Jason Sehorn
By Allyson Turner
Jason Sehorn's 1998 season ended early, when he suffered a knee injury while returning a kick against the New York Jets during the preseason. Sehorn's injury was a tough blow for the New York Giants, because the cornerback finished the 1997 season with a career-high six interceptions -- the most by a Giant since Everson Walls had six in 1990. Sehorn also finished third on the team with 86 tackles; he had 1.5 sacks and a fumble recovery.
In 1996, Sehorn led the Giants in interceptions with five, including one returned for a touchdown, and finished third on the team with 97 tackles, including three sacks. He was drafted by the Giants in the second round of the 1994 draft.
After a record-setting career as a receiver and tailback at Shasta Community College (Redding, Calif.), he transferred to Southern California, where he played two years at both cornerback and safety. As a senior, Sehorn had seven interceptions. The 27-year-old Sacramento, Calif. native also played two seasons in the minor leagues with the Chicago Cubs organization.
