This may be the best interview sports center has ever done. Interesting questions and talib gave good quick answers. Good job both
Hale Samuelson i said the same thing. Best interview I’ve seen on ESPN. And I think much differently from Talib now, seems like a pretty cool dude.
Michael Greenwood u right good interview , good answers , but na he still a punk , very talented , hes good but his character is weak and insecure . Which is weak Bc he has talent . He not chill . Call him chill when he shows discipline in the heat of the moment 👍
Seems as if he's matured a lot but he's gonna be the same on the field.
you mean you dont like stephen a smith yelling his nonsensical point into your ears?
Wow, this is a pretty standard and pretty boring interview. So ESPN must suck big time.
Calvin Johnson was a machine every corner that ever covered him said he was most difficult WR to ever cover especially 1on1.
Nigga you play Madden too much...
*Jerry Rice is the GOAT... Period.*
Quis 1on1 nigga what about Richard Sherman that nigga locked his ass up fo
Denzel 'My Niqqa' Washington why you acting like he said Dion branch or something
@@timpetrov6726 Sherman never locked anything down Earl Thomas was his security blanket lets be real. Earl Thomas is a great safety that bring tremendous safety help for his corners.
@@rawswisher43 Also Sherman had Earl Thomas for great safety help. Revis was a real lockdown corner so was Champ Bailey and Woodson. Earl Thomas made Sherman and Maxwell shine in Seattle.
Never really liked Aqib an awful lot but he seems like a chill dude. Definitely changes my perspective on the man. Great interview.
Everyone is different when they step in between those white lines.
Everyone shows their best self on TV..
Football is a dawg sport. Have you ever played? Don’t sound like it
T SMACKS facts talib would help your grandma carry her grocery’s but when he gets on that turf he has dog in his heart he don’t feel sorry for nobody out there.
Lil PressedRoxi30s bra exactly. Ain’t no buddy buddy on the turf. Frfr
Megatron was unstoppable, if only he was drafted by a competent organization
Lions drafted two all time greats at their position in Megatron and Barry Sanders, and their careers were basically ruined by bad management.
Todd Gurley SZN for sure, i’m a Lions fan and even I see their potential was wasted
FireeStyle Yeah that’s why I have a lot of respect for Lions fans, they still support their team despite the bad decisions made by incompetent management. Hope y’all can continue to turn it around in the future!
He retired before Patriots could get him I remember they where working that deal and he retired
Thumbs up from a Detroit native. Horrible organization
love the questions asked, wonderful job sports center
Na that was funny too
marco ordonez 😂 😂 😂
Anthony Shepherd Hell nah that shit was LEGENDARY
Making sly remarks trying to get a reaction out of somebody is weak
Agreed . Nice job SC
"Was he wearing a chain?" Sir you a trouble starter lmao
Nice to see my man talib put some respek on Calvin Johnson’s name.
Respect?
Ryan noooo, respek which is a whole different thing
He didn’t get the nickname Megatron for no reason 😂 dude was a all time great in my opinion but my boy kam got the best of him 🤷🏻♂️
CloutSteezo wanna know who was the only CB in the league to actually shut him down? Revis Island, and before you just answer back go and check his stats, literally the only one to do it successfully which speaks volumes of Megatron’s dominance
I was going to type a comment, but I read yours and totally forgot what I was going to say.. I have googled and even searched Webster’s for the word “respek”, and I literally can’t find a thing on it. Wtf does respek mean?
I'm not a big Aquib fan but those are some solid answers he just gave...🙏
Been singing this guy's praises since he was in Tampa Bay. I knew he was going to be a PROBLEM! sensational cornerback
@the business handler he won with Denver though
Facts
His HOF. Maybe not 1st Ballet but he’s HOF
I hate him now after being a Bronco... But when he was with Chris Harris Jr at Kansas! Oooooh baby...
Until he meets Steve Smith Sr :)
Damn good interview! Clear and precise with his thinking
What color are you?
@@eugenewilliams3214 ⚠racist alert⚠
You know Calvin Johnson kept some corners up at night before the game, one of the greats! Go Lions!
@Larry Ratliffe
Lions fan here. Calvin and Barry Sanders are literally the only good things we’ve ever had.
@A A LMAO WHAT??
A A lions wouldn’t let go Barry and Calvin’s contracts when they wanted to get traded they tired of being the back none of the team .
Barry Sanders was the only Good player on the team with a bad o line he has to carry them . Calvin tired of losing and kissing the playoffs so he wanted to leave but had to retire to get out of there cuz he can’t leave
@A A I agree he is the best QB that Detroit ever had but he is not great at all
A A eh
Megatron went overlooked bc he retired early and played in Detorit. He's arguably the most talented WR to ever play. Size, speed, hands, incredible jump etc. Just the way he played was amazing. Throw him the ball and let him get it..
No one overlooked Calvin Johnson… He was double and often TRIPLE teamed… No receiver has been schemed against so highly whilst simultaneously taking 3/4 players out of any given play.
Not more talented thatn randy
@@ry69scott Incorrect. It was the same way with Moss.
@@hamricmike8 Fair point.
@@jahglizzy9218 Calvin could block… Randy couldn’t
not only the best questions to ask but the best responses to. that rapid fire was lit

