Lachey graduated from St. Henry High School and then played college football at Ohio State University, where he was an All-American offensive guard.[1][2] He was a three-time Pro Bowl player in 1987 with the Chargers, and 1990 and 1991 with the Redskins as a member of "The Hogs." He helped the Redskins win Super Bowl XXVI. He was also a three-time All-Pro selection.[1]
Lachey later became a broadcaster and wrote a book called Jim Lachey: The Ultimate Protector.[3][4]
Lachey currently is a radio broadcaster for Buckeyes football games.[1] His son Luke, currently a tight end on the Iowa Hawkeyes football team, says Jim encouraged him to make his own college decision, "pick wherever I want to go, it’s not about anyone else.”[5]
Lachey coached for the Columbus Destroyers during their run to the XXI Arena Bowl in 2007.
