He graduated from Princeton University in 1989 with a degree in History.</p>

<h2>Professional Football Career</h2>
<p>Garrett began his professional football journey in 1989 when he signed as an undrafted free agent with the New Orleans Saints. In 1991, he played for the San Antonio Riders in the World League of American Football.

<p>One of his most memorable performances came on Thanksgiving Day in 1994, when he passed for 311 yards and 2 touchdowns, leading the Cowboys to a dramatic second-half comeback against the Green Bay Packers. ESPN later ranked the game as the fourth-best moment in Texas Stadium history. Garrett was promoted to the second-string quarterback role for the 1998 and 1999 seasons.</p>

<p>In 2000, he signed with the New York Giants, where he played until 2003. After short stays with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Miami Dolphins in 2004, Garrett retired from playing the game professionally.</p>

<h2>Coaching Career and Leadership with the Dallas Cowboys</h2>
