He played there until 2007. He later played for the Indianapolis Colts in 2008.
During his career, he received the nicknames Hefty Lefty and Pillsbury Throwboy because of his high weight for a quarterback and being left handed.[2] He was born in Covington, Kentucky.
Lorenzen died on July 3, 2019 in Lexington, Kentucky from heart and kidney failure caused by an infection, aged 38.[3][4]
