Early life
Both of his parents died before he turned 16.[2] Colvin played high school football for De La Salle High School Spartans. His senior class held a 151-game-winning streak, the longest recorded streak in American football history.[3] In 2014, a film When the Game Stands Tall was released, telling the story about the record.[4]
College career
As a high school senior, Colvin announced his decision to attend the University of Oregon live on ESPN.[5] He graduated from Oregon in 2007.[5]
Professional career
Colvin was signed to the San Francisco 49ers on April 27, 2008. He earned high praise from the offensive coordinator Mike Martz, who said of him, "He's physical. He uses his speed, and he goes after the ball. I'm very pleased with him. He doesn't make many mistakes. He's come out of the blue. We weren't really counting on him to be a factor, but all of a sudden, he's looking pretty good."[2]
Legal issues
Colvin has been the president of CamCo Commercial Inc., a company incorporated in Nevada, since July 2019.[1] Both Colvin and CamCo have lost multiple separate civil court cases alleging fraud, breach of contract, failing to pay employees, and a handful of other related charges, totaling over $8 million.[6]
