Has 16� sacks in 17 career Monday Night Football contests
In 2004, became the first Packers player to post double-digit sacks in four consecutive seasons
Made the initial Pro Bowl appearance of his career following the 2003 season. In doing so, he became the first Green Bay defensive lineman to play in the league's annual all-star contest since White did so in 1998
While in high school, was one of 40 student-owners of the nation's first student-run natural food company, 'Food from the 'Hood,' which provided South Central Los Angeles with high-quality organic produce. Appeared on the cover of Newsweek magazine as a 17-year-old in recognition of the group's efforts

Pro Summary

Now entering his ninth season, the franchise's new all-time sack leader returned to the pass-rush specialist role in 2007 that launched his NFL career and thrived, posting his highest sack total in three seasons
His 9� sacks pushed his career total to 74, moving him past Reggie White (68�) as Green Bay's all-time leader, and nearly gave him his fifth double-digit sack season
Still remains tied with White in team annals with four seasons of 10-or-more sacks, and has the most three-sack games (five) in team history
Has sacked 40 different QBs in his career, has 17 multi-sack games in his career (adding four in 2007) and has 16� sacks in 17 career Monday Night Football games
After nearly five full seasons as a starter at defensive end, was relegated to passing downs in the final three games of 2006 and handled the demotion like the true pro that he is
Was replaced as the starter by Cullen Jenkins in an effort to bolster the team's run defense and also keep the cat-quick speed rusher known as 'KGB' fresher for passing situations
Enters 2008 with 363 career tackles (236 solo) and bids to lead the Packers in sacks for a sixth time, which would break a second-place tie with Tim Harris and White and match Ezra Johnson at the top of that list
Had his five consecutive seasons leading the team, tied with Harris (1986-90) for the longest streak in team history, snapped by Aaron Kampman's breakout year in 2006
Also proven to be durable, having appeared in 115 of 117 games (123 of 125 including playoffs) dating back to November 2000 (his rookie season)
The second missed game came this past season at Dallas (Nov. 29) due to an ankle injury, snapping a string of 87 straight games played (91 including playoffs)
In 2004, moved past the 50-sack milestone (50�) and, with 49 sacks from 2001-04, established a club mark for most sacks over four straight seasons (Harris, 48, 1986-89)
Also became the first Green Bay player to record double-digit sack totals four years in a row.
Rose from the ranks of the practice squad as a 2000 rookie to Pro Bowl status in 2003 - a transformation originated through collective hours spent on the field after practice on an almost-daily basis, working with coaches to hone his pass-rushing moves, and further spurred by extra time in the film room, watching tapes of his opponents
Demonstrated in 2003 that, despite being in the 250-pound range, he was equipped to play on first, second and third down
He led Green Bay's defensive linemen with 55 tackles in 2003, and was second both in 2004 (52) and '05 (career-high 81)
Began his professional career in 2000 somewhat auspiciously, being released in training camp, followed by a six-week stint on the Green Bay practice squad (available to any NFL team in both instances), and subsequently assuming a role as a situational pass rusher and special teams player
Emerged as a top-line pass rusher the following season (2001), being used mainly on passing downs
Further expanded his responsibilities early in the 2002 campaign, when he took over the right defensive end position for the final 11 games after Joe Johnson suffered a season-ending triceps injury
Did so well as Johnson's replacement that he entered the 2003 season as the Packers' designated starter
His value to the team was further recognized that year when, as a restricted free agent following the '02 season, he was signed to a seven-year contract by Green Bay on April 3, 2003
Has one of the biggest hearts of anyone on the current Packers team, a trait that translates into him being one of the most community-minded players, regularly speaking to a multitude of area school, youth and civic groups
Brother, Akbar, previously his teammate at San Diego State, spent his first three NFL seasons with the Raiders, making the Oakland roster as a non-drafted free agent in 2003

2007 Season

At New York (Sept. 16), did not have a sack, but the coaching staff credited him with six pressures and five hits on the quarterback, to go along with three tackles
Vs. San Diego (Sept. 23), made his first sacks of the season, adding a forced fumble. Took down Philip Rivers in the second quarter for an 8-yard loss, leading to a punt two plays later. On a third-and-9 in the fourth quarter, halted a Chargers drive by stripping the ball from Rivers, earning � sack (split with Kampman) and a forced fumble (recovered by San Diego)
Made his first start of the season at Minnesota (Sept. 30) and had a season-high three sacks (his franchise-best fifth career three-sack game), plus a forced fumble and a pass defensed. In the third quarter, sacked Kelly Holcomb for a 7-yard loss on third-and-3 and stripped the ball (recovered by Minnesota); Vikings kicked a FG on the next play. Took down Holcomb twice in the fourth quarter, marking his second multiple-sack performance in two games. His second fourth-quarter sack (credited after an Elias Sports Bureau review) gave him Green Bay's franchise record
At Denver (Oct. 29), tackled RB Selvin Young for a 3-yard loss in the first quarter
At Kansas City (Nov. 4), posted two sacks among three total tackles. In the fourth quarter, sacked Damon Huard for a 7-yard loss on second down, forcing a third-and-long and subsequent punt. On the last play of the game, sacked Huard for a 16-yard loss

Finished fourth on the team with six sacks, among 63 tackles (44 solo) and two forced fumbles
Notched his first 2006 sack and forced fumble, vs. New Orleans (Sept. 17), ending a first-quarter drive after battling past tackle Jammal Brown, a Pro Bowl starter, and stripping the ball from Drew Brees (recovered by Jenkins); the Packers cashed in the takeaway for a field goal
At Seattle (Nov. 27), knocked the ball loose from Matt Hasselbeck (credited with forced fumble and sack); teammate Abdul Hodge recovered the ball in mid-air and returned it for a 29-yard TD and a 14-9 Packers lead
That sack gave him 16� in his 16 career games on Monday Night Football; since the Elias Sports Bureau began officially charting sacks in 1982, was the only player (min. 10 games) who had averaged at least one sack per game on Monday night (now has 16� sacks in 17 MNF games, following 2007)
In his 100th career game, played primarily as a pass-rusher vs. Detroit (Dec. 17), with Jenkins getting the start at right defensive end, ending a starting streak of 37 games that dated back to Oct. 31, 2004, at Washington

Against Jacksonville (Dec. 19), contributed a sack along with a forced fumble, when he came from the right and hit Byron Leftwich on his blind side, causing the Jaguars QB to fumble before he could get his throwing arm moving forward; Jacksonville guard Vince Manuwai nonchalantly picked up the loose ball, but Packers safety Darren Sharper swatted it away and returned it 15 yards for a TD to give the Packers a 10-7 lead in the second quarter

Exploded for three sacks in Monday night victory at Oakland (Dec. 22), twice dropping Rick Mirer before picking up a fourth-quarter sack of Rob Johnson to give him double-digit sacks on the year
Cited Raiders contest as one of the most emotional games of his career because he faced his brother, Akbar, then a rookie with Oakland, for the first time as an opponent (the two had been teammates in college) only weeks after the one-year anniversary of their mother's death (Dec. 1, 2002); further compounding his emotions that night, he said, was the death of Brett Favre's father the day before
