Career.
Before his NFL career, Breeden played for North Carolina Central University. After graduating college, he was selected by the Bengals in the seventh round of the 1977 NFL draft. He ended up missing the entire 1977 season on injured reserve, but in 1978, he became a starter and immediately made a big impact for
the Detroit Tigers as part of a 3-team trade. The Padres sent a player to be named later to the St. Louis Cardinals. The Tigers sent Bob Strampe and Dick Sharon to the Padres, and the Cardinals sent Alan Foster, Rich Folkers, and Sonny Siebert to the Padres. The Tigers sent Ed Brinkman to the Cardinals. The Padres completed the deal by sending Danny Breeden to the Cardinals on December 12, 1974.
