Curry began his NFL playing career as fourth overall pick of the 2009 draft out of Wake Forest by Seattle. He was a Seahawks front-line defender for the first three of his four pro seasons, starting 30 games for the Seahawks through October 2011 before being traded to Oakland. He started nine games for the Raiders the rest of that season, but began the '12 season on the PUP list before playing two more games for the Raiders and being released.

Curry spent the 2013 offseason as a member of the Giants but was released in August and retired as a player two days later.
