Played three seasons with the Bucs having started every game at left guard as a rookie. Was a great run blocker and deservedly was named to every All-Rookie team in 2005. Lost his starting role in 2006 through injury and was then replaced for good by Arron Sears in 2007. Was traded to Chicago just prior to the start of the 2008 season for a low-round draft pick and appeared in 10 games for the Bears that year before disappearing from the NFL.
