Munford was born in Lincoln, Nebraska and attended Heritage High School in Littleton, Colorado. He played college football at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, where he was a three-time All-Big Eight Conference selection by the Associated Press. He earned second-team recognition as a sophomore, and first-team as both a junior and senior. As a sophomore, he was also honored by Gannett News Service as a first-team All-American.
Munford was selected by the Denver Broncos in the fourth round of the 1987 NFL draft, and spent four years with the team. He started 16 of the 48 games in which he appeared, with two interceptions, one sack, and three fumble recoveries. He signed with the Kansas City Chiefs for the 1991 season, as a "Plan B" free-agent, but spent the year on the injured reserve list.
