6-2, 180 lbs. He looks like a very athletic cornerback with the size and tools to get it done. But how will he be as a pro?
Here's how his college career has broken down, showing improvement in each year:
Year GP TKL PBU INT YDS
2004 DNP - - - -
2005 11 54 8 2 45
2006 10 42 22 6 82
2007 13 66 13 5 195
Totals 34 162 43 13 322

Now check out the you tube clips, the 1st clip and the 3rd clip on the page.

The 100 yard interception return in the 1st clip is certainly impressive.
It started with a great aerial snatch.
The interception return in the 3rd clip though is even more impressive imo.
It's a shorter return, but watch as Talib senses he is about to be tackled before he hits paydirt. He then leaps up into the air, inches from the sideline, and launches himself, somersaulting though the air, and into the endzone for 6. To me, that's just freakish athleticisim.
The size and athleticism are there to match up against the taller WRs that are starting to proliferate the NFL. Could Aqib Talib, have what it takes to be a Patriot?
