Tampa Bay Bucs first-round Draft pick cornerback Aqib Talib has apparently done quite well in the team’s offseason workouts and minicamps, making big plays in practice against players with a lot more experience. According to head coach Jon Gruden last week:
“He’s going to be the face of this franchise.”
That’s heavy praise from your head coach. Will Aqib live up to the billing? Upon hearing Coach Gruden’s comments, Aqib said he just wants to contribute any way he can. He’ll be battling Phillip Buchanon and Eugene Wilson at cornerback opposite Ronde Barber, where the Bucs should be as deep as ever.
