Unrestricted free agent - New York Giants - 2009 Camp cut 2010
Spent one season in the Buccaneer backfield having been a key free agency signing in April 2009. Played as a back-up to Cadillac Williams and proved to be a decent receiver out of the backfield before being released in training camp the following year. Spent two seasons with Houston and then left the NFL for good. Was originally a 2005 7th round pick of the Jets but played four seasons with the Giants including having a 200-yard rushing game.
