The 6'3", 239 lbs. Sharper had 137 tackles, 2 sacks, 6 passes defended, 3 forced fumbles, and 1 fumble recovery in 2004. The fumble recovery was returned for a TD.

A former Virginia Cavalier, Sharper began his career with the Baltimore Ravens in 1997. After 5 seasons with Ravens, he joined the Texans in 2002.
