He played college football for the Florida State Seminoles and was selected by the Indianapolis Colts in the third round of the 1995 NFL draft.

Perhaps one of his finer pro career moments came during the 1995 AFC Wildcard game, where he started in place of an injured Marshall Faulk.

During his final two seasons with the Colts, Crockett started 16 of 21 games played, accumulating a total of just 464 yards on 126 carries (3.64 YPC) and one touchdown.

That postseason, Crockett, by then regarded as a “short-yardage specialist”,[3] scored a touchdown during a 30–10 win over the New York Jets in the divisional round.