Dude still in the NFL at 33 he can answer anything he wants.

One of the most underrated cbs of all time. 134 games started, 125 pass deflections, 35 interceptions, 10 tds, 5 force fumbles. HOF worthy 🐐
Hall of Very Good. Talib is stuck in that category.
@@ricksprings what bout Steve Smith
I’m very impressed with this interview by both. Please continue with these
Awesome questions! Aqib sounds a lil more humble and relaxed, great job for that reporter as well.
Thats what getting older does to ya. He wasn't like that seven years ago.
He talks almost exactly like Nipsey Hussle. But yeah, he sounds like he actually matured so that's great
A player on the field and a player off the field are two completely different people.. emotions and adrenaline can do a lot to a person.
CALVIN JOHNSON 💯💯💯

HELLA FACTS
I'm surprised Julio Jones was not mentioned.
Desean Jackson speed was out the roof! That man definitely flew like an Eagle!!
Damn this is a great interview. Well done to all involved.
Steve Smith Senior “Ice Up Son, Ice Up!!!”
Alfredo Solano not really he’s super small
Definitely
@VictoryRoad04 he was on the field in the game right?......ok
@VictoryRoad04 Smitty bodied him..
Hahaha classic
Great Q&A...don't see much of that nowadays on sports shows
Great interview guys. Loved the questions and interaction
Nice smooth interview. Before this I haven’t really liked Talib, but I know that just the competitive side of his personality showing up in games. This interview showed more of the person. Talib......Respect!
Why Aqib lowkey sounds like Nipsey in this interview smh. TMC
Emanuel Malik thinking the same shit
Facts! I thought the same thing too
I thought I was bugging. I closed my eyes with the video on and I could hear nipsey
Facts, blew my mind
I didn’t feel like he did. Nipsey deeper and a little more raspy. Every has their own perception tho.
I already knew Calvin was the toughest to guard
Bestv WR of all time imo
To me he's wssentially Gronk if he was alot quicker. To bad he never had a Brady
Duh. He's 6'5 235 leaped 38 inches off the ground and ran a 4.4 of coarse he's the hardest to cover
No you didnt
Fool had speed and hands and good runner after the catch.
Saw all the comments about this being a good interview & after watching it... Man. This was a good interview. The rapid fire questions were great.
This was a incredible interview great job all around, so excited for the season to start. LA Rams let's go!!!!!! 🐏🍻
I like how he said he grew in to a Professional when he went to New England. Much respect. He became Humble and Matured himself
I miss Calvin so much man... I wish he could of went somewhere & got a ring. It’s Detroit vs Everybody forever.... but man he deserved so much better.
Mad respect for saying that. He def deserved a ring!
I really had a different image of him.. But I love his honesty. And he is on point with his Name drops. RESPECT.
That was a really good interview! I don't watch espn much but that gentleman is smooth, and talib seems really cool.
Surprised Julio jones wasnt mentioned in the currently playing categories
That's cuz julio ain't the best at anything but he is good at everything though...AB number 1
Mark Burn AB is a child
@@5hockeyman14 so u say...didn't know u knew him to judge him like that but he wasn't a child all those years he spent making bib ben look like a good quarterback
@@5hockeyman14 man u cant believe everything thing u hear just cuz 4 or 5 people talk shit about u dont make it true in his first 9 years u didn't hear anything like that but as soon as he started demanding the respect from the organization that he rightfully deserved now all of a sudden he got a bad attitude I dont buy it u see how Pittsburgh did him and bell u telling me u would've been pissed yourself....they pit him and juju against each other at the end and they even had the nerve to name juju the mvps of the team that year just to get under that man skin u heard what the GM said in his interview looks like they were the ones being childish to me
And u forget julio parted ways with the Falcons until they gave him a new deal he took all the Falcons shit off his social media and stayed away from the team I dont remember AB ever doing that. does that mean julio got a bad attitude?? No...cuz the media didn't attack julio like they did brown if the media turned on julio like they did brown everyone would look at julio different and be saying the same shit about him
Fam sound just like Nipsey 💙♿
Dominique Hollins was just thinking that, same speech patterns too
@@josiah3236 💯💯💪🏾

