Henry James Melton (born October 11, 1986) is an American former professional football player who was a defensive end in the National Football League (NFL).

2003

He earned All-District (5-5A) honors as a junior while rushing for over 800 yards and 12 TDs and averaged 6.2 yards per carry in 2003.

He also gained over 800 yards as a sophomore.

He also lettered in baseball and track.

2005

He played college football for the Texas Longhorns, where he was a running back for the 2005 National Championship team, and also played on special teams.

Melton's first appearance as a Longhorn was on September 3, 2005, against the Louisiana–Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns football.

Melton was a backup running back in his first two seasons, according to Mike Lampe.

He carried 132 times for 625 yards (4.7-yard average) and 16 touchdowns.

2007

In 2007, Melton switched to defensive tackle.

Over the summer prior to the 2007 Longhorn football season, Melton and teammate Sergio Kindle were arrested in separate incidents on charges of driving while intoxicated.

Both players were suspended from the team for the first three games of the season.

They were required to do community service and missed the first two days of practice in order to visit with a woman whose son was crippled by a drunk driver.

Melton became a starter in his senior season and had 29 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, and 4 sacks.

As a backup defensive end as a junior, he made 11 tackles with one sack.

Melton measured 6-3⅛ and 269 pounds and ran a 4.64 40-yard dash at the University of Texas Pro Day.

He bench pressed 225 pounds 23 times, had a vertical leap of 34½" and a broad jump of 10'1".

2009

He was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the fourth round of the 2009 NFL Draft and has also played for the Dallas Cowboys.

While attending Grapevine High School Melton was a second-team "All-USA" selection by USA Today; he gained over 800 yards and

scored eight touchdowns as a senior.

He was selected by the Chicago Bears in the fourth round (105th overall) of the 2009 NFL Draft.

On May 29, 2009, Melton agreed to terms on a four-year deal with the Bears.

During a preseason game, he returned a kickoff for 20 yards.

Melton registered his first NFL sack on Brett Favre during a Week 10 game against the Minnesota Vikings.

2011

In 2011, Melton recorded a career-high 7 sacks, third most by a defensive tackle, behind Bengals' Geno Atkins and Raiders' Tommy Kelly, who had 7½ sacks apiece.

Melton and teammate and center Roberto Garza were eventually named to the USA Today All-Joe Team.

2012

In 2012, during organized team activities (OTAs), Melton appeared in the backfield as a running back, resembling former Bears defensive lineman and fullback William Perry; Melton had not played running back since his days at Texas.

In the season opener against the Indianapolis Colts, Melton sacked Andrew Luck twice as the Bears went on to win 41–21.

On December 26, Melton was named to his first Pro Bowl.

In the 2012 season, Melton recorded 32 tackles and six sacks, tied for third in the league among defensive tackles.

2013

On March 1, 2013, Melton was given the franchise tag by the Bears, worth $8.45 million.

In 2013, Melton was carted from the field during the third game on September 22, against the Pittsburgh Steelers, with a left knee injury.

A Lachman test on the field was indicative of an anterior cruciate ligament injury, and an MRI was scheduled.

On September 23, Melton was ruled out for the remainder of the 2013 season, and was placed on injured reserve four days later.

After missing the last 13 games of the 2013 season with a torn ACL, he struggled in training camp as his knee recovered and he worked through a groin strain.

Although he began the season as a starter at defensive tackle, injuries forced him into a pass-rushing role, with Tyrone Crawford passing him on the depth chart.

His production faded as the year went on and his season ended with a bone bruise on his right knee and being placed on the injured reserve list before the playoffs.

He finished with 5 sacks (registered in the first 9 games), 20 tackles, 17 quarterback pressures, 4 passes defensed and 2 fumble recoveries.

2014

On March 18, 2014, Melton signed a 1-year contract along with incentives, including a team option for 3 more years with the Dallas Cowboys, hoping he could regain his Pro Bowl form.

2015

On February 14, 2015, the Cowboys declined to exercise the contract's three year option, allowing him to become a free agent on March 14, 2015.

On March 12, 2015, Melton agreed to terms and signed a one-year contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, reuniting him with his old head coach Lovie Smith.
