intended for WR Samie Parker and returned it 46 yards for<br />
a touchdown, the final score of the game in the 33-22 win.<br />
Earlier in the quarter, had a 27-yard punt return that set up<br />
a 45-yard field goal for a 26-22 advantage. Also tackled RB<br />
Larry Johnson for a 1-yard loss in the third quarter…Vs.<br />
Minnesota (Nov. 11): With the Vikings in the red zone<br />
in the fourth quarter, picked off a Brooks Bollinger pass at<br />
the Green Bay 2-yard line, helping to preserve an eventual<br />
34-0 Green Bay win, the franchise’s first-ever shutout of<br />
Vikings…At Detroit (Nov. 22): Left the game with a toe<br />
injury, suffered during a first-quarter 34-yard punt return<br />
that was seemingly one block away from a score. Did not<br />
return to the contest and missed the next game at Dallas<br />
(Nov. 29)…Vs. Detroit (Dec. 30): Sat out to rest up for<br />
the playoffs, and went on to post six solo tackles and three<br />
passes defensed in the two postseason contests.<br />
2006<br />
Experienced what some might call a rebirth of his<br />
career, <strong>com</strong>ing to Green Bay as an unrestricted<br />
free agent and producing statistically his best season…Despite<br />
battling a painful shoulder injury much of the season,<br />
started all 16 contests at left cornerback and led the team<br />
in both interceptions (eight) and passes defensed (26),<br />
each a career best that topped his previous highs of five<br />
INTs and 21 passes defensed as a rookie in 1998 with Oakland…His<br />
26 passes broken up were the third-most ever<br />
recorded by a Packers player, behind Harris (28 in 2004)<br />
and Evans (27 in 1995)…The eight interceptions tied for<br />
first in the NFC and tied for third in the league, yet he was<br />
snubbed in Pro Bowl voting…Also served as his team’s<br />
primary punt returner for the first time since winning the<br />
Heisman Trophy at Michigan in 1997, returning 41 punts<br />
for 363 yards to easily eclipse the 12 <strong>NFL</strong> returns he had<br />
entering 2006…At Miami (Oct. 22): Led the team with<br />
four passes defensed. Picked off a Joey Harrington pass<br />
that bounced off the hands of tight end Randy McMichael<br />
and ran it back 23 yards for a touchdown, his third career<br />
score, but first since a 22-yard return of an Elvis Grbac INT,<br />
Nov. 28, 1999, vs. Kansas City (with Oakland); earlier in<br />
the game, came on a corner blitz and sacked Harrington,<br />
forcing a punt…At Seattle (Nov. 27): Notched the second<br />
two-interception game of his career (also at Chicago,<br />
Oct. 5, 2003) and with three passes defensed eclipsed 100<br />
career. On the Seahawks’ first drive, intercepted a Matt<br />
Hasselbeck pass deflected by Ryan Pickett to set up the<br />
Packers’ first TD. Notched his second Hasselbeck INT in the<br />
second quarter, stepping in front of a short pass intended<br />
for Deion Branch…At San Francisco (Dec. 10): Had a<br />
career-long 40-yard punt return, setting up a fourth-quarter<br />
field goal that iced the contest, plus his first kickoff return<br />
since his days at Michigan, when he had all three in his<br />
collegiate days in one game, a home loss to Penn State<br />
(Nov. 16, 1996). Also pounced on a Frank Gore fumble<br />
(his fifth career fumble recovery but his first since Nov. 28,<br />
2004, in an Oakland win at Denver)…Vs. Detroit (Dec.<br />
17): Recorded a career-high sixth interception, picking off<br />
a Kitna pass intended for Mike Furrey…Vs. Minnesota<br />
(Dec. 21): Made his seventh INT of the year, picking off a<br />
Tarvaris Jackson throw intended for Travis Taylor, returning<br />
it 14 yards; also had seven punt returns — tying for the<br />
second most in franchise history — for 48 yards, including<br />
a game-high 18-yard return…At Chicago (Dec. 31):<br />
Picked off a second-quarter Rex Grossman pass for his<br />
eighth INT of the year and his seventh individual takeaway<br />
over a six-game stretch.<br />
2005<br />
Started the Raiders’ first six games of the year<br />
before suffering a broken leg that sidelined<br />
him for the balance of the season…Was inactive for the<br />
subsequent nine contests before Oakland placed him on<br />
injured reserve Dec. 29…Finished with 31 tackles (27<br />
solo), one interception among four passes defensed, one<br />
forced fumble and three punt returns for 20 yards…Vs.<br />
Kansas City (Sept. 18): Opened at free safety, his only<br />
start of the season not at cornerback, and had a season-<br />
246<br />
high two passes defensed plus a forced fumble by Parker<br />
near midfield with five minutes left, positioning Oakland for<br />
a potential go-ahead touchdown…Vs. Dallas (Oct. 2):<br />
Had a second-quarter interception of Drew Bledsoe, plus<br />
five tackles…Vs. Buffalo (Oct. 23): Fractured his right<br />
lower leg late in the second quarter when he tackled RB<br />
Willis McGahee at the end of a 4-yard run.<br />
2004<br />
Played in Oakland’s first 13 games, starting 12,<br />
before being inactive for the final three contests<br />
due to a right knee injury…Had a (then) career-high 2½<br />
sacks among 74 total tackles (59 solo)…Also broke up<br />
nine passes, including one interception, forced a pair of<br />
fumbles, recovered another fumble and returned one punt<br />
for 4 yards…Vs. Buffalo (Sept. 19): Sacked Bledsoe<br />
for the first of two early-season sacks…Vs. Tampa Bay<br />
(Sept. 26): Got a sack for the second straight week, this<br />
one against Brad Johnson, forcing a fumble in the process…At<br />
Houston (Oct. 3): Had a season-high four<br />
passes defensed, along with 10 tackles to lead all defenders…At<br />
Carolina (Nov. 7): Played in a reserve capacity<br />
due to a hip problem…At Denver (Nov. 28): Recovered<br />
a Reuben Droughns fumble on the opening possession of<br />
the second half that led to a quick Raiders TD in a 25-24<br />
triumph…Vs. Kansas City (Dec. 5): Made a careerbest<br />
(and game-high) 13 tackles, including 12 solo. Also<br />
intercepted the Chiefs’ Trent Green inside Oakland territory<br />
in the second quarter to set up a Raiders TD.<br />
2003<br />
Started the Raiders’ first 15 games at cornerback,<br />
staying healthy throughout the year…Recorded<br />
70 tackles (56 solo), including one sack and one<br />
forced fumble…Also made three interceptions among eight<br />
passes defensed and recovered one fumble…Vs. Cincinnati<br />
(Sept. 14): Ended Bengals’ final threat with interception<br />
of Kitna in 23-20 victory…At Chicago (Oct. 5):<br />
Contributed two second-quarter turnovers leading to a pair<br />
of Raiders field goals, recovering a fumble by TE Desmond<br />
Clark and returning an interception of QB Kordell Stewart 51<br />
yards in final minute of first half. Later picked off Stewart on<br />
the Bears’ initial drive of the second half, giving him his first<br />
two-interception game as a professional…At Cleveland<br />
(Oct. 12): Forced a William Green fumble on the game’s<br />
opening possession, leading to a touchdown which ended<br />
up being the Raiders’ only points of the afternoon…Vs.<br />
N.Y. Jets (Nov. 9): Posted season-best eight tackles…<br />
Vs. Denver (Nov. 30): Matched that tackle total and<br />
added a sack of Jake Plummer…At San Diego (Dec.<br />
28): Was a healthy inactive.<br />
