An undrafted free agent out of Northwestern, where he was a team captain and All-Big Ten Honorable Mention selection, Ulrich spent the 2005 and 2006 seasons with Indianapolis, winning a Super Bowl in his second campaign.
Overall, he appeared in 10 regular season games and one postseason game in a reserve role with the Colts.Â
After football, Ulrich cofounded DexaFit LLC, a brand of body fat and metabolic test centers nationwide. He was also a managing director and partner of Profitable Ideas Exchange.
