Boso attended the same high school, Saint Matthew Catholic School in Indianapolis IN (K-8), as Nick Martin of the Houston Texans, Zack Martin of the Dallas Cowboys, and Ted Karras of the Miami Dolphins. He played college football at the University of Illinois.[1] Drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 8th round of the 1986 NFL Draft, Boso was cut early and subsequently signed by the St. Louis Cardinals, for whom he played 2 games in 1986. In 1987, the Cardinals waived him and the Chicago Bears signed him. Boso played for the Bears until 1991, after he experienced a series of knee injuries.[2] Boso later filed suit and won the right to receive $353 a week in disability pay for the rest of his life.[2]
