nfl=CAN348169Trung Jered Canidate (born
March 3 ,1977 in Phoenix,Arizona ) is a formerAmerican football running back in theNational Football League . Drafted out of Arizona, Canidate was selected with the 31st overall pick of the2000 NFL Draft by theSt. Louis Rams . With the addition of running backMarshall Faulk the previous year, there was much confusion with such a selection and most fans thought it was wasted. He started only 3 games in his 3 seasons with St. Louis; he was drafted for his quickness and speed, but he was undersized and perceived as fumble-prone (as it happens, he fumbled on 1.6% of his touches in his career, [ [http://www.nfl.com/players/trungcanidate/careerstats?id=CAN348169 NFL.com] , including receptions and kick returns. Accessed 9/12/08.] while the average runner fumbled on 1.37% of his. [ [http://www.pro-football-reference.com/blog/?p=522 Pro-Football-Reference] , using the data from 2000-2003. Accessed 9/12/08.] )After the 2002 season, St. Louis traded Canidate to the
Washington Redskins forDavid Loverne and a fourth round draft choice. There, he won the starting spot and started 10 games, gaining 600 rushing yards and one touchdown. The next season, the Redskins tradedChamp Bailey for all-star running backClinton Portis , and Canidate spent the rest of his career on the Redskins' inactive list.References
