Klingbeil was a member of the Roughriders team that won the

1989 Grey Cup, and he was named the defensive MVP of the game.[1]

In the NFL, Klingbeil played five seasons for the Miami Dolphins. He scored the game-winning touchdown in coach Don Shula's 300th win, recovering a fourth-quarter Don Majkowski fumble in the end zone to propel the Dolphins to a 16–13 victory over the Green Bay Packers.[2]

Following his playing career, he worked as an assistant coach at various colleges, but also had several run-ins with the law.
