Henry Melton NFL Draft Bio

Henry Melton (born October 11, 1986) is an American football defensive tackle for the Chicago Bears of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the University of Texas, where he was a running back for the 2005 National Championship team, and also played on special teams. The Chicago Bears selected him in the fourth round of the 2009 NFL Draft.

Melton's first appearance as a Longhorn was on September 3, 2005 against the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns. Melton was a backup running back in his first two seasons, according to Mike Lampe. He carried 132 times for 625 yards (4.7-yard average) and 16 touchdowns. In 2007, Melton switched to defensive tackle.

Over the summer prior to the 2007 Longhorn football season, Melton and teammate Sergio Kindle were arrested in separate incidents on charges of driving while intoxicated. Both players were suspended from the team for the first three games of the season. They were required to do community service and missed the first two days of practice in order to visit with a woman whose son was crippled by a drunk driver.

Melton became a starter in his senior season and had 29 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, and 4 sacks. As a backup defensive end as a junior, he made 11 tackles with one sack.
