Born in San Diego, California, McEndoo played high school football in southwest Washington at Aberdeen. Selected in the seventh round of the 1998 NFL Draft,[1][2] McEndoo played one game for Seattle in his rookie season in 1998; he was released the following summer on September 5, 1999.[3][4]

Married for less than a month in 1996, McEndoo and his wife Michelle were passengers in a rollover accident in which she was killed. The vehicle was driven by teammate Ryan McShane, who apparently fell asleep. The three were returning to Pullman after attending a teammate's wedding in Tacoma, and occurred on Interstate 90, near Ellensburg.[5][6]
