Timeline
Drayton Florence, Jr. (born December 19, 1980) is a former American football cornerback who played eleven seasons in the National Football League (NFL).
He was selected by the San Diego Chargers in the second round of the 2003 NFL Draft.
He played college football at Tennessee-Chattanooga and Tuskegee.
Florence was also a member of the Carolina Panthers, Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars, Buffalo Bills, and Denver Broncos.
Florence attended Tuskegee University.
Florence was selected by the Chargers 46th overall in the second round of the 2003 NFL Draft and was the second cornerback selected by Chargers that draft after Sammy Davis.
He is the highest drafted NFL player from Tuskegee University.
Initially drafted as a nickel back who could fill in at safety if needed, Florence had fought his way to become a legitimate starting cornerback in the NFL across Quentin Jammer.
On Sunday, January 14, 2007 in the AFC Divisional Playoff game against the New England Patriots after a muffed punt by wide receiver Eric Parker at the San Diego 31-yard line, Florence committed a personal foul, head-butting Patriot TE Daniel Graham following a 3rd and long play.
During the play, the Charger defense had stopped the Patriots for a 7-yard loss putting the ball at the Charger 37-yard line (apx. 53-yard field goal range).
The result of the penalty was a Patriots first down on the Charger 18.
The Patriots went on to win the game 24-21.
The NFL fined Florence $15,000 for the illegal hit he put on Houston Texans Quarterback Matt Schaub on Sunday October 28.
On an interception return, he drilled Schaub from the blind side, and was penalized 15 yards for unnecessary roughness.
The league ruled that on a change of possession, Florence unnecessarily made helmet-to-helmet contact with Schaub, who suffered a concussion and missed the rest of the game.
On March 1, 2008, Florence was signed by the Jacksonville Jaguars to a six-year $36 million contract with $13 million in guaranteed money.
After one season with the team he was released on February 11, 2009.

Florence responded by leading the Bills in takeaways, including a fumble returned for a touchdown against the Bengals and an interception returned for a touchdown against Minnesota, two weeks apart.
He also scored the go-ahead touchdown in the Bills' victory against the New England Patriots in 2011.

He was inducted into Tuskegee University Hall Of Fame in 2014 (2001–2002) after transferring from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (1999–2000).
He registered school-record three returns for touchdowns on interceptions at Tuskegee.
As a senior, he was named first-team Division II All-America by the Associated Press and American Coaches Association.
