| Biography: |
| PRO: A fierce competitor that has surpassed expectations his entire career, Givens enters his sixth season keen on recovering from a season ending left knee injury suffered in 2006. Givens is a professional that brings experience and leadership to a young receiving corps. In 2006, his first year as a Titan, Givens started five games and totaled eight receptions for 104 yards. Before arriving in Tennessee, Givens spent four seasons with the Patriots winning two Super Bowl titles, playing in 53 games with 27 starts and totaling 158 receptions for 2,214 yards and 12 touchdowns. Showing a knack for getting into the end zone, Givens became the Patriots’ all-time postseason touchdown reception leader with seven, while playing in eight postseason games. Givens’ seven touchdowns in seven consecutive postseason games ranks second in NFL history behind John Stallworth (eight touchdowns in eight consecutive postseason games). In the two Super Bowl victories, Givens totaled eight receptions for 88 yards and two touchdowns. In 2005, he finished second on the team with a career-high 59 receptions and 738 receiving yards with two touchdowns. Givens has exceeded 100 receiving yards six times in his career, including twice in 2005. Givens was the Patriots’ leading receiver in 2004 with a then career-high 56 receptions and 874 yards. In 2003, Givens led the team with seven touchdowns and finished second on the squad with 510 receiving yards. He also was a key part in the 2003 postseason, tying for the team lead with 17 receptions and leading the squad with two touchdowns. Givens was originally selected by the Patriots in the seventh round (253rd overall) of the 2002 NFL draft.
