The Resume

    (June 18, 1980- )
    San Diego Chargers (2003- )
    #85
    Broke Mike Ditka's single season record for touchdown catches by a tight end in 2004
    Attended Kent State University

Why he might be annoying:

    He never played college football.
    He has pierced ears.
    He wasn't good enough to make the NBA, so he turned to football.
    The San Diego Chargers suspended him from playing the 2005 season opener, for holding out and refusing to report to training camp.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He had immediate success, despite being an non-drafted rookie.
    He has been compared to Tony Gonzalez.
    He helped lead Kent State's basketball team to a surprise run at the Elite 8 in 2002, and helped the Chargers surprise division win in 2004.
    He isn't afraid to take big hits.
    He is a great vertical threat, and will make leaping catches.
