Early life
Cameron was born in Miami, Florida in 1953.[1] He attended Coral Gables Senior High School in Coral Gables, Florida,[2] and he was a star high school football player for the Coral Gables Cavaliers.
College career
Cameron accepted an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, where he played linebacker for coach Doug Dickey's Florida Gators football team from 1971 to 1974.[3] Cameron was a first-team All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) selection and an Associated Press third-team All-American in 1974.[3]
Cameron graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelor's degree in management in 1976, and returned to earn a J.D. degree in 1987. He was inducted into the University of Florida Athletic Hall of Fame as a "Gator Great" in 1984.[4][5] The sportswriters of The Gainesville Sun ranked him as one of the 100 greatest Gators (No. 43) of the first century of Florida football in 2006.[6]
Professional career
Cameron was chosen by the Cincinnati Bengals in the first round (14th pick overall) of the 1975 NFL draft,[7] and he spent his entire eleven-year NFL career with the Bengals, playing from 1975 to 1985.[8] He was a member of the American Football Conference (AFC) champion Bengals team that played in Super Bowl XVI in 1982. During his eleven-season career with the Bengals, he played in 159 games, started in eighty-four of them, intercepted five passes, and recovered three fumbles.[1]

Cameron is now a practicing, board certified trial lawyer and partner in the law firm of Cameron & Marroney PLLC, in West Palm Beach, Florida.[9]
