Career

He was drafted by the Tampa Bay Bandits of the United States Football League in 1983 after a college football career at Florida A&M.

His last USFL season, 1985, saw him catch 31 passes for 478 yards and 6 touchdowns as an injury shortened his season. He was named to one USFL All-Star team during his USFL career.

His career seemed over until the National Football League strike in 1987, when he crossed the picket line as a replacement player and played for the Detroit Lions as their starting wide receiver. He caught 12 passes for 207 yards and 1 touchdown before the regular players returned. Truvillion retired from pro football after that.
