Born: January 9, 1978
Miami, Florida.
When he was
drafted into the NFL, Chad said that his goal was to be in
the Pro Bowl four of his first five years. As a new NFL
player, Chad saw quite a bit of playing time, catching 28
passes for 329 yards and 1 touchdown. In 2003 he was named
to the Pro Bowl and has been in the Pro Bowl ever since.
When he was selected for his fourth Pro Bowl in 2006, Chad
accomplished his goal.
Fan voting for the 2006 Pro Bowl selected Chad as the most
popular wide receiver with 987,650 total votes.
Chad has earned nationwide attention for his flamboyant
attitude, which is often seen during end zone celebrations
after catching touchdown passes. He’s known for using props
like his pylon putt (for which he was fined $5,000) or
antics like pretend marriage proposals.
Chad currently
has an extended contract with the NFL that will last until
2011 and pay him an additional $35.5 million.
