Biography

Jamie Robert Duncan (born July 20, 1975) is an American former professional football player who was a linebacker for seven seasons in the National Football League (NFL). From Wilmington, Delaware, he was a top player at Christiana High School, where he was a two-time first-team All-State selection and helped Christiana to a conference championship and runner-up finish at the Division I state championship. Delaware's Gatorade Player of the Year in 1992, Duncan signed to play college football for the Vanderbilt Commodores of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). At Vanderbilt, Duncan redshirted as a freshman in 1993 before winning a starting role at linebacker in 1994. He was one of the team's top tacklers throughout his college career and was considered their strongest player. Duncan was named first-team All-SEC as a redshirt junior in 1996 after leading the conference with 152 tackles. Then, as a senior in 1997, he captained the Commodores and was named first-team All-SEC, first-team All-American and the SEC Defensive Player of the Year. Duncan was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the third round of the 1998 NFL draft. He spent most of his rookie season as a backup before becoming the starting middle linebacker late in the year after an injury to Hardy Nickerson. After serving as a backup and special teams player in 1999, he became the full-time starter following Nickerson's departure in 2000, recording four interceptions that season. Duncan placed second on the team in tackles in 2001 before signing with the St. Louis Rams in 2002. He played two seasons with the Rams and one for the Atlanta Falcons before concluding his career. He entered business after his football career.
