Quick was born on April 26, 1964. He attended Scotland High School in Laurinburg, North Carolina, and was named all-east in 1980.[1] He was recruited to the Division I-A LSU Tigers after graduating, but ended up playing college football for Catawba College.[2]
After going unselected in the 1987 NFL draft, Quick was signed by the Atlanta Falcons as an undrafted free agent.[3] He was waived in August, but re-signed during the Players' Association strike, in which each team hired replacement players. He appeared in one game with the team as backup offensive tackle, a 17–25 loss against the San Francisco 49ers.[4] At the end of the strike, most replacement players were released. Quick later said, "I'd jump on a plane and fly to Atlanta and spent a night in Atlanta for $1,000 any time."[5]
