I am Long Antonio Cromartie

The Chargers have overcome a miserable 1-3 start to lock up the AFC West. One of the biggest stories of the year has been the rise of Antonio Cromartie, a second year defensive back who has really hit his stride. In his 11 starts he has ten interceptions, setting the single season interception mark for the Chargers. Perhaps more impressively, he has 3 more interceptions than any other player in the league and more interceptions than the entire Pittsburgh Steelers even though he has played 3 less games than everybody else. Part of that story is the amazing game Cromartie had against Peyton Manning, arguably one of the top 3 quarterbacks in the history of the NFL. In that game Cromartie had 3 interceptions in the first half, and had what is quite possibly the most athletic interception I have ever seen:


Despite being left off of the Pro Bowl ballot Cromartie was named to the Pro Bowl roster. All this from a guy who didn't play football for most of his last year in college due to a knee injury and as a result was largely unknown. Not too shabby . . . :
