Boss Bailey
http://www.yardbarker.com/m/10171/small/boss_bailey.jpg

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boss_Bailey

Rodney "Boss" Bailey (born October 14, 1979 in Folkston, Georgia) is an American football linebacker for the Denver Broncos of the National Football League. He was originally drafted by the Detroit Lions in the second round of the 2003 NFL Draft. He played college football at the University of Georgia.

He is the younger brother of Broncos cornerback and teammate Champ Bailey.

He received honorable mention All-America honors from USA Today at Charlton County High School in Folkston, Ga.

A first-team All-SEC selection as well as a semifinalist for the Butkus and Lombardi Awards as a senior, Bailey was a three-year starter at Georgia.

Bailey has appeared in 58 career games (51 starts), posting 265 tackles (204 solo), seven sacks (40.5 yds.) and two interceptions (32 yds.). He also has registered 13 pass breakups, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and seven special-teams tackles for his career.

He was named All-Rookie by ESPN.com and Football Digest with Detroit in 2003 when he set a career high with 88 tackles (77 solo) as a 16-game starter. After missing the 2004 season with a knee injury, Bailey started all 11 games played in 2005 and had 58 tackles, one sack and one interception, which he returned 34 yards for a touchdown. He started eight games at strongside linebacker and four contests at middle linebacker for the Lions in 2006, appearing in all 16 games and totaling 67 tackles (51 solo) with one sack that year. In 2007, Bailey posted a career-high 3.5 sacks (16.0 yds.) while adding 51 tackles (37 solo), two pass breakups and one forced fumble in 15 games (12 starts) at strongside linebacker for Detroit.

On March 6, 2008, Boss signed a five-year contract worth $17.5 million that includes $8 million in guarantees over the first two seasons. Performance in the last two years of the deal could make the total package worth $20.5 million.

The Baileys will be the third pair of brothers to play for the Broncos, and will join Dave and Doug Widell (1990-92) and Eldon and William Danenhauer (1960) as the only brothers to play for the franchise at the same time.

Champ Bailey
http://www.jacobin1.com/ChampBailey.jpg

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champ_Bailey

Roland "Champ" Bailey (born June 22, 1978 in Folkston, Georgia) is an American football player, starting at cornerback for the Denver Broncos of the National Football League. His mother nicknamed him "Champ" at an early age.[1] He played college football at the University of Georgia.

He is the older brother of Broncos linebacker and teammate Boss Bailey.

Bailey was regarded as one of college football’s greatest multiple threats (offense, defense and special teams) in his three seasons at the University of Georgia. During his final year at Georgia as a junior, he registered 52 tackles (four for losses), three interceptions, seven passes defensed, 47 catches for 744 yards (15.8 avg.), five touchdowns, 84 yards rushing on 16 carries, 12 kickoff returns for 261 yards and four punt returns for 49 yards. He averaged 103.5 all-purpose yards per game and logged 957 plays (547 defense, 301 offense and 109 special teams) on the way to earning consensus All-America and first-team All-Southeastern Conference honors and claiming the Bronko Nagurski Trophy as the nation’s top defensive player following his junior season. Against Virginia in the Peach Bowl, he caught three passes for 73 yards, including a 14-yard touchdown, rushed three times for nine yards, returned five kickoffs for 104 yards, returned a punt 12 yards, and posted two tackles and one pass defensed at cornerback. In three years at Georgia, he played 33 games (24 starts) and recorded 147 total tackles, two fumble recoveries, one forced fumble, eight interceptions and 27 passes defensed. He was an All-SEC first-team selection as a sophomore, starting every game at left cornerback and one game at wide receiver. Bailey set a school indoor long jump record in 1998 of 25-10 3/4 feet to finish third at the SEC Indoor Track and Field Championships.[2]

Bailey was drafted in the first round (seventh overall) of the 1999 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins. He was known as the first player ever drafted from his hometown of Folkston, Georgia, an achievement Bailey states was big for his town to increase its interest in football. He is universally considered one of the best corners in the NFL.

On July, 24, 1999, Bailey signed a five-year, $9.64 million contract including a $5.2 signing bonus. [3] Bailey's reputation as a shutdown corner was established at the professional level. He was a large presence on a defense that had its ups and downs. He benefited from time spent with iconic cornerbacks Deion Sanders and Darrell Green; both are considered among the best of all time. In tandem with Fred Smoot and the aforementioned greats, Champ helped establish a near legendary era of man-to-man coverage for the Redskins.

rior to the 2004 season, Bailey was traded to the Broncos along with a second-round draft pick (who ended up being Tatum Bell) for Clinton Portis. Following the trade, he signed a seven-year contract worth $63 million. Bailey has been named to eight consecutive Pro Bowls and four All-Pro teams.

On January 14, 2006 in a divisional playoff game between the New England Patriots, Bailey broke the record for the longest non-scoring play in NFL history. With the Patriots poised to score, Bailey intercepted a pass from Tom Brady in the end zone and returned it 100 yards to the one yard line, and fumbled the ball out of bounds, after being chased down and tackled out of bounds by Patriots tight end Benjamin Watson, who also went to Georgia. The Broncos scored a touchdown on the next play. The play was considered the most crucial of the contest, which the Broncos would go on to win, ending the Patriots' quest for a historic third straight Super Bowl title.

Against the defending NFC champion Seattle Seahawks on December 3, 2006, the Seahawks did not test Bailey once in the first half. The first time Matt Hasselbeck threw in Bailey’s direction, the cornerback intercepted a deep throw intended for Darrell Jackson.

