Profile
Returned to the Bucs as a free agent in 2004 and played primarily on special teams extending his team lead in that category over former TE Jim Obradovich. Was on IR for the entire 2005 season and then waived at the end of that season. Has also seen time at all three linebacker positions and made one start at middle linebacker when Shelton Quarles was injured. Made the team under Tony Dungy in 1996 as an undrafted free agent and went on to become a solid special teams player in his six seasons in Tampa Bay. Started one year at LB but never really good enough to hold down the position, Had a trade to St.Louis nulled through injury and came back to play the entire 2001 season with the Bucs again before being waived after the season in a cap-related move.
