As a Bucs fan, I was hoping South Florida's CB Mike Jenkins would be the one chosen with the 20th pick in last years draft. After building the core of the '02 Championship team through alumnus from Florida, FSU, and Miami, I was hoping they would select the player that played at Raymond James through his collegiate career.Thankfully, Tampa ignored my thoughts, and chose Aqib Talib, from Kansas, with the 20th selection. The hated Cowboys snatched up Jenkins five spots later at the 25 slot.
And now, almost halfway through the season, Talib seems to be doing well compared to Jenkins. While Mike has a couple more tackles, Aqib has piled up 3 interceptions to Jenkins doughnut.
I am so excited for Talib's early NFL sucess, especially after last years top pick, Gaines Adams, started off extremly slow. Hopefully this early sucess will continue through the rest off his young career.