Hasselbeck was not surprised saying in an interview following the game, "I've thrown him interceptions in my career, who hasn't? He's a great corner, a great cover guy and just a very, very talented guy."[citation needed]

In 2006, Bailey had ten interceptions through the season (tied for the NFL lead with Asante Samuel although Samuel went to the playoffs and intercepted two more passes which he returned for touchdowns). Bailey also did not give up a touchdown during the season. Bailey, San Diego Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson and Miami Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor, were unanimous choices for the NFL All-Pro team in 2006. Also in 2006, Ron Jaworski stated during a MNF pre-season game against the San Francisco 49ers that Bailey only got tested 35 times and only four passes were completed over him, none for touchdowns.

In an injury-plagued 2007 season, Bailey recorded 84 tackles, along with three interceptions. He was named to another Pro Bowl and received second-team All-Pro honors in 2007.

This is a very intriguing pick up to me. Baker played for a couple years at Penn State then one at Hampton. He was likely not drafted based on some personal issues versus talent, but he has a lot of potential in the league I think. Denver was apparently not very impressed with the draft class for defensive lineman although it was a major need and instead they think they found some options in the undrafted class. Baker is a big guy coming in at 6′2″ and around 326lbs. I expect him to battle Ron Fields and Carlton Powell for the NT spot now that Denver will be shifting to a 3-4 defensive scheme (at least in part…I expect a hybrid this year)

Tom Brandstater

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Brandstater

Thomas "Tom" Brandstater (born October 21, 1984 in Turlock, California) was the starting quarterback for the Fresno State Bulldogs college football team. After redshirting his freshman year in 2004, he played eight games as the backup to quarterback Paul Pinegar, going six for eighteen with a touchdown for the Bulldogs in 2005. He was named the starting quarterback for the 2006 Bulldogs team[1][2] and he led the 2007 Fresno State Bulldogs football team. He was drafted by the Denver Broncos with the first pick in the 6th round of the 2009 NFL Draft.

Tom Brandstater was born and raised in Turlock, California, a town in the Stanislaus County. He is the first son and second child of William and Sharen Brandstater and has three siblings. He began playing football at the age of eight with the Vikings of Turlock Youth Football,[3] a youth football program that he shared with several other WAC teammates and opponents, notably Colin Kaepernick of the Nevada Wolf Pack, and fellow Bulldog Anthony Harding. [3] He was the starting quarterback from the age of eight, but also played other positions.

Tom Brandstater attended Turlock High School in Turlock, California,[4] population 55,810, where he lists Mike Hibden and Mike Huber as his most influential youth coaches. He achieved several distinctions as a high school player, including being named to the First-team All District team by the Modesto Bee as a defensive back,[5] and guiding Turlock High to the Sac-Joaquin Section championship against Stockton Lincoln High. As a high school quarterback, he directed an offense that was primaliry focused on rushing and did not display his true passing ablility, though he still threw for over 1,000 yards in his last season in high school. He was the top quarterback in Fresno State's Summer Football Camp in 2003. [5]

2004 season

As a freshman, he was given a redshirt year so he did not play during the team's 2004 season. He served as the quarterback for the scout team in practice against the starting defense. During this time, he was officially listed as the number three quarterback behind Paul Pinegar and Jordan Chrisensen. [6] Brandstater did not play in any games during the season, as coach Pat Hill elected to keep him on the bench so that 2004 did not count as one of his four years of eligibility.[5]

[edit] 2005 season

After redshirting as a true freshman, Brandstater became the backup quarterback to Paul Pinegar in 2005, and was occasionally brought in by Coach Hill in late quarters of games where the Bulldogs had a blowout lead. In the season opener on September 10, 2005, he was brought in late against Weber State, completing 2 out of 4 attempts for 11 yards with a touchdown. He was also credited with a single rushing attempt, for a loss of two yards; this was to be his only rushing attempt of the season. [7] He did not play in the next game, a close away loss to Oregon, and was brought out late in the 44-14 home victory against Toledo, where he attempted a single pass, which went for an incompletion. [8] His next game was against Utah State, where he went 3 for 6 for 36 yards. He played his last game of the season in November against the San José State Spartans, where he completed a single pass for a two yard gain. As Pinegar's backup, Brandstater played in 8 games, completed 6 of 13 passes for 49 yards, with one touchdown and an interception.

[edit] 2006 season

The 2005 season ended with three losses, including a Liberty Bowl loss to Tulsa, along with a number of losses of senior leadership, including senior quarterback Paul Pinegar and running back Wendell Mathis, both of whom were 2nd in the WAC in passing efficiency and rushing yard per game, respectively. Offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti, who had led the Bulldogs to two consecutive top ten finishes in NCAA scoring offence in 2004 and 2005,[9] left for North Carolina, and was replaced for the 2006 season by Steve Hagen, the second offensive coordinator to work with Pinegar in as many seasons as a Bulldog. Fresno State opened the 2006 season at home against Nevada on September 1, 2006, and Brandstater passed for 124 yards with a touchdown in his first start with Fresno State, getting revenge for the upset loss the previous season and adding interest to the 83-year old rivalry. [10] The next week brought a home game against the Oregon Ducks on September 9, with Oregon entering the game ranked #20. Brandstater went 16 of 33 attempts for 150 yards, with a touchdown and two interceptions, as Fresno State lost to the Ducks on account of several special teams errors. [11]

The remainder of the season turned out to be problematic for the Bulldogs and Brandstater, as the team proceeded to lose the next six games, including a loss to Utah State. On October 14 against Hawaii, Coach Hill replaced Brandstater in the second quarter with his backup, Sean Norton, as the Bulldogs lost to the Warriors 68-37 at home. [12] In the next game against LSU, Brandstater did not play. [13] He returned to go 7 of 14 with 72 yards against Boise State, and proceeded to lead the Bulldogs to victories in the next three games against New Mexico State, Idaho, and Louisiana Tech. He started in the season finale at San José State, a loss, but the Bulldogs did end the season with some momentum heading into the 2007 season.

