Profile
Was the Bucs' punter for five seasons and also served as holder on fieldgoals and extra points. Was hurt in the 2009 pre-season and missed the entire year before being released the following spring. Became the franchise all-time leader in both punts and punt yardage during 2008. Had a magnificent 2005 season and was selected to the Pro Bowl, the first Buc specialist player ever to receive that honour. Was also named 2nd-team All-Pro. Had been the Packers’ punter for the previous four seasons after missing his 1999 rookie campaign on the non-football injury list. He was the first punter drafted in the 1998 NFL draft going in the 4th round (133rd overall pick).
Selected as the 98th Greatest player in Buccaneer history in 2007
