Five Best Cornerbacks the Buccaneers Face in 2016

3. Aqib Talib

Number three is an old friend who has gone on to create quite the career for himself.

Aqib Talib used to be one of us, drafted in 2008 by the Bucs.  He put in some solid work for Tampa, posting 18 interceptions and 98 passes defended over five years.  During the 2012 season, Talib was traded to the Patriots, where he finished 2012 and played all of 2013.  In 2013 he made the first of what became three straight Pro Bowl appearances, posting four interceptions and 13 passes defended.

Prior to the 2014 season, Talib signed a large contract to become a Denver Bronco, where he is today.  Over his two years in the Mile High city, Aqib has intercepted seven passes, returning four of them for touchdowns.  He has a bit of a temper, committing two personal foul penalties in the last Super Bowl, earning him fines.  He also was suspended for one game in 2015 for poking an opponent in the eye.

But that takes nothing away from the fact that this player is talented, and can wreck a game.