2007 Season om Brandstater led the 2007 Fresno State Bulldogs football team to a 9-4 season, capped by back-to-back victories over BCS opponents Kansas State and Georgia Tech in the Humanitarian Bowl.

[edit] 2008 Season

Going into the 2008 season, the Bulldogs have found themselves ranked in several national preseason polls, including Athlon, ranking the Bulldogs #25[14], CBS Sportsline ranking the team #24[15], ESPN, with the dogs #21[16], and Brandstater is returning for his senior year along with 17 returning starters[17]. Brandstater has been listed as a darkhorse Heisman Trophy candidate[18], and is rated number 6 out of 129 quarterbacks going into 2008 by nfldraftscout.com[19]. On July 17, 2008, the Tom O'Brien Watch List was released by the Davey O'Brien Foundation and its National Selection Committee highlighting 31 quarterbacks who will vie for the award honoring the nation's best quarterback for the 2008 football season, and Tom Brandstater was listed alongside other top prospects[20].

Tom Brandstater was the starting quarterback for the Fresno State Bulldogs as they opened their 2008 season against Rutgers in New Brunswick, New Jersey in a non-conference away game on Labor Day. Behind Brandstater, Fresno State opened the game slowly, with neither team scoring any points in the first half. The Fresno State offense was only able to muster 102 yards and six first downs in the first half, but the defense was able to keep the Scarlet Knights from getting any points on the board[21]. . The Bulldogs would go on to score three touchdowns and a field goal, with all three touchdowns run into the end zone by running back Ryan Mathews. Brandstater completed the game with 11 completions on 24 attempts for a total of 216 yards and a quarterback rating of 121.4[22].

Correll Buckhalter

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correll_Buckhalter

Correll Buckhalter (pronounced /core-ELL/) (born October 6, 1978 in Collins, Mississippi) is an American football running back for the Denver Broncos of the National Football League. He was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the fourth round of the 2001 NFL Draft. He played college football at Nebraska.

He is a cousin of Cleveland Browns cornerback Brandon McDonald.

Buckhalter attended Collins High School (Collins, Mississippi) and was a letterman in football. In football, he rushed for 3,024 yards over the last two years of his high school years. He was selected for the all-state team, and during his junior year when he rushed for 1,302 yards. During his senior year, he rushed for 1,722 yards and 12 touchdowns. Buckhalter graduated from Collins in 1996.

At the University of Nebraska, Buckhalter played in 46 games and finished ranked eighth in school history for rushing yards (2,522). He had 11 100+ yard games in college while starting only nine times and scored 27 touchdowns at Nebraska. He majored in sociology. He is officially a Stud.

Philadelphia Eagles

Buckhalter's NFL career has been marred by injuries. He missed the 2002 season due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and both the 2004 and 2005 seasons due to a torn patellar tendon in his right knee.

In his rookie season of 2001, Buckhalter showed flashes of the potential the Eagles saw when he was drafted. Sharing the load with Duce Staley, he rushed for 586 yards with 4.5 yards per carry average, breaking Keith Byars team record for rushing yards by a rookie. He scored two touchdowns that season. Unfortunately, that season he was also suspended for a game after he and two teammates were stopped by police and arrested for possession of marijuana. Buckhalter was not charged in the case.

Buckhalter would not return to the field again until the 2003 season. Teaming with Staley and second year Brian Westbrook, he led the team in rushing attempts and rushing touchdowns (eight) gaining 542 yards in the process. Again however, he was suspended by Coach Andy Reid after missing a team meeting.

While still recovering, Buckhalter and Bryan Scott made cameo appearances in the comedy movie, White Men Can't Rap.

The 2006 season marked his first action since the 2003 NFC Championship Game. He played in all 16 games, but started only once. His season totals included 345 rushing yards on 83 carries, 24 receptions, 256 receiving yards and three touchdowns.

After the season, Buckhalter was re-signed by the Eagles for two years.

In 2007, he has seen action at running back as well as kick returner. Through eight games he has 193 yards rushing and a 20.7 yards per return average. The Philadelphia Inquirer suggested that he may be replaced at returner by J. R. Reed.[1]

[edit] Denver Broncos

On February 27, 2009, as a free agent, Buckhalter signed with the Denver Broncos.[2] [3]

Buckhalter has had to deal with adversity over his career. His mother died when he was young and his brother Chris, who played on the Eagles practice squad in 1996, is serving a 20-year sentence for manslaughter.[4] In March 2009 prosecutors in a Philadelphia drug dealing case named Buckhalter as a celebrity client of the alleged dealer, Styles N. Beckles[5]. Buckhalter has not been charged with any crime and strongly denied any link to Beckles[6].

Ryan Clady

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_Clady

Ryan Clady (born September 6, 1986, in Rialto, California) is an American football offensive tackle for the Denver Broncos of the National Football League. He was drafted by the Broncos, with the 12th overall pick in the first round of the 2008 NFL Draft.[1] He played college football at Boise State.

Clady attended Eisenhower High School in Rialto, California and was a letterman in football. He was also a first team All-Citrus Belt League selection, a first team All-San Bernardino County selection and a first team All-California Interscholastic Federation Division I selection.

Clady graduated from Eisenhower High School in 2004. Considered only a two-star recruit by Rivals.com, he was not ranked among the nations top offensive tackle prospects.[2]

Clady redshirted as a freshman for the Boise State Broncos in 2004. He earned the starting right tackle position at the beginning of the 2005 season and started 11 of 13 games. He was voted to several dotcoms' second and third team All-American squads. He was moved to the left side before the 2006 campaign, starting all 13 games. Clady earned first team All-Western Athletic Conference (WAC) honors following his sophomore season and was also named to the prestigious SI.com second team All-American squad. In 2007, he started each game he played for Boise State and was once again a first team All-WAC selection. Clady also made several first team All-American rosters.

