Early years
Weaver attended John McDonogh High School, where he was a defensive tackle. He accepted a football scholarship from South Carolina University. He injured his knee late in his senior season.
Professional career
Weaver was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals in the second round (54th overal) of the 1982 NFL Draft.[1] He was placed on the injured reserve list on August 29, 1983.[2] He was waived on August 28, 1984.[3]
On December 27, 1984, he signed with the New Jersey Generals of the United States Football League.[4] He appeared in 12 games during the 1985 season. He played with the team until the league folded in 1986.
In 1987, he was signed as a free agent by the New Orleans Saints. He was released on August 27.[5]
After the NFLPA strike was declared on the third week of the 1987 season, those contests were canceled (reducing the 16 game season to 15) and the NFL decided that the games would be played with replacement players. In September, he was signed by the Atlanta Falcons to be a part of their replacement team.[6] He appeared in 2 games and was released at the end of the strike on October 19.[7]