Talib is from Cali u know
Bro i was just bouta say this lol its scary how alike they sound
Great Questions Stan! Talib is always a great interview.
this was a damn good interview, props to ESPN and Talib
I miss aqilb tailb in Broncos
NO FLY!
Looks better in horns
Ryan Foster not a chance
Me too
Raiders don't
All I can hear is Nipsey speaking crazy 💙🏁
he sounds just like him
I know right! Shit crazy
Talib is from Cali u know
Great interview, straight to the point of what we want to hear..
So glad the brother gave a good, well spoken and honest interview! So much said about him in the media. He seems different from the guy the media wants us the believe he is.
He sound somewhat like Nipsey! RIP the great Nipsey! 🏁
Im thinking the same thing
On god
Fuck nipsey
Someone literally said that before u but u got more likes 😂
@@highlife9493 Fuck you.
DeSean Jackson, Eagles legend. His speed was...still is otherworldly.
Still
Good interview, straight to the point with good questions
Loved the questions
This dude is one of a kind.... funny as he'll too. Especially when he shot himself in the leg.... "you got to respect the process"
Steve Smith straight disrespected you in the same division and no mention of him
Ice Up, Son!
This dude know Smitty will still bust his ass. He’s scared to mention him.
thanks, now i dont have to watch this. the disrespect on 89 is cold. he's still icing up
@@Eltonmorris steve smith too busy being a "get off my lawn" headass to Josh Rosen
Steve gave this man the business and won the game.
This dude is on point. Answering these questions. Great 👍 interview.
This is a great interview/great questions
Ice up son! He knows it's Steve Smith Sr.!!
Crowley Mustdie
He got cooked by Ramsey lol.
steve smith is no one top receiver except carolina lol
Raul G Yea Steve Smith was 37, congrats for Ramsey
Lmbo hahahahha ice up son steve Is a g for real
@@caldwmc Steve Smith was a dominant explosive wide reciver use to man handle all types of Corner backs
Josh Gordon was giving that man highlights when he was the CB for New England
Love this guy! He just understands the game, and what he needs to do to be a leader!
Great interview, great questions, real journalism
This interview was just smooth and refreshing.
Right! Not the biggest fan of Talib, but he Killed that interview. And Stan answered some funny, yet good questions.
Asked I meant.
“Fastest receiver” “Desean Jackson” respect to Talib 🦅🦅🦅🦅
Apparently he has not went up against Tyreek...
Jackson is faster
Lafferty Daniel - they literally play in the same division lol ofc he’s gone up against Hill
Chiefs Diehard d jax ran the 100m faster than hill

Great interview. Great questions great answers 👍
Good Interview & Great Questions...Talib Is A Baller On The Field
I remember Steve Smith Sr gave this cat the Blues!
Mighty Mouse gave a lot of cats the blues.
@@kathythompson5737 , Smith was,to quote guitarist Robert Cray,"such a strong persuader"!
Agent 89 raped this fool but he'll never give him props!
Gave him the blues? How many yards did he have? Less than 100

