Was on his way to a second straight Pro Bowl season in 2009 when he suffered a second concussion on special teams and was
placed on Injured Reserve. Led the Bucs in all-time kick return average and had both a kick and punt return score to his credit in
his brief NFL career. Was released in the final cutdown in 2010 training camp having suffered injury problems throughout the pre-
season and went on to play briefly for Cleveland and Miami before leaving the NFL for good. Was the rags-to-riches story of all-
time in 2008 for the Buccaneers as he was promoted from the practice squad at mid-season and ended up in the Pro Bowl.
