Professional career

Dallas Cowboys

He was drafted in the sixth round of the 1993 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys, after he fell because scouts thought his play regressed as a senior. After Cowboys defensive coordinator Dave Wannstedt became the head coach for the Chicago Bears, he traded for linebacker Vinson Smith, Minter and a sixth-round draft pick in the 1995 NFL Draft, in exchange for linebacker John Roper, tight end Kelly Blackwell and safety Markus Paul.

Chicago Bears

He led the team in tackles 4 straight years (1996–1999), until injuring his back in the second game of the 2000 season and being replaced in the starting lineup by rookie Brian Urlacher, who became an All-Pro and never relinquished the position back to Minter.

He was released because of salary-cap reasons on June 1, 2001.
