Abraham played at East Tennessee State University from 1991-95, earning first-team All-Southern Conference honors in 1995. He earned a bachelor's degree in business management from ETSU in 1996 and was drafted in the third round of the 1996 NFL Draft by Tampa Bay (71st overall).

A native of Orangeburg, South Carolina, Abraham, and his wife, Tunisia, were married in 1997. They have three children Devin (20), Alivia (17), and Micah (16).
