Tony grew up in Columbia, South Carolina where he also attended W. J. Keenan High School. During his teenage years, he discovered his interest in American Football which followed him through his years at the University of Tennessee. However, he abandoned college in his junior year to pursue a professional NFL career. His pro career began when he was picked as an undrafted free agent by the Jacksonville Jaguars after the 2006 NFL Draft. In his rookie season he appeared as a reserve defensive tackle in 11 games, although due to a hip injury he was forced to skip the last several games of the season. This engagement provided the basis for Tony McDaniel’s net worth.
After two years spent with the Jaguars, in 2009 McDaniel transferred to the Miami Dolphins, after being traded in the seventh round of the 2009 NFL Draft. He spent the next four seasons with the franchise, playing in 54 games, before signing a one-year playing contract with the Seattle Seahawks in 2013. In February 2014, McDaniel won the Super Bowl XLVIII when his Seahawks devastated the Denver Broncos with a 43-8 victory. His contract was extended, and in the following season, he participated in Super Bowl XLIX, but this time losing to the New England Patriots. It is certain that all these accomplishments helped Tony McDaniel to dramatically increase the size of his net worth.
In August 2015, McDaniel was traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, signing a one-year deal, then in August 2016, he signed one-year contract with his former team, the Seattle Seahawks. After spending one season in Seattle, he relocated to New Orleans, where in June 2017 he signed with the Saints. However, after just a couple of months, on the 1st September he was released from the franchise, and is currently a free agent. Nonetheless, all these engagements made an impact on Tony McDaniel’s net worth.
In his so far career, Tony McDaniel has played over 140 games, compiling around 12 sacks and more than 260 tackles.
When it comes to his personal life, Tony faced charges for domestic battery after allegedly physically assaulting his now ex-girlfriend in February 2010.