Clady was part of Boise State's historic 43-42 win over the Oklahoma Sooners in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl. In that game, many scouts first were able to see Clady on a national stage, and marveled at how well Clady handled Oklahoma pass rushers.

Clady drew comparisons to Chris Samuels.[3] He was selected by the Denver Broncos, with the 12th overall pick in the first round of the 2008 NFL Draft. The Broncos signed him to a five-year deal worth $14.75 million. It was reported to guarantee $11.5 million.

Following Week 12 of the 2008 NFL season, Peter King of Sports Illustrated said Clady was the third-best rookie overall.[5] On December 12, 2008, Clady won the Diet Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week award, after his game against the Kansas City Chiefs. That was the first time all season that a lineman, both offensively and defensively, won the award.[6]

Clady finished third in voting behind Matt Ryan and Chris Johnson for the 2008 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award.[7] He was the only offensive lineman to receive any votes. Clady started every game during the 2008 NFL season and gave up just a half of a sack while committing only three penalties.[8] He was the only starting NFL offensive lineman to give up less than one sack for the entire season. He was named to the Associated Press NFL All-Pro Second Team behind Michael Roos and Jordan Gross.[9]

Elvis Dumervil

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvis_Dumervil

Elvis Dumervil (born January 19, 1984, Miami, Florida) is an American football linebacker for the Denver Broncos of the National Football League. He was drafted by the Broncos in the 2006 NFL Draft in the 4th round. He played college football at Louisville.

Rated among the top 25 defensive ends by most publications, Dumervil had a Jackson High School, (Miami, Florida) record 78 career sacks.

His college career began slowly as a modest contributor during his first two seasons at the University of Louisville; he tallied just 28 tackles and two sacks. John L. Smith's staff had planned on redshirting him during the 2002 season, but injuries to other players and a lackluster performance by the defensive line forced him into the rotation.

He emerged during the 2004 season as a junior, recording 10 sacks and 11 tackles for a loss. His 2005 season was one of the best for a defensive end in both NCAA and school history, when he broke the NCAA single-game sack record (6) in a game against rival the University of Kentucky, and break the NCAA record for forced fumbles. His sack total also broke the Big East record set by Dwight Freeney, who was a player that Elvis desired to emulate. He won several awards for the 2005 season, including the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, the Ted Hendricks Award, Big East player of the year, and First-team All-American.

In the 2006 Gator Bowl, Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick intentionally stomped on the back of Dumervil's leg after a whistle. While no penalty was called, the backlash from this play (in combination with a misdemeanor charge for driving with a suspended license) led to Vick's permanent dismissal from the Virginia Tech football team. Vick claimed that he had apologized to Dumervil after the game, while Dumervil disputed that claim and stated that he didn't receive any kind of apology from Vick.

In college he was known for the "strip-sack" maneuver where he would sometimes strip the ball from ball carriers or quarterbacks.

Despite his collegiate success and comparisons to Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney, Dumervil was selected on the second day of the NFL draft due to concerns about his small size (5'11", 258 lbs), and the fact that he went without a sack in his final three collegiate games. This may have been due to his being consistently doubled teamed, but it was perceived by some as a sign of fatigue. Several teams considered moving him to linebacker or only using him in pass rushing situations.

Dumervil was drafted in the fourth round of the 2006 NFL Draft by the Denver Broncos. Broncos coach Mike Shanahan stated that he planned to keep Dumervil at defensive end.[1]

Early in his rookie season, Dumervil saw little playing time. However, his minutes increased as the season progressed and he finished the year with 8.5 sacks in 13 games. In the first game of the 2007 NFL season he would get the first interception of his career. Dumervil would go on to lead the Broncos, and finish among league leaders, with 12.5 sacks in 2007.

His half brother, Curry Burns, also played at the University of Louisville and was later drafted by the Houston Texans in the 2003 NFL Draft.

Goodman also excelled in track, setting personal bests of 10.5 seconds in the 100 meters and 22.4 in the 200 meters.

Goodman was a four-year letterman (1998-2001) at the University of South Carolina, where he started the final two seasons for the Gamecocks. During his collegiate career, Goodman totaled 86 tackles, four interceptions and 20 pass break-ups.

As a junior in 2000, Goodman started the first two games at free safety before moving to left cornerback. He registered 35 tackles (28 solo), returned an interception 71 yards and ranked second on the team with 11 pass deflections. In 2001, Goodman started the first eight games and final three games, including the Outback Bowl, at left cornerback as a senior. On the year, he amassed 43 tackles (36 solo), eight pass deflections and was tied for the team high with three interceptions.

Prior to the 2002 NFL Draft, Goodman ran an 4.36 40-yard dash.

Goodman was drafted by the Detroit Lions in the third round (68th overall) of the 2002 NFL Draft.

As a rookie in 2002, Goodman appeared in 14 regular season games including six starts. He missed the team's first two games with an ankle injury. On the year, he had 48 tackles, an interception, 12 passes defensed, a fumble recovery and six special teams tackles. He saw his first regular season against the Green Bay Packers on September 22, finishing with four tackles. He had a pass breakup in the end zone and five solo tackles, including one for a loss, in his first career start against the New Orleans Saints the following week. Against the Packers on November 10, Goodman registered two pass breakups and five tackles (four solo) before being forced out of the game with a thumb injury. The injury would force him to wear a cast on his right hand for the rest of the season. Nevertheless, during season finale against the Minnesota Vikings on December 29, Goodman had a career-high nine tackles and also recorded his first career interception on a pass from quarterback Daunte Culpepper.

