Football Player

The Resume

    (December 27, 1979- )
    Born and raised in Fresno, California
    Heisman Trophy winner (2002)
    Quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals (2003-2010) and Oakland Raiders
    NFL FedEx Air Player of the Year (2005)
    Pro Bowl Selection (2005)

Why he might be annoying:

    Despite being an NFL quarterback, he doesn't like the spotlight.
    He suffered a painful injury in the 2005-2006 AFC Wild Card Round after being hit below the knee by Kimo von Oelhoffen.
    He publicly stated in an interview following the injury 'I hate the Steelers more then I hate UCLA.'
    He sat out a good portion of the 2011 season until the Bengals traded him to the Raiders.
    The Bengals were so desperate to get rid of him that they acquired virtually nothing in return for him.

Why he might not be annoying:

    Unlike previous early Bengal draft picks, he welcomed the chance to play for them, believing he could help turn the team around.
    After his injury, he received a get well card from the city of Cincinnati, signed by over 500,000 people.
    He does charity work for abused and neglected children.
    He asked Bengals fans not to express anger towards von Oelhoffen, saying 'he didn't do it on purpose...is it a shame I couldn't play that game? Yes. But I know Kimo. I played with Kimo. He's not like that...he's not Bill Romanowski.'
    He made the Bengals a relevant franchise again during his tenure with the club.
