Dameyune Vashon Craig[1] (born April 19, 1974 in Mobile, Alabama) is a former professional American football quarterback in the NFL for four seasons for the Carolina Panthers.[2] He is currently the running backs coach for the University of South Alabama.[3]
Dameyune Craig's jersey from his NFL Europa stint with the Scottish Claymores hangs in Canton, Ohio. There is also a placard to explain his jersey's presence — his professional American football-record 611 yards passing in a game between the Claymores and the Frankfurt Galaxy on May 22, 1999. Craig played high school football for Mattie T. Blount High School for legendary coach Ben Harris. He helped lead his team to two state championships in 1990 and 1992.
Craig entered the coaching ranks with a season as an assistant at his alma mater Blount High School, followed by a season as a graduate assistant at LSU with his previous quarterbacks coach at Auburn, Jimbo Fisher. In 2005, he followed LSU head coach Nick Saban to the Miami Dolphins as a special teams assistant coach, but left in 2006 to become the quarterbacks coach for the Division II Tuskegee University Golden Tigers.[4] Tuskegee has won two Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in Craig's first two seasons on staff.