Goodman started all three games in which he played in 2003, recording 13 tackles and four passes defensed. He suffered a dislocated shoulder against the Minnesota Vikings on September 21, and was placed on season-ending Injured Reserve four days later.

In 2004, Goodman started four of the 11 games in which he played. On the season, he had 23 tackles, an interception, three passes defensed and a forced fumble. He recorded his lone interception in the season opener against the Chicago Bears on September 12, picking off a Rex Grossman pass.

Against the Cincinnati Bengals on December 18, he intercepted a Carson Palmer pass and returned it a career-long 21 yards. He intercepted a Ben Roethlisberger throw in the season finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers on January 1, 2006.

After his rookie contract with the Lions expired following the 2005 season, Goodman became an unrestricted free agent. He visited with the Miami Dolphins on March 11 and officially signed with the team on March 13.

Ankle and knee injuries to Dolphins cornerback Travis Daniels allowed Goodman to see significant playing time throughout the season. Goodman started 13 of the 15 games in which he appeared in 2006, accumulating 41 tackles (26 solo), a forced fumble, two fumble recoveries and nine passes defensed. He recovered a Bo Scaife fumble against the Tennessee Titans on September 24 and Justin Gage fumble against the Chicago Bears on November 5. His lone forced fumble came against running back Maurice Jones-Drew and the Jacksonville Jaguars on December 3.

While he did not nab an interception on the year and the Dolphins' secondary struggled as a unit, Goodman was the team's most consistent downfield cover corner in 2006. He suffered a shoulder injury against the New York Jets on December 25, and was placed on season-ending Injured Reserve the following day. It would be the second time during the season a shoulder injury had permanently forced him out of a contest against the rival Jets, with the first such occasion taking place more than two months prior on October 15.

After the 2006 season, Goodman switched jersey numbers with fellow cornerback Travis Daniels. Goodman, who had worn No. 29 during his first season with the Dolphins, switched to No. 21 while Daniels took No. 29.

Goodman's shoulder problems from the previous year plagued him during the 2007 offseason. He underwent arthroscopic debridement on his left shoulder on January 18. After being unable to participate in the team's first May minicamp, Goodman underwent further tests and had more surgery on the shoulder on May 11. On July 23, he was placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list. He finished the season with 20 tackles and two interceptions in 13 games (four starts).

Goodman started all 16 games for the Dolphins in 2008, leading the team and setting a career high with five interceptions. He also recorded 39 tackles and a career-high 19 pass deflections during the season.

Andre Goodman had an game winning interception in 2008 off of the Denver Broncos Quarterback Jay Cutler.

Hill had a career-high five interceptions during his first season in 1998. He was an honorable mention All-Big Ten Conference selection the following year when he amassed 57 tackles, an interception and 13 passes defensed. His senior season in 2000, Hill was a second-team All-Big Ten performer in his when he posted 71 tackles, three interceptions and 11 passes defensed.

Hill was originally drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in the seventh round (202nd overall) in the 2001 NFL Draft. He played in 14 games in his rookie season, including one start, and recorded 22 tackles, three passes defensed and a half-sack. He added five special teams tackles. He had five tackles and the first half-sack of his career on a five-yard sack of Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb. Hill's first pro start came against the New York Giants on December 15. He was inactive for the final two games of the season with a hamstring injury.

In 2002 Hill appeared in 14 contests, including seven starts at cornerback, and missed two games with a foot injury. He posted 66 tackles, two interceptions, 10 passes defensed, a sack and two fumble recoveries on the year, while also contributing 11 stops on special teams. He collected a season-high 10 tackles against the San Diego Chargers when he came off bench in first quarter to replace an injured Duane Starks. Hill went on to start each of the next four games in Starks’ spot. In 16-13 win against the Carolina Panthers on October 6, he recovered a pair of Panthers fumbles - the first Cardinal to do that since Michael Bankston on October 17, 1993. Hill's first career interception came against the Dallas Cowboys on October 20 when he picked off a Quincy Carter pass in the end zone during Arizona’s 9-6 win. He recorded an eight-yard sack of Marc Bulger against the St. Louis Rams, which was the first full sack of his career. Hill also intercepted a Jeff Garcia pass in the fourth quarter against the San Francisco 49ers on December 21.

Hill started all 14 games in which he played at cornerback in 2003, posting 67 tackles, five interceptions for 119 yards in returns including a touchdown, seven passes defensed, two sacks and a forced fumble. His interception ranked second on the team behind only Dexter Jackson's six. Hill missed two games during the season with a sprained ankle.

During the season, Hill intercepted a pair of Marc Bulger passes in one game, including one returned 70 yards for a score. He also picked off Quincy Carter, Jon Kitna and Trent Dilfer during the season. His two sacks came against Bulger and Kitna.

Hill played in 13 games in 2004 with ten starts at cornerback, and was inactive for three contests in 2004. On the year, he collected 46 tackles, an interception, nine passes defensed, a sack and a forced fumble. His lone interception of the year occurred on October 24 against the Seattle Seahawks, as he picked off a Matt Hasselbeck pass in the Cardinals’ 25-17 victory. His only sack of the season came against then-Rams quarterback Chris Chandler.

As an unrestricted free agent in 2005, Hill signed a one-year contract with the Oakland Raiders. The deal included a base salary of $565,000 and a $25,000 signing bonus. It was also heavily based on incentives, which could have allowed Hill to earn as much as $1.4 million.

Hill played in all 16 games during his lone season with the Raiders, opening three games at free safety and ten contests as the nickel cornerback behind Charles Woodson and Nnamdi Asomugha. He recorded 86 tackles, an interception and five passes defensed on the year, while also tallying three special teams stops. His only interception of the year came against the Cleveland Browns on December 18 when he snared a Charlie Frye pass.

