Chicago Bears Stecker spent the 1999 training camp with the
Chicago Bears; however, he did not make the active roster.
Scottish Claymores Before the 2000 season, the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers allocated Stecker to the
Scottish Claymores of
NFL Europe. Stecker led the league in total scrimmage yards through the first two weeks in the season. He wound up garnering Offensive MVP honors.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Early in his career in Tampa Bay, Stecker credits
Fred McAfee for bolstering his confidence. During the 2000 season, Stecker began returning kickoffs for the Bucs. During his four years with the team, he became a core special teams player, along with sporadic duty as a pass-catching back. He also won
Super Bowl XXXVII with the team before leaving after 2003.
New Orleans Saints Signing with the
New Orleans Saints before 2004, Stecker became a return man and scat back. Competing with established backs such as
Reggie Bush and
Deuce McAllister led to sparse playing time. He was placed on injured reserve during the 2008 season and did not return to the team the following year.
Atlanta Falcons Stecker was signed by the
Atlanta Falcons in the middle the 2009 season, where he played mostly on special teams. He carried the ball five times and caught it five times as well. The Packers also showed interest in Stecker in 2009.
Retirement In April 2010, Stecker retired. He was tried out by the
Green Bay Packers later that year but did not garner a contract offer. == NFL career statistics ==
