Cato Nnamdi June (born November 18, 1979) is an American football coach and former player who is an assistant linebackers coach for the Indianapolis Colts of the National Football League (NFL). He played as a linebacker in the NFL after being selected by the Colts in the sixth round of the 2003 NFL draft. A 2006 Pro Bowl choice, June was a member of the Super Bowl XLI champion Colts that defeated the Chicago Bears. During the Super Bowl championship season, June was the Colts' leading tackler. In addition to his tenure with the Colts, he played in the NFL for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Before becoming a professional, he played college football for the Michigan Wolverines and was an outstanding athlete in high school football, basketball, track and field and baseball at Anacostia High School in Washington, D.C. As a senior, he was widely regarded to be the best high school football player in the District of Columbia.

Prior to winning the city championship, Anacostia had played football on a barren field that was described by The Washington Post as "rugged prairie known by players across the city as the 'dust bowl'". In 1996,
As a senior, he was a preseason USA Today honorable mention All-American and preseason SuperPrep All-American as a 6-foot-1-inch (1.85 m), 190-pound (86 kg) defensive back.
At the end of the season, he was a 1997 All-Met selection by The Washington Post and described as both the top DCIAA defensive back and as a

He was part of the nation's number one recruiting class for the undefeated defending national champion Wolverines. The team recruited numerous top 50-rated players on both offense: Justin Fargas, Marquise Walker, David Terrell and Drew Henson, and defense: Victor Hobson, Dave Armstrong, June, Bennie Joppru, and Larry Foote.[27][28][29][30] The All-Met Offensive Player of the Year, Walter Cross, was also a member of this recruiting class.[31] The class included a total of six Parade All-Americans: Fargas, Henson, Walker, Terrell, June and Hayden Epstein.[28][29] Before matriculating to Michigan he participated in the July 1998 D.C. Coaches Association All-Star game as well as the Baltimore-Washington Beltway Classic.[32] As a high schooler with aspirations of making a mark in the NFL and who kept a Deion Sanders poster in his bedroom, he left his mark by writing "Big Time 1" on things whenever the opportunity arose.[11] June graduated as salutatorian.[33]

Professional career
Indianapolis Colts
On April 27, June was selected by the Indianapolis Colts in the sixth round (25th pick) of the 2003 NFL Draft with the expectation that he would play weak side linebacker.
After losing to the
June's 2004 season had been described as average,
June had two surgeries to repair his hernia in February 2006.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
June was considered to be a fast linebacker[146][147] and a specialized talent with a better likelihood of success in a defensive scheme that was built around speed rather than size.[148] On March 17, 2007, he signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who used the defensive scheme designed by Dungy.[149][150] The New York Giants and Colts were also interested in signing June.[144] The contract was believed to be a three-year, $12 million agreement,[144] but some later reports claim it was a four-year, $17 million contract.[151]
In Tampa, June joined a defense that had been among the top 10 in the league for a decade until the 2006 Buccaneers faltered with a 4–12 record.[152][153] In 2006, they fell from 1st to 17th in team defense.[154] When June arrived it was fairly clear that Derrick Brooks would not be changing from his weakside linebacker position and that June would be moving to strongside linebacker.[155][156] When he became a Buccaneer, he stood out for his dedication and enthusiasm. For example, when the Colts had their Super Bowl ring ceremony, June flew to Indianapolis and back without missing any Buccaneers practice time.[157] As strongside linebacker he beat out Ryan Nece as the 2007 Buccaneers starter,[158] although he was considered the heir apparent to 13-year veteran and 10-time Pro Bowler Brooks at the weakside position.[159][160][161] June again wore the #59 as a Buccaneer.[162] Because of his weakside linebacker and safety experience, June was expected to remain in the game during passing situations unlike most strongside linebackers.[163][164] June also expected defenses to run at him because at 6 feet (1.8 m), 227 pounds (103 kg) he was small for an NFL strongside linebacker and one of the smallest linebackers in the NFL.[165][166]
June recorded an interception and touchdown return in the Buccaneers' third preseason game against the
June made his first interception during his second game as a Buccaneer. It led to a touchdown scoring drive during a 31–14 victory against the
June had offseason foot surgery in February 2008.[197] During the opening game of the season, Brooks suffered a hamstring injury and removed himself from the game in the third quarter, which fueled speculation during the following week that he would miss the first start of his fourteen-year career and that June would start on the weakside.[198] Brooks, however, made his 194th-consecutive start the following week.[199] In a story not published until four weeks later, Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson claims that June attempted to injure him in a November 16 game.[200] June made his first interception of the season and second as a Buccaneer on a Drew Brees pass that was tipped by Ronde Barber in the twelfth game of the season as Tampa earned its fourth consecutive victory to improve its record to 9–3 on November 30 against the New Orleans Saints.[201][202][203] After the Buccaneers lost their final four games to miss the playoffs, the Buccaneers replaced Jon Gruden and Bruce Allen with Raheem Morris and Mark Dominik as head coach and general manager.[204] The team subsequently released five veteran players in a move that was said to be unrelated to the salary cap.[205][206] June was released by the Buccaneers on February 25, 2009, along with Derrick Brooks, Ike Hilliard, Warrick Dunn and Joey Galloway.[207] The transaction avoided a $2 million roster bonus for June.[206]
Houston Texans
June was signed by the
Chicago Bears
June signed with the Chicago Bears on December 1, 2009 [214] June was signed as a replacement for Lance Briggs who had a knee injury. He played on special teams on December 6, against the St. Louis Rams, but was inactive the following week against the Green Bay Packers. He was waived on December 14 and replaced on the 53-man roster by practice squad member James Marten when Briggs returned to good health.[215][216]
