Pro Experience
Cleveland Browns (2000-present )

2002: Found a single position to play and responded well, starting each game at right defensive tackle... Registered 76 tackles for the season... Was only credited with half a sack, but picked the right games to excel: Roye nailed eleven tackles twice during the season, both times against Pittsburgh.
2001: Bounced back-and-forth between sides of the line and from tackle to defensive end, resulting in a sub-par season... Wound up with 34 tackles and one interception on the year...
