is one of the best cornerbacks in all of football, having notched 17 interceptions in the past four seasons. So, the Buccaneers definitely would've missed him had he retired in the offseason.

According to Grimes, he almost did retire. And if he had, he would've pursued a career in the NBA. Luckily for the Buccaneers, he decided against a switch in careers.

On Wednesday, Sports Illustrated published a lengthy feature on Grimes and his always vocal and controversial wife, Miko Grimes.
