Was with the Bucs for seven seasons but twice missed entire years through injury and his final season in 2009 was also curtailed. Played special teams and some nickel back making one start when the Bucs' opponents opened in a passing formation at home to New Orleans. Led the team in special teams' tackles in 2006 and was named as an alternate to the Pro Bowl in that category. Switched to 27 in 2005 to allow Cadillac Williams to keep his college number of 24.
