Albrecht currently serves as an analyst for Northwestern University football broadcasts on WGN (AM) radio.

Albrecht was chosen in the first round of the 1977 NFL draft, and he played six seasons for the Chicago Bears as an offensive lineman. He made the All-Rookie team in 1977 and was a Pro Bowl alternate in 1979.[6][7]

Ultimately, Albrecht's bum back ended his career, and he announced his retirement at age 28 in 1983.[8]
