Erik was born on May 6, 1982 in Sacramento, California. He played high school football at Lewis and Clark High in Spokane, Washington, where he earned three letters as a running back, defensive back and kick returner.
Erik played college football for the Washington State Cougars where he was team captain and one of the greatest defensive playmakers in the school's history. In 2003, Erik was first-team all-Pac-10 with 90-tackles, seven interceptions, three blocked punts, and numerous forced fumbles.
After being selected by the New York Jets in the fifth round (143rd overall) of the 2004 NFL Draft, Erik cemented his role as a starter with interceptions in his first two NFL games. He quickly emerged as a cornerstone of the Jets defense, and finished his rookie season as the highest grossing member of the NFL's performance-pay program. Erik started in 45 of 48 regular season games during his time with the Jets.
On March 1, 2008, Erik signed with the Atlanta Falcons. During the 2008 NFL season he had 95 total tackles, 6 passes deflected, and three interceptions. Erik's three interceptions were the most on the Atlanta Falcons in 2008.
On February 18, 2011, Erik signed a 1-year contract with the Detroit Lions.
