At Florida State, he won the Heisman Trophy, which is given to college football's best football player. He was then picked in the fourth round (106th overall) in the 2001 NFL Draft. Like many Heisman Trophy winners before him, he has had a less than stellar career in the NFL. He has played in only 21 games, none since 2002.
