[3] He is remembered by many fans for his hit on Fresno quarterback Ryan Colburn later in that same game, in which he launched himself head first, leaping over a would-be blocker, narrowly missing a sack.

But TCU, led by quarterback Andy Dalton covered nearly 70 yards in under 45 seconds, setting themselves up for a potential game tying score.

However, on the ensuing play Dalton threw a pass towards the left sideline which was intercepted by Venable to seal the victory.

[5] On July 27, 2011, following the resolution of a labor dispute between the NFL Players Association and team owners, Venable was signed by the Chicago Bears as an undrafted free agent.

[6] On September 9, 2011, Venable was fined $20,000 by the NFL for a hit he delivered on Cleveland Browns receiver Demetrius Williams in the team's final preseason game.

[8] Despite his short tenure on the Bears, Venable managed to carry over the reputation as a hard-hitting defensive back he had earned in college.

He was named the assistant director of player performance in 2019 and was later promoted to running backs coach and co-special teams coordinator in 2020.
