Profile
After 13 seasons in the NFL, he is losing a step in speed but is on his way to the Hall of Fame. Went to the Pro Bowl in 2006 (his 10th) as an alternate and now heads the franchise all-time tackle list by a huge margin. Received the 2000 Walter Payton/NFL Man of the Year award for his off-the-field achievements. Recorded the second-longest play in franchise history with a 97-yard interception return against Baltimore in Week 2 of the 2002 season. Also scored in the Super Bowl when he returned an errant Rich Gannon pass for the Bucs' fifth touchdown of the game. Has started every game since 1996 and his only missed starts as a rookie came when the Bucs opened in a nickel defense.
Pro Bowl selection 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006.
Selected as the 2nd Greatest player in Buccaneer history in 2007.
