He spent part of 2007 and 2008 with the Denver Broncos of the NFL.

Price spent 10 weeks on Calgary's practice roster in 2009 before spending time with the Jacksonville Sharks of the Arena Football League. He also had brief stints in the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Washington Redskins, Baltimore Ravens, San Francisco 49ers, New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs.