On March 16, 2006 Hill agreed to a three-year deal with the Miami Dolphins. The contract was worth $6 million and included a $2 million signing bonus. The move reunited him with then-Dolphins head coach Nick Saban, who was the head coach at Michigan State during Hill's first two seasons with the Spartans.

Thanks in part to the contract holdout of rookie defensive back Jason Allen, Hill was able to win the starting free safety job before the regular season began. He went on to start all 16 games for the Dolphins in 2006 and finished third on the team (behind linebackers Zach Thomas and Channing Crowder) with 83 tackles. Hill also had two interceptions, which tied him with Jason Taylor for the team lead, and a fumble recovery he returned for a touchdown. Hill picked off Detroit Lions quarterback Jon Kitna and Chicago Bears quarterback Rex Grossman during the season (both in wins by the Dolphins). He also returned a Chester Taylor fumble forced by Matt Roth 48 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter of a 24-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings.

During training camp, Hill initially lost his job to recently signed free agent Chris Crocker. Eventually, though the secondary was exposed during the first two weeks particularly in Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals, giving up pass plays of 50 or more yards. In Week 3, Hill got the free safety job once again, and it paid huge dividends as the secondary play became more solid and it also helped Miami earn its first victory of the season against the Patriots. Renaldo Hill also proved to be solid in run support, finishing with 74 tackles. He nabbed three interceptions.

An unrestricted free agent in the 2009 offseason, Hill signed a four-year, $10 million contract with the Denver Broncos on February 27, 2009.

Brandon Lloyd

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandon_Lloyd

Brandon Matthew Lloyd (born July 5, 1981 in Kansas City, Missouri) is an American football wide receiver for the Denver Broncos of the National Football League. He was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the fourth round of the 2003 NFL Draft. He played college football at Illinois.

Lloyd has also played for the Washington Redskins and Chicago Bears.

Lloyd attended Blue Springs High School in Blue Springs, Missouri and was a letterman in football, basketball, and track. In track he still holds a school record 7'2 high jump. In football, he was a three-time All-Suburban Big Eight honoree, and as a senior, he was also awarded All-Region by the Mo-Kan Magazine and was named an All-State honoree by the St.Louis Post-Dispatch.

Lloyd attended the University of Illinois beginning in 1999. After a promising freshman season, Lloyd missed all of the 2000 season with a broken femur (it was a non-football related injury - incorrectly stepping off a curb). He returned healthy and had outstanding seasons in both 2001 and 2002. He was a consensus First-Team All-Big Ten performer after his sophomore season in 2001, helping lead the Fighting Illini to a 10-2 record and a BCS berth in the Sugar Bowl. After his junior season in 2002, Lloyd declared his eligibility for the NFL Draft. He finished his college career having the second-most receiving yards (2,583) and touchdown catches (21) in Illinois history, and ranking third in all-time receptions (160).

Lloyd was drafted in the fourth round of the 2003 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers and blocked a punt during his first game against the Chicago Bears on September 7, 2003. On November 2, 2003, he caught his first touchdown pass against the St. Louis Rams. He finished the season with 14 receptions for 212 yards and two touchdowns. In 2004, Lloyd started and appeared in 13 games and finished the season with 43 catches for 565 yards and six touchdowns. During the 2005 season Lloyd started 16 games and posted NFL career-highs and team-highs in receptions (48) and receiving yards (733) and had five touchdown catches. In Week 3 vs. the Dallas Cowboys, he recorded four catches for 142 yards and two touchdowns, including a 89-yard touchdown catch.

On Saturday March 11, 2006, the San Francisco 49ers traded Lloyd to Washington Redskins in exchange for a third-round draft pick in the 2006 NFL Draft and a fourth-round pick in the 2007 NFL Draft. His first season is widely considered a failure, as he caught 23 passes for no touchdowns. According to Howard Bryant of the Washington Post, citing NFL.com, "Lloyd suffered through the worst season for a starting receiver in the Super Bowl era... No starting No. 2 wide receiver in the NFL started more games (12) while producing less (23 catches, 365 yards)."

Lloyd never made it out of Joe Gibbs doghouse, due to a questionable attitude and alleged poor work ethic. On Sunday, November 4, 2007, Lloyd was listed among Redskins inactives as the team traveled to play against the New York Jets. Citing the reason behind the move, Gibbs said that Lloyd had been told to remain behind in Washington as disciplinary action for missing important team meetings. Lloyd would spend the latter part of the 2007 season on injured reserve after having snapped his collar bone while making a diving touchdown catch during team practice.

On February 26, 2008, the Redskins released Lloyd, who caught only two passes for 14 yards for the 2007 season.

On March 7, 2008, Lloyd signed a one-year deal with the Chicago Bears after the release of Muhsin Muhammad and the loss of Bernard Berrian to free agency. The move reunited him with Bears offensive coordinator Ron Turner, who was Lloyd's head coach at Illinois. Lloyd had a successful start to his career in Chicago, establishing himself as a favorite target of quarterback Kyle Orton, with 15 catches in his first four games. An injury forced him to miss several weeks, and he fell out of favor with the coaching staff as a result.[1] He returned to the field in week 11, though didn't approach his early-season productivity until the Bears' final game of the season, where he caught four passes from Orton for 34.

Lloyd signed with the Denver Broncos on June 15, 2009.

Brandon Marshall

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandon_Marshall

Brandon Marshall (born March 23, 1984), nicknamed "The Beast,"[1] is an American football wide receiver for the Denver Broncos of the National Football League. He was selected by the Broncos out of the University of Central Florida, with the 119th overall pick in the fourth round of the 2006 NFL Draft.[2]

Marshall is known for his ability to break and dodge tackles.[3] He led all NFL wide receivers in yards after first contact for the 2007 NFL season.[2] Regarding Marshall's breakaway ability, Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Brandon Flowers said, "Brandon Marshall is a defensive lineman playing wide receiver. He wants to inflict punishment on you. He wants you to try to tackle him so he can shove you off of him and get more yards."[3] Oakland Raiders cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha said Marshall is "the toughest guy to bring down, one-on-one."

