T.J. Houshmandzadeh

T.J. Houshmandzadeh is a former NFL wide receiver. Remembered mostly for his time with the Cincinnati Bengals, Houshmandzadeh also played for the Seattle Seahawks, Baltimore Ravens, and Oakland Raiders. A 7th round draft pick out of Oregon State in 2001, Houshmandzadeh broke into the Bengals’ starting lineup in 2004, grabbing 73 receptions for 978 yards and four touchdowns. After an injury riddled 2005 season, Houshmandzadeh bounced back in 2006 with a career high in receptions, reception yards, and touchdowns. His success would continue into the 2007 season, where he set a Bengals record with 112 receptions, along with 1,143 yards and 12 touchdowns. This phenomenal season earned Houshmandzadeh his first and only Pro Bowl honors. After the 2008 season, Houshmandzadeh signed a five year contract with the Seattle Seahawks. His first season with the Seahawks would be his only full season, as he was released shortly into the 2010 season. After his release, he signed a one year deal with the Baltimore Ravens, and after a disappointing season in Baltimore, was not signed to a new deal. Houshmandzadeh would eventually end his career as an Oakland Raider in 2011, totaling 7,237 yards and 44 touchdowns over his 10 year career.
