[edit] College Career

After playing football in high school at Wichita Northwest High School and playing in the 2002 U.S. Army All-American Bowl, Wimbley played at Florida State, where he was one of the top defensive ends in the country, recording two sacks in three different games in his senior year and leading his conference in sacks before suffering a knee injury against NC State. Despite the injury, Wimbley was named second team All-ACC and was named All-America by Pro Football Weekly.

Starting in all 10 games he played in, he led the team in quarterback hurries with 17 and set career-highs in season sacks and tackles for a loss. He returned to the starting lineup for the Orange Bowl against Penn State, his last career game.

[edit] 2006

Wimbley was selected with the 13th pick overall in the 2006 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns. On July 22, 2006, he signed a six-year deal with the Browns and includes $9.3 million in guaranteed money and $23.7 million total. After being converted to outside linebacker from his college position of defensive end, he played the entire season as the starting linebacker playing opposite all-time post season sack leader Willie McGinest. During his rookie season, Wimbley made an immediate impact leading the team and all AFC rookies with 11 sacks, to go along with 62 tackles, 1 fumble recovery, and 1 forced fumble.

[edit] 2007

In his second NFL season, Wimbley failed to live up to the success of his rookie campaign, being part of a Browns defense that struggled throughout the season. However, he still led the team in sacks with 5, and also registered 51 tackles and 4 forced fumbles.
