Anthony Dorsett, Jr. is a former NFL player who was drafted in the sixth round of the 1996 NFL Draft by the Houston Oilers (now known as the Tennessee Titans). Anthony played four seasons with the Titans, where he made his first Super Bowl appearance as starting free safety in 1999. After starting in Super Bowl XXXIV with the Titans he joined the Oakland Raiders in 2000. During his four year tenure in Oakland, Dorsett and the Raiders won the AFC championship and appeared in Super Bowl XXXVII.
Throughout Anthony's eight year career in the NFL he was committed to bringing understanding, compassion and financial assistance to youth all across America.

While in Oakland he functioned as the Raiders spokesperson to the Boys and Girls Clubs.

Together, Anthony and the foundation gave away an estimated 2,000 holiday dinners and hundreds of toys to under privileged children.
Anthony has successfully transitioned from the NFL to a career in the entertainment industry where he has appeared in film, television and is pursuing additional opportunities including theater. Dorsett starred as the character Shane in the independent film "Losing Faith" which was released in 2008.
He has hosted BET's MADD Sports; appeared in multiple commercials; and was commentator/radio personality with WTN Sports Radio, in Nashville, TN.
