Antonio Cromartie (born April 15, 1984 in Tallahassee, Florida) is a current American football cornerback for the San Diego Chargers. He played college football at Florida State University. In his junior year, Cromartie tore his ACL and was forced to miss the entire season. Even though he was removed from competitive football for an entire year, he was still selected as the 19th pick of the first round of the 2006 NFL Draft. On July 25, 2006, Cromartie signed a 5-year $12.75 million deal with the Chargers.
In his first season with the Chargers, Cromartie saw action at cornerback and on special teams. He showed flashes of his athletic ability on defense, while at times also showing that he was an inexperienced rookie. Towards the end of the season, Cromartie handled some punt and kickoff return duties. In a game against the Oakland Raiders, Cromartie returned a kickoff for 91 yards, the longest return for the team since 2001.
