That was a decade later with the Raiders. The injury ended his football career, and nearly cost him his leg. He went on to start a software company in Vegas, sell it, then went to work for casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson.

Napoleon is the person responsible for getting Mark Davis interested in moving to Vegas, and he was also instrumental in getting both the politicians and public in Vegas to support the move.

As another poster stated he broke his leg on MNF with the Raiders against the Niners. He did have a season ending ankle injury(I think maybe knee) early in 1984 which was supposed to be his senior year. The NCAA gave him a hardship , and let him come back and play for the 85 season.
