Boerigter started his professional career in the Canadian Football League with the Calgary Stampeders after enjoying a standout collegiate career at tiny Hastings College in Nebraska. Boerigter's physical size, speed, and considerable skill helped the Stamps win the 2001 Grey Cup.

Boerigter joined the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League in 2002, where he enjoyed a successful rookie season. He missed most of the 2004 season due to injury. He also holds the record, along with nine other receivers, for the longest pass caught in the NFL, 99 yards, from Kansas City quarterback Trent Green, in a December 22, 2002 game against the San Diego Chargers.

Boerigter was signed by the Green Bay Packers in the 2006 offseason, but was released prior to the season. He immediately signed a free agent contract with the Indianapolis Colts but was once again released prior to the start of the 2006 NFL season. On November 20th, 2006 he signed a contract with his former CFL team, the Calgary Stampeders.
