On situations where the Patriots offense need one or two yards for a first down, he frequently checks in as a tight end, which makes him an eligible receiver. Patriots coach Bill Belichick took advantage of this in Super Bowl XXXVIII: in the fourth quarter, Tom Brady threw a 1-yard touchdown pass to him, making him the first defensive player to score a touchdown on offense since William "Refrigerator" Perry did so for the Bears against the Patriots in Super Bowl XX in 1986.

He was one of the defensive stars in the game as well; he had two sacks (one forcing a fumble) of Carolina's Jake Delhomme, and was a contender for the Super Bowl MVP award that went to Tom Brady.

As of December 2005, He has had eight career receptions; every reception was with the Patriots and went for a 1- or 2-yard touchdown.
