College career
editAfter being a fringe Division I-AA All-America candidate, starting quarterback woes plagued Mickens' final college season. He was coached by former Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Ken Riley and ran a 4.5 second 40-yard dash.[1]
Professional career
editGreen Bay Packers
editMickens was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the fifth round (146th overall) of the 1994 NFL draft.[2][3][4] He appeared in twelve games and caught four passes his rookie season.[5] He continued to see sparse playing time his sophomore year.[6] In 1996, he was part of the Super Bowl XXXI winning Green Bay Packers team, seeing his best action as a Packer to date, with 18 catches for 161 yards.[7] He only caught two passes due to a high ankle sprain in 1997, his last year with the Packers.[8]
Oakland Raiders
editThe Oakland Raiders signed Mickens in May 1998.[citation needed] His most productive season came in 1998, where he caught 24 passes for 346 yards and 1 touchdown. He earned playing time after beating out Desmond Howard, Olanda Truitt and Kenny Shedd for the No. 3 receiver position.[9] In 1999, Mickens did not reach the end zone at all but still caught 20 passes.[10] A neck injury before the 2000 season landed him on injured reserve for the entire season.[11] He played in all 32 games he was healthy while he was in Oakland.[12]
