Lamont Bertrell Hollinquest (born October 24, 1970, in Los Angeles, California) is a former American football linebacker in the National Football League for the Washington Redskins and the Green Bay Packers. He played college football at the University of Southern California.

Early years[]

Hollinquest attended Pius X High School in Downey, California.[1] After spending a year at a junior college to get his academics up,[2] he played college football at USC , Hollinquest started his career as a safety[3] but then moved to linebacker after an influx of recruits and transfers as a senior.[4] It is widely believed Hollinquest introduced USC QB Todd Marinovich to social drugs while they were roommates at USC.[5]

Professional career[]

Washington Redskins[]

Hollinquest was drafted by the Washington Redskins in the eighth round (212th pick overall) of the 1993 NFL Draft.[6] In his two years with Washington, Hollinquest recorded 22 tackles and an interception.[7] The Redskins waived him near the end of the 1994 season.

Cincinnati Bengals[]

Hollinquest was picked up by the Cincinnati Bengals in time for their December 21, 1994, game, but was inactive and was later cut before the 1995 season started.[8]

Green Bay Packers[]

Following a tryout, Hollinquest played for the Green Bay Packers starting in the 1996 season. He immediately made an impact on special teams, finishing the year with 15 tackles.[9] He was part of the Packers' Super Bowl XXXI championship team. Hollinquest continued to get more playing time throughout his career in Green Bay, with his tackles increasing each year.[10] The Packers did not re-sign Hollinquest after the 1998 season. After he was cut by the Chiefs, the Packers signed Hollinquest in August 1999 due to a lack of depth at linebacker and the retirement of Robert Brooks.[11] After the NFL suspended Hollinquest for the first four games of the season due to substance abuse problems,[12] the Packers cut Hollinquest on August 30, 1999.[13]

Kansas City Chiefs[]

The Kansas City Chiefs signed Hollinquest in March 1999.[14] He was waived before training camp began.
