Chris Crocker - S - Cincinnati Bengals

Chris Crocker (not to be confused with the crackpot Britney Spears fan of The Soup infamy) signed with the Cincinnati Bengals as a free agent on October 30, 2008.

Crocker entered the NFL as the third-round draft choice of the Cleveland Browns in 2003 out of Marshall and played for the Browns through 2005. So given that he has now played for both the Browns and the Bengals, wearing The Number maybe the highlight of his career.

Crocker did get his head in the game in the fourth quarter, sacking Donovan McNabb. Crocker ended the game with a respectable, Number-inspired four tackles, one sack and one interception.
