[edit] Professional Career
He was the Carolina Panthers' second round pick in the 2004 NFL Draft. On the Panthers, Keary stepped into the 2nd receiver spot when Steve Smith was injured. He filled in nicely, catching 47 catches for 754 yards and 5 touchdowns. With high expectations for Keary in the 2005 season, he struggled catching 25 passes for 282 yards and just 2 touchdowns.
In 2006, however, Colbert was inactive most of the second half of the season.
[edit] High School Years
Colbert attended Hueneme High School in Oxnard, California, and was a letterman in football and track.
[edit] College Career
He attended University of Southern California, where he was a star wide receiver. In his final year at USC, Colbert made an unbelievable catch while he was interfered by two defenders in the Rose Bowl against University of Michigan, broke away and walked into the end zone for a touchdown. Colbert's 149 yards in the Rose Bowl were a career high. Colbert left USC as the school's all-time leader in pass receptions, passing Kareem Kelly with 207.
He has caught at least one pass in his final 36 games. He earned All-Pac 10 second-team honors his senior year and finished second on the team with 69 receptions for 1,013 yards and nine touchdowns.
[edit] Miscellaneous
Colbert has a tattoo of his initials "KC" similar to that of the logo of the Kansas City Chiefs. Ironically, it was in Kansas City against the Chiefs where he scored his first NFL touchdown in 2004, where soon after he pointed to the tattoo on his arm and then to the KC logo in the end zone.
