Lamont Bertrell Hollinquest (born October 24, 1970) is an American former professional football player who was a linebacker in the National Football League (NFL) for the Washington Redskins and the Green Bay Packers. He played college football for the USC Trojans.
Early life
[edit]Hollinquest attended Pius X High School in Downey, California.[1] After spending a year at a junior college to get his academics up,[2] he played college football at the University of Southern California. Hollinquest started his career as a safety[3] but then moved to linebacker after an influx of recruits and transfers as a senior.[4] It is widely believed Hollinquest introduced USC QB Todd Marinovich to social drugs while they were roommates at USC.[5]
Professional career
[edit]Washington Redskins
[edit]Hollinquest was selected by the Washington Redskins in the eighth round (212th pick overall) of the 1993 NFL draft.[6][7] In his two years with Washington, Hollinquest recorded 22 tackles and an interception.[8] The Redskins waived him near the end of the 1994 season.
Cincinnati Bengals
[edit]Hollinquest was picked up by the Cincinnati Bengals in time for their December 21, 1994, game, but was inactive and was later cut before the 1995 season started.[9]
Green Bay Packers
[edit]Following a tryout, Hollinquest played for the Green Bay Packers starting in the 1996 season. He immediately made an impact on special teams, finishing the year with 15 tackles.[10] He was part of the Packers' Super Bowl XXXI championship team. Hollinquest continued to get more playing time throughout his career in Green Bay, with his tackles increasing each year.[11] The Packers did not re-sign Hollinquest after the 1998 season. After he was cut by the Chiefs, the Packers signed Hollinquest in August 1999 due to a lack of depth at linebacker and the retirement of Robert Brooks.[12] After the NFL suspended Hollinquest for the first four games of the season due to substance abuse problems,[13] the Packers cut Hollinquest on August 30, 1999.[14]
Kansas City Chiefs
[edit]The Kansas City Chiefs signed Hollinquest in March 1999.[15] He was waived before training camp began.
Post-career life
[edit]On February 8, 2013, Hollinquest was arrested in Maricopa County, Arizona for narcotic drug possession and use, possession and use of drug paraphernalia and driving with a suspended/revoked license.[16] He has three kids, Chaz, Courtney and Kohl.[17]
