As a quarterback with Virginia Tech, Furrer became one of the top quarterbacks in school history and he is currently ranked third on the list of all-time career passing leaders for Virginia Tech. Finishing with a career record of 16-18-1, Furrer is, as of 2013, the last full-time starting quarterback to have a losing record for Virginia Tech.
He was one of only eight people to be named a national recipient of the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame Scholar Athlete Award in 1991, his senior year.
Furrer was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the fourth round of the 1992 NFL Draft. When he was drafted he was quoted as saying "One of my biggest problems will be trying to figure out whether to call Mike Singletary mister or sir".
Furrer was a partner with Tony Boselli and Jeff Novak in Intra Focus Marketing & Advertising with offices in Georgetown, Texas and Jacksonville, Florida. Prior to founding IF marketing & advertising, he was Director of Web Technologies for S1 Corporation.
