Nathaniel Joseph Livings (born March 16, 1982) is an American football guard. He was signed by the Cincinnati Bengals as an undrafted free agent in 2006. He played college football at Louisiana State.
Early years
Livings had academic eligibility problems and instead of going to a Junior College, chose to sit out two full years taking correspondence courses. He received a scholarship to Louisiana State University, where he was a three-year starter and played every offensive line position except center. He played 38 games (34 starts) and was a part of the 2003 championship team.
Professional career
Cincinnati Bengals
Livings was signed by the Cincinnati Bengals as an undrafted free agent on May 5, 2006. He spent two seasons in the Bengals practice squad, until November 17, 2008, when he was activated from the Bengals practice squad when Abdul Hodge was placed on injured reserve. He became a starter in the eleventh game of the season, and remained a starter in the following years.
Dallas Cowboys
Livings signed as a free agent with the Dallas Cowboys on March 16, 2012, with the intention of replacing Kyle Kosier.[1] Although he started every game, his play didn’t live up to expectations. In 2013, he was placed on the injured reserve, after missing most of the pre-season with a right knee injury, the same problem that bothered him for much of the previous year. Nate Livings was released from the Cowboys Roster on September 5th 2013.[2]
