Ronde Barber

Ronde Barber gave sixteen seasons to a single franchise, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which in modern football is its own kind of heroism. A cornerback who reinvented himself as a safety to keep playing speaks to a rare blend of intelligence and adaptability that I find deeply impressive. He did the unglamorous, body-on-the-line work behind the spotlight-hogging quarterbacks and runners. Twice an All-American at Virginia out of Cave Spring High School, and one half of an NFL twin act, he built a Hall of Fame-caliber career out of consistency. I have a real weakness for steady professionals like Barber who quietly master a thankless position.
