Overview

Talib is a graduate of Berkner HS in Richardson, Texas where he was named first team all-district and first team all-city for the Rams in 2003... Aqib was also named Berkner HS Defensive Back of the Year as a senior. He lettered in football, basketball and track. Has been a star at KU for three years, doing a little bit of everything. Honorable mention all Big-12 as a sophomore, and first team all Big-12 the past two seasons. Measured shorter and ran slightly slower than expected at the NFL Combine.

Strengths

Aqib is a big corner with good speed and ball awareness. Fluid athlete. A solid man cover guy with good flexibility, nice ups, and the ability to run and bat balls away. Excellent return skills add to his value. Can be electrifying when he is right. Decent ball skills. Very good production. Seasoned. Even played some offense at KU, and his versatility is among the best of any player coming into the 2008 draft. Big time potential, if it can all be harnessed.

Weaknesses

Is not a very solid run supporter. Not a very good tackler at this stage of his development. Relies too much on his natural gifts and hasn't yet worked hard enough to develop his technique. Bites too early. Jumps routes and sometimes misses the ball. A bit of a boom or bust type. Needs to stop reading his press clippings. Not the best team guy around. Has some focus and head question marks. Gives up on plays.

Projection

Early-mid round 1 to early round 2.
