Professional career

[edit]

Grant was selected by the Raiders in the third round of the2001 NFL draft and has played five years for them.^[1] Grant began his career as adefensive end before being converted to linebacker.

He played sparingly as arookie in 2001, before starting at left end for most of the Raiders'Super Bowl season in 2002. That season Delawrence was ranked top 10.

That offseason, he was released by the Raiders forsalary cap reasons, but was later re-signed. Due to an injury, he played only half the season in 2005, missing most of the middle portion.

One of the stranger aspects of Grant's star-crossed Raiders career is his continual switch in uniform number. He started out as No. 95, then switched to No. 99 when a more experienced player,Sam Adams, was signed and was issued the jersey. He then switched to No. 59 (the reverse of his prior No. 95) after moving to linebacker, since numbers in the 50s were thought of as linebackers' numbers.
