David Loverne (born May 22, 1976 from Concord, California) is a professional football player for the Houston Texans of the NFL.
Loverne did not begin playing football until high school after his mother reportedly insisted he take up sports in order to stay out of trouble. His football team, De La Salle High School, was named national champion in five different years on a winning streak which began when Loverne played there as a two-way lineman. Loverne transferred to San Jose State University after spending his freshman season at the University of Idaho.
Loverne first entered the NFL as third-round draft selection (90th overall) by the New York Jets in 1999 NFL Draft. As of 2005, Loverne plays for the Detroit Lions, signing with them on March 24, 2004.
