The eighth overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft by the St. Louis Rams, Austin played 75 of his 113 career games with the franchise. He spent two years in Dallas, one in Green Bay, and one in Jacksonville following his career with the Rams, and was last with a team in 2022 when he was on the Buffalo Bills practice squad.