Marshall was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.[2] He later lived in Georgia, then moved to Florida, where he played high school football at Lake Howell High School.[5] Marshall played both offense and defense, as he earned All-State honors and was named Seminole County Utility Player of the Year. He also lettered in basketball and track three times. As a senior, Marshall won the Class 3A state triple jump championship, landing a jump of 48-feet, six-and-three-quarter inches.

Marshall played a total of 44 games (21 starts) at wide receiver for the University of Central Florida, collecting 112 receptions, 1,674 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns in his collegiate career.[2] His best season came in 2005 as a senior. He played in 13 games and had career highs in receptions (74), receiving yards (1,195) and touchdowns (11). Marshall's best career game came in the 2005 Hawaii Bowl, where he had 11 catches for 210 yards and three touchdowns.[6] He was named MVP of the game. For his efforts during the 2005 season, Marshall was selected to the All-C-USA second team.[2]

Marshall also started at safety for seven games during the 2004 season due to injuries in UCF's secondary. He made his first collegiate start at safety on October 4, 2004, against Buffalo.[7] He recorded four tackles, including a half of a sack. Marshall led his entire team in tackles (51) during the 2004 season.[7] He also had an interception and a forced fumble.

The Denver Broncos selected Marshall with the 119th overall selection in the fourth round of the 2006 NFL Draft.[2] Before the regular season even began, Marshall suffered a slight tear to his PCL in a pre-season game against the Detroit Lions.[8] Although the injury sidelined him for a couple of weeks, he was able to return and play 15 games (1 start) during the regular season. Marshall had a total of 20 catches, 309 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns for his rookie year. He caught a pass in each of the Broncos' final seven games of the season, totaling 18 receptions, 287 receiving yards and 1 touchdown over that stretch.[2] The lone touchdown came during a NBC Sunday Night Football home game against the Seattle Seahawks on December 3, 2006. In that game, Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler (who was making his NFL regular season debut as a rookie) threw a pass to Marshall on the right side of the field. Marshall broke and spun away from three tackles on his way to a career-high 71-yard touchdown. It was the second longest rookie-to-rookie pass play in Broncos history.

Marshall sustained injuries before the start of the 2007 season. He suffered a groin strain that kept him out of Broncos quarterback camp and team camp during May and June. He also pulled a quadriceps femoris muscle on July 10, 2007, during Broncos mini-camp.[9] The injury left him out for nearly all of training camp until Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan ordered him to participate for the last couple of days.[10]

On December 13, 2007, in a Thursday night road loss against the Houston Texans, Marshall caught 11 passes for 107 yards.[11] Nine of those receptions occurred in the first half. Marshall became the only wide receiver in Broncos history to have at least 10 receptions in two consecutive games.[12] On Christmas Eve, 2007, in a Monday night road loss to the San Diego Chargers, Marshall caught six passes for 75 yards.[13] The six receptions in the game gave Marshall 92 total catches on the season up to that point, making him only the fifth wide receiver in NFL history (Lionel Taylor, Sterling Sharpe, Isaac Bruce and Larry Fitzgerald are the others) to have at least 90 receptions in their second season.[14] On December 30, 2007, in a Sunday home win against the Minnesota Vikings, Marshall caught 10 passes for 114 yards and a touchdown.[15] The 10 catches gave Marshall 102 total receptions for the year - his first career 100-catch season. He became only the third second-year player in NFL history to have at least 100 receptions in a season, joining Bruce and Fitzgerald.[15]

During the 2007 season, Marshall posted team-highs and career-highs in receptions (102), receiving yards (1,325) and receiving touchdowns (7).[2] His 100-reception and 1,000-yard season were each the first of his career. Marshall reached the 1,000-yard milestone during the 13th game of the season, which was a 41-7 home win over the Kansas City Chiefs. In the game, Marshall had 10 catches for 115 yards and 2 touchdowns.[16] Among all of the wide receivers in the NFL during the season, Marshall placed fifth in receptions (102), sixth in receiving yards (1,325), second in yards after the catch (505), first in yards after first contact (319), first in number of times targeted (170) and tied for fourth in catches that led to first downs (70).[2][17]

Following the 2007 season, Marshall, Cutler and Tony Scheffler went to Atlanta, Georgia together to train and work on timing for the 2008 season.

On March 22, 2008, Marshall slipped on an empty McDonald's bag while wrestling with family members, and subsequently, fell through a television set at his home in Orlando, Florida - cutting his right forearm.[19][20][21] According to Broncos head athletic trainer Steve Antonopulos, Marshall "sustained right forearm lacerations to one artery, one vein, one nerve, two tendons and three muscles."[21] He was treated at a local hospital and later released after needing a cast and several stitches. In early April, Marshall had the cast removed from his surgically repaired right forearm and was in a sling until May.[22] He was cleared in late-June to practice with the Broncos.[23] He later revealed that his right hand was numb during the entire 2008 season.[24]

Marshall officially received a three-game suspension from the NFL on August 5, 2008, due to his off-the-field issues.[25] He appealed the decision and won the appeal, reducing the punishment to a one-game suspension and a fine of two combined game checks, which totaled $52,353.[26]

In Marshall's first game back from suspension, he caught 18 passes for 166 yards and a touchdown, as part of a 39-38 home victory over the San Diego Chargers.[27] The 18 receptions were a Broncos single-game record, and tied for the second most in NFL history, trailing only Terrell Owens, who caught 20 passes for the San Francisco 49ers in a game during the 2000 NFL season. Marshall's 18 receptions gave him 55 total receptions over five games, which is an NFL record.[2] He is the first receiver in NFL history to register at least 10 receptions in four out of five games.[2][28] His performance against the Chargers also earned him AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors for the first time in his career.[29]

