Dan played both football and baseball at Bellarmine College Prep and, in 1968, he was drafted by the New York Mets who saw him as a potential major-league shortstop.

His interest in baseball soon fell to his skill at football and he wound up playing in the East-West Shrine Game and the Senior Bowl. These appearances prompted the Houston Oilers to make him their #1 pick in the 1971 draft. Dan quarterbacked for the Oilers for several years before moving on to the Oakland Raiders, the L.A. Rams and the Philadelphia Eagles.
