Profile
Once again finished the season on Injured Reserve as a broken hand ended his 2009 campaign after just two games. Had been pencilled in for a switch to linebacker during pre-season but wound up at free safety before getting hurt. Replaced John Lynch at the starting strong safety in 2004 and has shown great leadership and ball-hawking skills when he has been able to stay on the field. One of the biggest hitters in the NFL but was released after the 2009 season.
