He was drafted by the Texans in the sixth round of the 2013 NFL Draft. He played college football at San Jose State. On June 10, 2014, he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins T Lymphoblastic Lymphoma at the age of 23.
Born in the La Jolla community of San Diego, David Quessenberry attended La Costa Canyon High School in Carlsbad, California and lettered in football and lacrosse. Quessenberry played tight end at La Costa Canyon. His father played college football at the United States Naval Academy and served in the United States Navy from 1980 to 2010.
Having no scholarship offers out of high school, Quessenberry met a San Jose State assistant coach who was recruiting a teammate. Quessenberry later walked-on to the Spartans football team at San Jose State University in 2008 and redshirted that year to bulk up from his 235-pound weight. He would go on to play in 50 games for the Spartans with 38 starts. As a freshman in 2009 under coach Dick Tomey, Quessenberry played in all 12 games mostly on special teams and was a reserve at offensive tackle and tight end.
