Profile
Started the first eight games at right defensive end before injuries took their toll and was placed on IR in November. Was within striking distance of Lee Roy Selmon's franchise record for sacks of 78 when he was released just before the start of the 2007 training camp. Was one of the best pass rushers in the NFL when he joined the Bucs in a clever free agent contract move that enabled him to showcase his ability to play the run and the pass. Had two sacks and another on a two-point conversion in SuperBowl XXXVII and only narrowly lost the MVP vote to Dexter Jackson in the process.
Pro Bowl selection 2002 and 2003.
Selected as the 12th Greatest player in Buccaneer history in 2007.
