Retired in 2012 after 16 seasons with the Buccaneers, the longest career in franchise history and holds the records for most games
played and started. Also holds the NFL record for consecutive starts by a defensive back and is the only NFL cornerback to have
recorded at least 25 sacks and 25 interceptions in a career. Played free safety in his final season but made five Pro Bowls at corner
and is also the Bucs' franchise leader in interceptions. Scored in four different ways in his career (fumble return, interception return,
punt return and punt block), the only player in team history to do so. Selected to the NFL Hall of Fame in 2023.
