Early Life

Pollack grew up in a place called New Brunswick which is located in New Jersey. There, he studied at Shiloh High School where he was active in an array of sports including football alongside playing basketball and wrestling as well. During his time in high school, he even managed to be the Defensive Lineman of the Year through Atlanta Touchdown Club.

After graduating from high school, Pollack decided to join the University of Georgia where he played starting from 2001 under coach Mark Richt. The Georgia Bulldogs team that he played for four years there helped to solidify him as among the top young talents in American football at the time.

This is because of his excellent performances which included being part of the All American first team for three years in a row starting from his sophomore year. But that was not it as he also received several other high-profile accolades there including being the SEC Player of the Year Award in 2004 while also receiving the Chuck Bednarik Award that same year.

One of his games during the 2002 season is still acclaimed for being able to get a touchdown against all odds. By the time that his college football career had been coming to an end, Pollack had managed to get an impressive 36 sacks which is a record for any player who has played for Georgia.

He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in history and would be recognized by the University of Georgia as the top college defensive player in the nation. Some of his other awards during his time there included the Ted Hendricks Award, Lombardi Award, and the Lott Trophy. Heading towards his professional career, it seemed that Pollack was destined for success.

David Pollack Net Worth and Career

Things were going as planned for Pollack too as he managed to be the first-round pick during the NFL Draft in 2005 where he would be drafted to the Cincinnati Bengals. Pollack had a good start in his rookie season where he was able to rank second with 4.5 sacks during the season along with 22 tackles too.

Considering he had missed some games through injury and some time winning the trust of the coach, this was a great start. However, in the second season, while he was playing against the Cleveland Browns, he would suffer a devasting injury that was diagnosed as having broken the sixth cervical vertebrae.

This was a devastating moment for his career as if things had been worse, he could have even been paralyzed. Thankfully this worst-case scenario didn’t happen but things were not looking good for his career as though there were rumors he would return through an intense rehabilitation process, he had to retire.

Since then, Pollack has gone on to start his own company called FanBan which manufactures sports banners. He also has been working as a sports talk host covering college football.
