He played college football for the Florida State Seminoles and was selected in the first round by the San Diego Chargers in the 2006 NFL draft. He was selected to four Pro Bowls and was a first-team All-Pro in 2007 after leading the league in interceptions. He also played for the Arizona Cardinals, New York Jets and Indianapolis Colts. Cromartie holds the record for the longest scoring play in NFL history after returning a missed field goal 109 yards for a touchdown in 2007. After his playing career, he was a graduate assistant for the Texas A&M Aggies.
Cromartie was born in Tallahassee, Florida, He was a versatile player at Tallahassee's Lincoln High School. Throughout his senior season, Cromartie recorded 122 tackles and 2 interceptions, returned 3 punts and 2 kicks for TDs, had 450 yards and 1 touchdown on 30 catches and ran the ball 13 times for 242 yards and 3 touchdowns. This was enough to earn Cromartie 2002 USA Today defensive player of the year. Considered a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Cromartie ranked sixth among cornerback prospects in the nation. Cromartie also participated in the 2003 U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
Cromartie also ran track in high school and placed 3rd in the 110-metres hurdles and as a member of the 4 x 100-metres relay team at the Class 5A County track meet. He also cleared 14.3 meters in triple jump.
Cromartie decided to stay close to home for college and accepted an athletic scholarship offer from Florida State University, where he played for coach Bobby Bowden's Florida State Seminoles football team from 2003 to 2004. After flashing playmaking potential as a nickelback and kick returner his first two years, Cromartie tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in July 2005 during voluntary workouts before his junior year and was forced to miss the entire 2005 season. He was potentially going to play at wide receiver during his junior year.
In addition to football, Cromartie also joined the Florida State Seminoles track team in 2004. He was a member of the FSU track team that won the ACC Championship in 2004, where he placed 10th in the 200 meters with a time of 21.35 seconds. He ran a career-best time of 46.39 seconds in the 400 meters at the NCAA Division I Championships, placing 6th in the prelims. He was timed at 21.27 seconds in the 200 meters.
On March 16, 2006, Cromartie attended the NFL Scouting Combine, but performed limited drills as he was only 8 months removed from his torn ACL that required him undergoing surgery. His 4.47s in the 40–yard dash was slower then normally expected with his background in track and field who was known especially for his speed. He decided against performing the short-shuttle and three-cone drill, but performed well in the broad jump, tying Ohio State's Donte Whitner for the second best broad jump among defensive backs with 11'0" with his FSU teammate Pat Watkins finishing first with 11'1". Cromartie performed at his pro day in 2006 for scouts.
The San Diego Chargers selected Cromartie in the first round (19th overall) in the 2006 NFL draft, despite being removed from competitive football for an entire year. He was the second cornerback drafted in 2006, following the Denver Broncos selecting Tye Hill (15th overall). The Chargers entered the 2006 NFL Draft without any glaring needs that needed immediate attention and were able to have the ability to make what was described as a "luxury pick" in Cromartie after he fell to them at 19th overall only due to his injury causing him to not play for 15 months and a delayed transition to the professional game due to his recovery.
On July 25, 2006, the Chargers signed Cromartie to a five—year, $12.50 million rookie contract that included $7.35 million guaranteed.
