Early life and career beginnings

Crowder got an athletic scholarship at the University of Florida and played for the Florida Gators football team.

His college football performance was outstanding. In his freshman year, he started nine games, a record for a freshman linebacker in school history.

Crowder lined up many “firsts” in his college career, which put him on the radar for football onlookers and professionals. He was the first freshman in 2003 to start a game for the Florida Gators; he ranked first among linebackers and went down in history as the first true freshman linebacker to start since Travis Harris in 2000.

In 2004, Crowder became the team’s captain and received the Gator’s Outstanding Linebacker award.

During his two-year college career, he racked up most of his remarkable achievements, including ESPN first-team All-American, Associated Press first-team All-SEC, Coaches first-team All-SEC, Coaches second-team All-SEC, and Associated Press second-team All-SEC.

NFL career

Channing Crowder’s NFL career started when he got drafted in the 2005 NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins and was signed on a four-year contract. He got drafted in the third round as a 70th overall pick.

In his rookie season, he started 13 of the 16 games. His performance again made football headlines.

Together with cornerback Travis Daniels and running back Ronnie Brown, Crowder's 2005 season was marked as the first time two or more rookies started at least ten games in the Miami Dolphins after 1996.

He also ranked second place on the team with 90 tackles, the fifth-highest among NFL rookies in 2005 and the highest Dolphins rookie record after Zach Thomas’s 164 tackles in 1996.

In 2006, Crowder continued his remarkable performance. He recorded 114 tackles and finished second in the team, which marked his first 100-tackle career. Crowder also started all 16 games during the season.

However, in the game against the Minnesota Vikings, he sustained a nasty hip injury and was forced to end the game.
