Professional career

Dallas Cowboys

Garmon was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the seventh round (243rd overall) of the 1999 NFL draft, after dropping because of his broken leg.[1] He spent his first season on the Reserve-Non-Football Injury list, recovering from the injury he suffered during his senior year in college. In 2000, he was declared inactive for the first 15 games, while regaining his playing form. He was active in the season finale against the Tennessee Titans, but did not play.

In 2001, he started all 16 games at right guard, after the team moved Solomon Page to right tackle. He contributed to the team rushing for 136.5 yards-per-game (third in the league).

It is believed 2002 was the first time an NFL franchise had five African American starters on their offensive line, when the Cowboys lined up rookie center Andre Gurode, tackles Flozell Adams and Solomon Page, guards Larry Allen and Garmon.[2] That season, he started five games (3 at right guard and 2 at left guard) before being traded to the San Diego Chargers.

San Diego Chargers

On October 12, 2002, the Cowboys traded Garmon to the San Diego Chargers in exchange for a seventh round draft pick (#236-Brandon Drumm),[3] reuniting with Hudson Houck who was his offensive line coach with the Cowboys. He went on to start five out of the seven remaining games at left guard. In 2003, he started all 16 games for the Chargers.

Cleveland Browns

On March 23, 2004, Garmon signed with the Cleveland Browns as a free agent.[4] He started eight games before suffering a knee injury and being placed on the injured reserve list on November 9.[5] He was released on March 28, 2005.[6]

Oakland Raiders

On April 20, 2006, he signed as a free agent with the Oakland Raiders.[7] He was released before the season started on September 2.[8]