Marshall received attention for an attempted touchdown celebration during the Broncos' 34-30 comeback road victory over the Cleveland Browns, as part of a Thursday Night Football matchup on November 6, 2008.[30] With over a minute left in the game, Marshall caught the go-ahead touchdown pass and then began to pull a glove from his pants. Denver wide receiver Brandon Stokley rushed over to Marshall to urge him to put the glove away, as it could be considered a touchdown celebration prop, which is against NFL rules (a 15-yard penalty on the kickoff could be assessed).[30] Marshall later explained that he was intending to put on the glove (which was white with one half of it painted black) as a means to honor racial progress and unity in the United States, following the country electing Barack Obama as President.[31] The U.S. presidential election came two days before the Broncos game against the Browns. Regarding the attempted touchdown celebration, Marshall said, "I know at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico, Tommie Smith and John Carlos raised that black glove and that fist as a silent gesture of black power and liberation. Forty years later, I wanted to make my own statement. I wanted to make my own statement and gesture to represent the progress we made."[31] Smith and Carlos didn't initially see Marshall's attempted gesture when it happened live, but both said they appreciated and understood Marshall's intent.[32] "He wanted to make a mark in history and feel that he was a part of the change for the better," Smith said. "He had the right idea in terms of what he was attempting to do," Carlos said.[32]

On December 7, 2008, in the 13th game of the season, Marshall caught 11 passes for 91 yards and two touchdowns, as part of a 24-17 home victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.[33] The 91 yards gave him over 1,000 receiving yards for the second consecutive season.[2] Marshall had his second career multi-touchdown game as well;[33] the first also occurred in a home victory over the Chiefs in the 13th game of the prior season. That game was also where Marshall eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards for a season for the first time in his career.[2][16]

Marshall finished the season ranked third among NFL wide receivers in receptions (104), seventh in receiving yards (1,265), fifth in receiving yards per game (84.3), seventh in yards after the catch (419), third in catches that led to first downs (65) and first in number of times targeted for the second consecutive season (181).[34] The 104 catches were a career-high for Marshall and also made him only the ninth player in NFL history (second Broncos player) to have at least 100 receptions in back-to-back seasons.[35] He finished first in fan voting for AFC wide receivers in the 2009 Pro Bowl.[36] He received 18 more votes than Randy Moss to proclaim the top spot. Four wide receivers are chosen to play in the game. Fan voting accounts for one-third of the total voting (players and coaches account for the other two-thirds). He was officially picked to play in his first Pro Bowl when selections were announced on December 16, 2008. Marshall was chosen as a starter.

Marshall had hip surgery on March 31, 2009, to repair an aggravated hip that bothered him during the 2008 season.[38] His recovery time is expected to last until training camp in late-July.

Marshall enjoys restoring vintage automobiles.[2] He is a member of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity and does charity work with them. He is involved in an ongoing effort to rebuild Larimer Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

According to Orlando-Orange County public records (case 48-2004-MM-012392-O), on Halloween 2004, while a student at UCF, Marshall was arrested in Orlando on charges of assault on a law enforcement officer, refusal to obey, disorderly conduct and resisting an officer.[39]

On January 1, 2007, Marshall was present at "The Shelter," a nightclub in Denver, Colorado, along with teammates Javon Walker and Darrent Williams. The trio was attending a birthday party held for and by Denver Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin. As the players were leaving the club in a limousine, Williams was fatally shot in the neck after an unknown assailant opened fire on the vehicle. Willie Clark was later charged with the murder.[40] Walker has stated in interviews that the shooter was likely a nightclub patron whose motive was retaliation after being involved in an altercation with Marshall's cousin earlier that night.[41]

On March 26, 2007, Marshall was arrested in the Highlands Ranch suburb of Denver on suspicion of domestic violence after his girlfriend reported that following a domestic dispute, Marshall prevented a taxi she was in from leaving his house.[42] Charges from the incident were later dismissed on May 25, 2007, after Marshall completed anger management counseling.[43]

In the early morning of October 22, 2007, Marshall was arrested in the Denver-Aurora metropolitan area at the intersection of 14th and Blake St. for driving under the influence of alcohol.[44] A trial was scheduled for September 16, but Marshall instead agreed to a plea bargain four days earlier; he pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of driving while ability impaired.[45] He was sentenced to one-year probation and 24 hours of community service.

On June 12, 2008, Marshall was ticketed for an illegal lane change, then found to be without his license and proof of insurance.[46] The case was eventually dropped as part of a plea bargain for the October 22, 2007 driving incident involving alcohol.[45]

According to an article published in the Rocky Mountain News on July 28, 2008, Douglas County deputies fielded "about 11" calls to Marshall's home since January 2006. The article stated that one call resulted in Marshall being arrested (the March 26, 2007 domestic dispute), and some did not involve him at all.[47]

A September 17, 2008 article on CompleteColorado.com stated that the solicitor's office in Fulton County, Georgia filed misdemeanor battery charges on September 10 for an alleged incident on March 4, 2008, in Atlanta, Georgia. Marshall was booked on March 6, then released the next day after posting a $1,000 cash bond.[48] The case was assigned to Judge John Mather in Georgia state court. An email from Judge Mather's office to CompleteColorado.com indicated that no court date had been set, but that the date would likely be in November or December.[49]

On March 1, 2009, Marshall was arrested in Atlanta for disorderly conduct after allegedly being involved in a fight with his fiancee, Michi Nogami-Campbell. Marshall was released on a $300 bond.[50] The charges were dropped the following day
