Authographed Football with Certificate of Authenticity

Staley was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 1997 NFL Draft and played for the Eagles through the 2003 season. After his rookie season and the departure of Ricky Watters, Staley became the starter in a tumultuous 3-13 season which led to the dismissal of head coach Ray Rhodes. Under Andy Reid, Staley developed into the team's perennial leading receiver through Reid's screen-heavy West Coast offense. However, he played in only five games of the 2000 season due to a serious Lisfranc fracture. Staley also missed some playing time in 2001 due to a shoulder injury. Entering the 2003 season, Staley held-out of training camp in an attempt to bargain for a new contract, as he was in the last year of his deal. With Correll Buckhalter coming back from an ACL tear and Brian Westbrook entering his second season, the Eagles decided not to budge. This resulted in shared playing time between the three, as Westbrook became the premier back by season's end. They were known as the "Three Headed Monster". Consequently, the Eagles decided to not re-sign Staley.

In 2004, Staley became the number one running back for his new team, the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, he scored few touchdowns as handoffs in the redzone went to veteran back Jerome Bettis. After Staley was injured in mid-2004, Bettis took over the starting job.

In 2005, after both he and Bettis were injured, Willie Parker, an undrafted free agent, had a stellar season, and Staley, in another injury plagued season, was dropped to third string, managing only 148 yards in five games, with a 3.9 yard per carry average.

Despite a preseason in which he ran for just 92 yards on 42 carries, Staley made the Steelers' 53-man roster in 2006. After week one, the Steelers signed former Packers' running back Najeh Davenport to replace him as the Steelers' power back. The true signal of Staley's demise was when third-down back Verron Haynes went down with a season-ending injury, and the Steelers promoted John Kuhn from the practice squad instead of activating Staley. On December 3, 2006, the Steelers released Staley. In his three year tenure with the team, Staley played in just 16 games.

Staley officially retired as a Philadelphia Eagle during the Eagles-Giants game, December 9, 2007. At halftime, Staley was escorted onto the field by former teammates for his retirement celebration featuring a brief ceremony and two highlight videos.
