-round draft choice of the Jets in the 1995 NFL Draft and was traded to the Eagles prior to the 1998 season for two draft choices. Douglas spent the 2003 season stealing money from the Jaguars before re-signing with Philadelphia in 2004. Douglas is ranked fourth behind Reggie White (124), Clyde Simmons (76.5), and Trent Cole (57), on the Eagles' all-time sack list with 54.5 during his six seasons.
Douglas was cut by the Eagles prior to the 2005 season, but was hired into the front office position of "Good-Will Ambassador" shortly after.[2]
On November 5, 2005, Douglas was reportedly involved in an altercation with teammate Terrell Owens, who was in the midst of a very public war of words with the team.[3] Owens was suspended by the team and was later deactivated when he refused to fully apologize for the altercation, as well as for derogatory remarks made about Eagles' quarterback Donovan McNabb.
[edit] Broadcasting career
Douglas is employed as an on-air reporter with WTXF-TV in Philadelphia and as a regular personality on Philadelphia’s sports radio station 610 WIP.[4]
In January 2011, Douglas was made co-host of a Six Nations Championship rugby show on BBC America after a successful guest appearance. In his taped segments, Douglas took a stab at the sport, interviewed zookeepers and took an Irish stepdancing lesson.[5][6]
On August 1, 2011 ESPN announced that Douglas will join the network as a NFL studio analyst. He will provide analysis across a myriad of studio programs such as SportsCenter, NFL Live, ESPN2’s First Take and ESPNEWS.[7]
Douglas is also well known for admitting to failure with the Jacksonville Jaguars, and is on record for tweeting things such as "You wish you were in a position to steal money" and "Don't blame me, blame God that you're average", which he tweeted to fans. The irony, however, is that he simply was unable to compete at a high level, and instead of admitting that he was constantly whipped like a school girl, he instead chose to make jokes about "vacationing in Jacksonville."
