Derrick Steven Fenner (born April 6, 1967), is an American former professional football player who was a running back in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the North Carolina Tar Heels and was selected by the Seattle Seahawks in the tenth round of the 1989 NFL draft.[1] Fenner played in 120 NFL games from 1989 to 1997. His best year as a pro came during the 1990 season for the Seahawks when he scored 15 touchdowns (14 rushing and 1 receiving).
In 1987, Fenner spent time in jail after being arrested and charged for a murder. He was later released after his lawyer established that he had not been at the scene of the crime. In 1988, he pleaded guilty to cocaine possession and received probation. As a result of his legal troubles, the University of North Carolina parted ways with him and Fenner went into the NFL draft. After football he made his home with his wife and 2 children in Seattle.[2]
