Clinton Portis
Clinton Earl Portis was born September 1, 1981 in Laurel, Mississippi and he is an American football running back. He currently plays for the Washington Redskins of the National Football League.
Portis went to the University of Miami. He became just the second true freshman to start at running back since the 1975 season. Portis set a school freshman record with five 100-yard performances, and led the team with 838 yards and eight touchdowns on 143 carries (5.9 avg.) in 10 games.
Portis was drafted by the Denver Broncos in the second round of the 2002 NFL Draft.
Prior to the 2004 season, the Broncos traded Portis to the Redskins for cornerback Champ Bailey and a second-round draft pick in the 2004 NFL Draft which the Broncos used to select Tatum Bell. The Redskins signed Portis to an eight-year contract worth $50.5 million.
In 2006, Portis played in eight games, with seven starts, as he struggled through a myriad of injuries. He suffered a shoulder injury in preseason that lingered into the season. A fractured hand forced him to injured reserve later in the year. Portis finished with 523 rushing yards on 127 carries and seven touchdowns. He also caught 74 passes for 170 yards.
