Ivy was also a member of the Frankfurt Galaxy, Chicago Enforcers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, St. Louis Rams, Cleveland Browns, Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Omaha Nighthawks.

He had a great season playing on special teams and nickelback for the top ranked Baltimore defense.

His best game was against the Steelers where he had an interception, a sack, and a forced fumble that was recovered for a touchdown by Adalius Thomas in a win.

The injury is well documented because on the plane ride back from Denver the Ravens had to make an emergency stop for Ivy in Pittsburgh.

During an interview with BaltimoreRavens.com after receiving the award Ivy said that FS Ed Reed was the person who got the doctor while on the plane.

An unrestricted free agent in the 2009 offseason, Ivy signed with the Cleveland Browns on March 18.

Corey Ivy was re-signed by the Baltimore Ravens on December 22, 2009, after cornerback Ladarius Webb was placed on injured reserve and just before a game against the rival Steelers.

The defense is still playing at a high level, and I want to contribute to that.” He recorded one tackle in two regular season games but an illegal contact penalty on him caused an Ed Reed interception to be negated in a playoff loss to the Indianapolis Colts.
