His main contribution to the team however is as a kick/punt returner on special teams. He played at Boise State and was signed by the Raiders in 2005 as an undrafted free agent. He played in all 16 games in the 2005 NFL season for the Raiders, and had seven tackles, two assists and two pass deflections.
