Professional career[]
Dallas Cowboys[]
After posting the fourth fastest 40-yard dash (4.32 seconds) at the scouting combine and falling in the 2008 NFL Draft because of probable character problems, the Dallas Cowboys traded that year's fifth and seventh round draft choices to the Seattle Seahawks, in order to move up in the fifth round to draft him. From the start as a rookie, he became the team's nickle back.
In 2011 he signed a contract extension with the Cowboys to play through 2015.
Personal life[]
He appeared in Bravo's Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles, Season 5 Episode 12 in which he enlisted the services of Josh Altman in purchasing a home in Los Angeles.
