Profile
Spent eight seasons in Tampa primarily as a punt returner before moving on to wind down his NFL days in Arizona. Became the franchise leader for receiver appearances in 2002 when he surpassed Gerald Carter. The Bucs have only returned seven punts for TDs in franchise history and "The Truth" has four of them, the final one coming in Week 2 of the 2002 season against the Ravens. Made the team as an undrafted free agent in 1996 and saw extensive playing time as a receiver from then on.
Selected as the 25th Greatest player in Buccaneer history in 2007.
