He was only the third player in Big Ten history to start all 50 games of his career. He also played for the Wisconsin Badgers.
In 1999 and 2000, he helped Wisconsin become the only Big Ten team to win consecutive Rose Bowl Championships.
In that year’s draft, the Wausau resident, then 44, was chosen by the Green Bay Packers. He played for the Packers, Redskins, and Panthers before retiring in 2005.
Ferrario was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the fourth round (201st overall) of the 2001 NFL Draft.
During his time with the Packers in 2002, he appeared in all 16 games.
Ferrario was released by Green Bay on September 5, 2004 after being waived in 2003. He signed with the Washington Redskins on February 4, 2004.
He signed with the Carolina Panthers on November 11, 2004, although he did not play in any games that season. Farrario was released by the Panthers on August 28, 2005.

On Wednesday, he was additionally charged with driving under the influence for the second time. That charge was based on an incident that occurred during a fall.
