He was also a jumper and sprinter for the Pine Forest track team, and was a standout in the long jump and triple jump, posting personal marks of 7.21 meters and 14.68 meters, respectively. In addition, he competed in the 200 meters, recording a personal best of 22.08 seconds.

Indianapolis Colts

Purifoy's problems off the field may have contributed to a slip from a late draft pick to an undrafted free agent. On May 12, 2014, it was announced that the Indianapolis Colts agreed to terms with Purifoy.[4] Purifoy went into the preseason with a competition with fellow cornerback Marcus Burley. Both performed well and cutting either would be difficult, so the Colts traded Burley to the Seattle Seahawks for a 6th round draft pick.[5] The Colts kept Purifoy and was on their initial 53-man roster.[6] He was waived on November 27.[7]

Seattle Seahawks

Purifoy was claimed off waivers by the Seattle Seahawks on November 28, 2014, but was waived after a failed physical on December 1, 2014.[8][9]

Whilst a free agent Loucheiz Purifoy was suspended by the NFL for the first 10 weeks of the 2015 season, most likely for violating the substance abuse policy.[10]

BC Lions

On March 21, 2016 Purifoy signed a contract with the BC Lions of the Canadian Football League.[11]
