Professional career

Dallas Cowboys

Frederick was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the fifth round (137th overall) of the 1977 NFL Draft as a defensive tackle. The Cowboys offense needed help and like Blaine Nye and Pat Donovan before him, he was switched to the offensive line in training camp. As a rookie he was a part of the Super Bowl XII winning team.

In 1978, he was named the starter at right tackle replacing the retired Ralph Neely,^[2] before being relegated into a reserve role after the fifth game. He was waived on September 3, 1982.^[3]

Cleveland Browns

On September 9, 1982, he was signed by the Cleveland Browns as a free agent. He was traded the Chicago Bears on April 28, 1983, in exchange for past considerations.^[4]

Chicago Bears

In 1983, he started 6 games at right tackle for the Chicago Bears. During the Super Bowl run in 1985, he was mostly used as an extra tight end in goal line situations. He was placed on the injured reserve list with a toe injury in 1986.^[5] The next year he failed the physical exam and did not make the team.^[6]
