Winslow, 25, was a first-round draft pick by the Cleveland Browns in 2004. During his rookie campaign, Winslow went down with a broken leg, just a mere two games into the season. He was expected to fully recover in time for the start of the following season, however, in May of 2005, Winslow was thrown from a street bike that he purchased while driving around a community college parking lot.

After two seasons of misfortunes, Winslow was finally able to live up to the first-round expectations, by recording 89 receptions for 875 yards with three touchdowns during the 2006 season. He then followed that up with an outstanding 82 catch season for 1,106 yards and five touchdowns. Last season, Winslow played in 10 games, but missed seven due to being hospitalized with a staph infection. He finished the season with 43 receptions for 428 yards and three touchdowns.

As we all know Kellen Winslow is a soldier, a crazy one, but a soldier nonetheless.
