Professional careeredit
Green Bay Packersedit
In the 1996 NFL draft, the Green Bay Packers selected Flanagan in the third round as the 90th overall pick.[3] Flanagan sat out the 1996 and 1997 seasons due to an injury sustained during the 1996 preseason.[1]
Although the Green Bay Packers traded Flanagan to the Carolina Panthers in August 1998, the trade was nullified because Flanagan did not pass a physical.[2] With the Packers, Flanagan made his professional regular season debut on December 13, 1998, a victory over the Chicago Bears.[4] Flanagan became the starting center in 2001.[2] Flanagan was named to the Pro Bowl for the first time in 2003, the first Packers center to be named since 1996. Flanagan sat out the season after October 2004 due to knee surgery.[5][6]

On March 24, 2006, Flanagan signed with the Houston Texans.[1] He was released by the Texans on February 20, 2008.[7]
