Ty Law

Tajuan Law (born February 10, 1974) Law is one of the marquee cornerbacks in the National Football League. He began his professional career after a remarkable three year run at Michigan where he lettered three years in a row (1992-94), earned first-team All-American honors from Walter Camp as a senior and was a two-time unanimous All-Big Ten Conference selection. He declared himself eligible for the NFL draft in 1995.

He was drafted 23rd in the first round by the New England Patriots where he spent the majority of his career. In 1998 Law earned his first trip to the Pro Bowl. That year he led the league with 9 interceptions, the first time any New England Patriot had led the league in interceptions.

1999 saw Law earn a trip to his second consecutive Pro Bowl.

Law was voted to the Pro Bowl for the third consecutive year and for the fourth time in his career after the 2003 season. In 2003, Law was part of a records shattering Patriots defense that led the NFL in four key categories: opponents’ points per game (14.9), opponents’ passer rating (56.2), interceptions (29) and passing touchdowns surrendered (11).

In 2004 Law played seven games before missing the rest of the season with injury. The Patriots won their third Super Bowl, this time with a patchwork secondary.

On February 25, 2005, Law was released by the cap-conscious Pats due to his $12,551,000 cap salary. The Patriots saved $9,849,997 on the 2005 salary cap.
