Professional career

Cincinnati Bengals Fisher was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the second round (33rd overall) of the 1999 NFL draft. As a rookie in 1999, Fisher was considered the Bengals future at cornerback, winning one of two starting cornerback spots after Corey Sawyer was released. However, in week one of the 1999 NFL season, about 12 plays into the game, Fisher tore all three major ligaments in his knee, the MCL, ACL and PCL and missed the rest of the season. The injury would prove to never allow him to regain full health and he never played another game in the NFL. He was released by the Bengals in 2001. Fisher left the team after the conclusion of the 2009 season.

Fisher now works as the Director of Business Development at Octagon Football.
