While at Louisville, he set numerous school records, including most career Pass Break Ups or Pass Defends (44) and the record for most career interceptions. His pass interception record has since been broken.

Madison played with the Dolphins from 1997-2005 and then signed with the New York Giants in 2006. He's been selected to the Pro Bowl four times and was a member of the Giants 2007 Super Bowl XLII Championship team.

He uses his hands well and has fine speed, allowing him to keep stride with receivers. His balance and agility allow him to keep receivers off kilter. The cornerback can also blitz from the edge, using his fine timing and quickness. Professionally in 166 games, he has 61 pass defends, 37 interceptions, 11 forced fumbles and 470 tackles (403 solo).
