Artrell Hawkins

New York Jets defensive back, Artrell Hawkins retired from the NFL last week. Hawkins played in the league for eight seasons and was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the second round (43rd overall) of the 1998 NFL Draft. He became the second highest player to be drafted out of the University of Cincinnati. As a senior, he helped guide the program to its first bowl appearance since 1950. In his six seasons with the Bengals, he picked off nine passes and recorded 68 or more total tackles three times. However, he was released in March. He was then signed by the Carolina Panthers in 2004 where he forced three fumbles, but again was released. He was then signed by the Washington Redskins, but waived two months later.
