NFL wide receiver and return specialist who was drafted in the fourth round of the 2006 NFL Draft by the Denver Broncos.
He attended Akron College, where in 2005, he caught the Hail-Mary pass from Luke Getsy that won Akron its first MAC Championship in history.
He competed in two Super Bowls against the New England Patriots, XLII and XLVI, after signing with the New York Giants in 2007; the Giants were victorious in both games.

He was initially kept on the Giants bench because he was behind Victor Cruz in the line-up and Cruz was excelling as wide receiver for the team.
