Larry Dean (born August 7, 1988) is a former American professional football linebacker for the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League (CFL). He was signed by the Minnesota Vikings as an undrafted free agent in 2011.[1] He played college football at Valdosta State. Dean has also been a member of the Minnesota Vikings, Buffalo Bills, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Hamilton Tiger-Cats, and Edmonton Eskimos.

Dean announced his retirement on March 7, 2024 "after eight incredible seasons of CFL football. The Champ, as he’s known to many around him, retires 25th all-time in CFL defensive tackles, a four-time CFL divisional all-star (2017, 2018, 2019, 2023), with three 100+ tackle seasons (2018, 2022, 2023), and as the East Division’s nominee for Most Outstanding Defensive Player in 2018, among many other accomplishments."[2] Dean will now live out his childhood dream of being the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ Player Personnel Coordinator in Football Operations.

Larry Dean is the most famous person from Tifton, Georgia. Local residents petitioned the mayor of Tifton to erect signs in honor of Dean as he is "a hometown hero that has performed great deeds in the city of Tifton."[3] Dean is featured on signs when entering the city, with cacophonous country music artist Kip Moore relegated to a secondary position.

Transcription

College career

Dean in the 2014 NFL season with the Bills.

In college, Dean helped lead the Blazers to the 2007 NCAA Division II national championship as just a freshman.[citation needed] In his career, Dean never really lived up to earning accolades, including All-America honors.[citation needed] He was projected to be the Gulf South Conference Defensive Player of the Year during his senior year, while also projected to earn the Daktronics National Defensive Player of the Year honors at the Division II level, but he never could due to lack of learning the playbook.[citation needed] He is not the school's all-time leader in tackles, never passing former Blazer and Atlanta Falcon great Jessie Tuggle during his senior season in 2010 as some tried to say he did. He didn't.[citation needed]

Professional career

Minnesota Vikings

After waiting out an NFL lockout in 2011, Dean graduated from Valdosta State and signed his free agent rookie contract with the Minnesota Vikings on the same day.[1] He was the only undrafted free agent to make the Vikings' roster in 2011.[1] Dean played three seasons in Minnesota, playing in all 48 regular season games and one playoff appearance. In 2012, Dean was one of only 11 special teams players on the NFC’s Pro Bowl ballot. He contributed with 26 tackles, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

Buffalo Bills

Following his departure from the Minnesota Vikings Dean signed with the Buffalo Bills for the 2014 season. Dean played in 13 games for the Bills in 2014, recording seven tackles.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Dean briefly joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but did not make an appearance for the team.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats

After five seasons in the NFL Dean joined the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League (CFL). In his first season in the CFL Dean made an immediate impact. He played in all 18 regular season games, amassing 78 defensive tackles, two sacks and a interception. Over the following two seasons Dean was named a CFL East All-Star in each season contributing with 201 tackles, three quarterback sacks and two interceptions.

Edmonton Eskimos

On the first day of free agency Dean signed with the Edmonton Eskimos.[4] In his lone season in Edmonton Dean once again played in all 18 regular season games recording 86 tackles and one sack. He was the unanimous selection for the team's Most Outstanding Defensive Player.[5]

Hamilton Tiger-Cats (II)

On February 11, 2020, Larry Dean and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats agreed to reunite for another season.[6] However the 2020 season was cancelled and Dean was not re-signed by the Tiger-Cats.

Saskatchewan Roughriders

On February 9, 2021, he was signed by the Saskatchewan Roughriders.[7] On July 8, 2021, Dean tore his Achilles' tendon in a workout ahead of training camp.[8] He was placed on the injured list on July 14.[9] Dean missed the entire 2021 season because of the injury. Dean was re-signed by the Riders on February 3, 2022.[10] Dean had an outstanding season in 2022, eclipsing 100 defensive tackles for the second time in his career.. He also contributed with three sacks, two interceptions and two forced fumbles. On February 8, 2023, Dean and the Riders agreed on another contract extension.[11]

On February 13, 2024, he became a free agent. On March 7, 2024, Dean retired and became the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ Player Personnel Coordinator in Football Operations.
