A former first-round pick out of Kansas, Talib was considered one of the best defensive backs in the league throughout his career. Spending significant time with the Denver Broncos and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Talib amassed 125 deflected passes, 35 interceptions, and 10 defensive touchdowns over the course of his illustrious career.
Most recently, Talib found himself on the Miami Dolphins roster after being traded from the Los Angeles Rams, but never took the field prior to being placed on Injured Reserve.
