The Buccaneers made the right move by bringing Brent Grimes to town. Despite his diminutive stature (5-10), he managed four interceptions, returning one for a touchdown, one forced fumble and 57 tackles in his debut season in Tampa. He came in and led a secondary that frankly needed to be led. One could argue that the flashes of great play we saw from Chris Conte came, in part, because of Grimes coverage on the outside.
Well, what if I told you that Grimes nearly stepped away from football before ever taking the field in Tampa Bay?
