He was considered one of the rising talents in the league in 2007, when he was an All-Pro in his second season. Cromartie has st |

Originally selected by the New York Jets in the third round of the 2000 draft, the Florida State product has totaled 674 catches for 8,609 yards and 49 touchdowns for the Jets, Redskins and Bengals. |
