He graduated from Miami Springs High School in Miami Springs, Florida. He played for Legandary High School Coach Buddy Goins at Miami Springs.

Professional career

First stint with Steelers

Roye was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the sixth round of the 1996 NFL Draft. He played for them from 1996 to 1999.

Cleveland Browns

Roye signed with the Cleveland Browns before the 2000 season. He underwent arthroscopic surgery on August 2, 2007. This is the same knee that caused his 2006 season to end early.[1] He played for the Browns from 2000 to 2007.

Second stint with Steelers

On August 17, 2008, Roye was re-signed by the Steelers after being released by the Browns. Coach Mike Tomlin called Roye, "a veteran defensive lineman, a guy who knows how to play the game, a professional."[2] He became an unrestricted free agent at the end of the 2008 season.
