Forsett was selected in the seventh round of the 2008 NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks. Though he showed promise during the preseason—scoring a touchdown against the Chicago Bears—he was waived shortly before the regular season began. He was briefly claimed by the Indianapolis Colts before returning to the Seahawks, initially as a member of their practice squad.
Forsett scored his first regular-season touchdown with Seattle on a long run against the Arizona Cardinals and compiled 523 rushing yards and two touchdowns in the 2010 season. Following the expiration of his contract in 2011, he joined the Houston Texans in 2012. That season, he delivered a highlight-worthy 81-yard touchdown against the Detroit Lions. In 2013, Forsett signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars but was sidelined for most of the season due to a foot injury.
Forsett revived his career in 2014 after signing a one-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens. He quickly became a key player, rushing for 1,266 yards and eight touchdowns that season. His standout performance included a 52-yard run against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, helping the Ravens secure a dominant 48–17 victory. His contributions earned him a three-year, $9 million contract extension with the Ravens in 2015. Unfortunately, Forsett's season was cut short that year due to a broken arm. He was subsequently placed on injured reserve.
Outside of football, Justin Forsett enjoys photography and video gaming. During his high school years, he earned the nickname “The Truth” for his authentic style and undeniable talent. He cites Hall of Fame defensive end Reggie White as one of his greatest inspirations.
Forsett is married to Angela Forsett, and the couple has two children: a son named Zion and a daughter named Judah. Known for his strong personal values and leadership both on and off the field, Forsett remains a respected figure in the football community.
