LUIS CASTILLO

COMMISSIONER

SERVING SINCE 2009

Commissioner Castillo is only the second player of Dominican heritage to be drafted and start in the NFL. Stalin Colinet, who was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the third round in 1997, was the first.

In 2005 Commissioner Castillo was named a All-Rookie Team selection by NFL.com, Pro Football Weekly/Professional Football Writers of America. On the football field Commissioner Castillo has emerged as a major play maker creating havoc in opposing backfields.

He ended his rookie season with 49 tackles, 3½ sacks, and 3 pass deflections. In the 2006 opening game at the Oakland Raiders ESPN commentator Dick Vermeil called Castillo one of the best young defensive linemen he's seen in a long time.

When he is not playing football, Commissioner Castillo speaks to schools and makes special appearances all over the county to benefit numerous organizations.

This season, Commissioner Castillo and his foundation will utilize his 20 Community Corner tickets through Castillo’s Cargadores, an Athletes for Education program, to reward families and students.
