He is currently a broadcaster for the Las Vegas Raiders and Premiere Radio Networks. Early years Born in York, Pennsylvania, Kennedy grew up in the southeast part of San Diego, California. His birth name was Tamerlane Fizel Kennedy Jr., but his mother called him "Little Lincoln", referring to their shared birthday (February 12). The nickname stuck, and Lincoln had it legally changed after college. He graduated from San Diego's Samuel F. B. Morse High School in 1988, where he played football for the Morse Tigers. College career Kennedy attended the University of Washington in Seattle, where he played for the Huskies under head coach Don James. After redshirting as a true freshman in 1988, he was switched from defense to offense. In 1991 and 1992, he was the recipient of the Morris Trophy, awarded annually to the outstanding offensive lineman in the Pacific-10 Conference. As a senior, he was a consensus first-team All-American in 1992, and started in his third consecutive Rose Bowl; a year earlier, the Huskies went undefeated and shared the national championship (with Miami). Kennedy was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2015. Professional career National Football League Kennedy was the ninth overall pick in the 1993 NFL Draft, taken by the Atlanta Falcons. He started at left guard throughout his rookie season in 1993, but lost the job the following year to veteran free agent Dave Richards, out of UCLA. After a disappointing 1995 season, Kennedy was traded to the Oakland Raiders in exchange for a fifth-round pick in the 1997 NFL Draft, where he started at right tackle in all but three games of his first seven seasons there. In November 1999, during a Monday night game against the Denver Broncos at Mile High Stadium, Kennedy went after a fan who hit him in the face with a snowball. As a member of the Raiders, Kennedy was named to three consecutive Pro Bowls and anchored the offensive line in Super Bowl XXXVII. After
