Professional career

Denver Broncos

Chicago Bears

In 2006, he was signed to the Chicago Bears' practice squad where he spent the first 13 weeks of the season. On December 12, he was promoted to the active roster in order to bolster the safety position following injuries to Mike Brown and Todd Johnson. He was active in 3 games, but did not record any stats. The team would go on to play in Super Bowl XLI.[2] He was released on September 1, 2007.[3]

Minnesota Vikings

Edmonton Eskimos (CFL)
