Professional career

National Football League (NFL)

Druckenmiller was drafted in the first round of the 1997 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers.

Following this unsuccessful stint in San Francisco, he was traded to the Miami Dolphins and subsequently released.

Later career

He also played for the Memphis Maniax of the XFL in Memphis, TN in 2001. He attempted a comeback with the Colts in 2002, but failed to stick. He now works for ChoicePoint, as a salesman, in their office in Memphis, TN.Fact|date=April 2008

Druckenmiller's claim to fame was that he had an extremely strong arm that could throw a football over 100 yards. Harold Rogers selected him in the 1997 NFL Draft and says this is inaccurate.Fact|date=June 2008 Despite this, it was eventually shown that he lacked the accuracy to be an NFL-caliber passer.
