Stanford Routt has been a starter and reserve player for the Oakland Raiders since he entered the league in 2005. Prior to playing at the pro level, Routt was a track and football performer in Houston and his 4.25 40-yard dash time at the Combine caught the eye of the Silver & Black.
As a rookie, Routt saw action in 14-games with two starts and in 2006, he tallied his first career interception.
This off-season, as a restricted free agent, Routt received a first and third-round tender. He is scheduled to make $3.268 million in 2010. Routt practiced with the team during minicamp, and in the summer, he’ll battle for a spot in the Raider rotation against rookie Walter McFadden, Joey Thomas and first year player Jeremy Ware.
