Crowder was selected by the Dolphins in the third round of the 2005 NFL draft, and played his entire professional career with Miami.

[2] He was an original member of Florida's 2002 signing class, but delayed his enrollment until January 2003 in order to complete rehabilitation of his knee.

He ranked first among linebackers, first among Florida's true freshmen and tied for ninth on the team with 816 plays despite missing two games.

He returned against eventual national champion LSU 10 days after surgery to lead the linebacking unit with seven tackles.

Crowder caused Kentucky quarterback Jared Lorenzen to throw a game-turning interception, that set up a touchdown and gave Florida the win.

[3] The pick used to select him was previously acquired from the Chicago Bears in the Marty Booker-Adewale Ogunleye trade from the year before.

Crowder signed a four-year contract with the team in July and went on to start 13 of the 16 games in which he played during his rookie season.

Along with running back Ronnie Brown and cornerback Travis Daniels, 2005 marked the first time since 1996 that three or more Dolphin rookies opened at least ten games.

Crowder ranked second on the team with 90 tackles, the highest total by a Dolphins rookie since Zach Thomas tallied 164 in 1996.

Crowder collected seven tackles against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on October 16 and also recovered an Earnest Graham fumble that led to a Ronnie Brown eight-yard TD run on the next play from scrimmage.

He started all 16 games during the regular season, though he suffered a hip injury on November 19 against the Minnesota Vikings that forced him from that contest permanently.

On July 29, 2011, the Dolphins released Crowder and then signed LB Kevin Burnett from the San Diego Chargers.

[5] On February 1, 2012, Crowder appeared on the Super Bowl's Radio Row and announced his intention to restart his professional career.

Channing is married to wife Aja, and the couple have appeared together on VH1 reality television series Baller Wives.

His midday show on WQAM with NBC 6 news anchor, Adam Kuperstein, was recently cancelled.