Was expecting a crazy interview but this was actually pretty good. Talib seems like a chill dude off the field
Great interview and questions
I respect Aqib Talib about 5x more after this interview CWA cornerback with attitude
How do you respect him smh
He's still a salty prick!! Not mentioning Steve Smith Sr was bullshit. He kicked Talibs ass every single time!! Ice Up Son!! Haha
Talib a baller but he a little bitch tho
@@JadenApril xactly
@Jasmine A because he's a bitch, everyone knows that. You clearly have never watched any Patriots, Broncos or Rams games pfff..
I'm surprised crabtree hasn't ever had but a couple 1k used year's. He was so good coming out of college it just looked like a lock.
And Calvin Johnson was a freak of nature and could've been by far greatest stats ever if he had been with the right qb and team plus stayed at it.
Great interview with The 4 Letter and agreed 💯 to all his answers😎
he hit those answers as well as anyone could, naming each player as they should be right in stride, that was solid.
My man Stan holding it down for the boot! We coming back stronger this year, Who Dat!
Louisiana strong
Oh, hell no! They can’t win in their division.
Real dude !!
Great interview. Can’t hate on these dudes until you see them off the field 🙌🏼🙌🏼
i always though aqib was a waste due to him getting physical with his opponents sometimes but after seeing this i think he has a good head on his shoulders and he sounds like hes very passionate about football. good man🤝
I thought that was Young Jeezy on the flyer I mean the thumb nail😅
Batman Pop's 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Does he sound like Nipsey or is it just me?
Red Cross yeah we draw blood
Great interview. I think Talib is a no doubt a hall of famer. Hell of an athlete
Very respeful and honest interview. Talib is a good one
Very Good Interview! Give Both Raise.
Aqib, what are your thoughts on Steve Smith?
Ran into Larry Fitz at Midway Chicago recently. Nicest dude ever but the best hands to ever grace the planet hands down. Great interview otherwise. Fully enjoyed
Hands down ? Does the name Chris Carter ring a bell ? L. Fitzgerald is still a matchup problem,but CC is number one with the hands,in my opinion.
Rodney Ringels Chris Carter said Larry has better hands so...
@@rodney8749 I was going to make the same comment as the guy below. Cris was awesome but he has admitted to Fitzy being better than him so I gotta go with that.
Spot on answers!
This is a great interview!
DeSean Jackson Needs 1 More 60+ Yard TD To Break Jerry Rice Record 🤯
@Shadow9220
He will get it. It's the only way he scores now.
Moss is the greatest deep threat ever and he didn’t need stickum to help him catch.
DaaBoys2138
According to statistics...Desean Jackson is the greatest deep threat ever.
Anthony Shepherd
Well if you can’t trust numbers then there are 0 facts to back claims on who is the best at anything.
What makes someone the greatest at anything if statistics lie?
@Anthony Shepherd women lie men lie... Numbers don't lie fam
Bald Andre Drummond
Please more interviews like this please & thank you.
I feel like he literally gave the best answers possible right off the top of his head

My bro Steve Smith gave him a long hard day and took his lunch
Jarret Wilson He got cooked by Ramsey lol
Jarret Wilson he had 60 yards and no touchdowns shut up
Great interview
Megatron!
I am surprised that Julio Jones was not mentioned, as I think he is one of the best, if not the best in the league. One on one no corner could touch Julio play making abilities.
probably because the question was what was talib's opinion going against those receivers lol
pretty sure bcs he rarely met him. before signing with Rams he was in AFC so once in 4 years
Calvin Johnson was what Julio is but bigger and faster
@@detroit4life1000 yeah I am a Falcons fan and people forget about Megatron. Julio is the best in the league right now because Megatron retired early.
FSU DirtyBirdzzz
Nobody in Atlanta forgets about Megatron.
Homey played his college ball in the A.
Sure,Calvin is bigger and faster than Julio but who has repeatedly led his team to the post season and not only played but played at a high level in the playoffs?
What a great interview honestly.
I knew it’d be AB! Say what u want but dude is a grinder
Yep. As a steelers fan I hated to see him go. Amazing player. But also a cancer in the locker room and possibly mental issues.
Alex Rocco I get where you’re coming from but you’ve gotta cut him some slack, he came from nothing and then was suddenly the best in the league with millions, of course his ego will be off the charts
@@WorkSmartNotHard He went to my college reaaon why i enrolled thought we were gonna be the Boise State of the midwest but egos lots of egos up in Mt. pleasant but we havent won anything since he left just chippa-choked 😢
@@WorkSmartNotHard yes you are correct. But he's had plenty of time now to "grow up" and instead he actually seems to be de-volving! A week after sabatoging his trade value and not showing any respect to the organization that drafter AND PAID him, he had the balls to talk about setting an example in Oakland. the dude was late for practice, games and abandoned his teammates before the last game of the year-with tremendous playoff implications too! It's amazing how a guy can go from being so respected to totally hated. I will always marvel at his abilities. But the grapes have soured for me on AB. Not that he cares....but its a shame for us fans.
@@alexrocco5224 He was a cancer because he ain't wanna be there lol
Remember him ripping off Crabtree's chain. Classic. Crabtree's best highlight in the nfl
Yeah behind Richard Sherman calling him a trash WR

I'm Thankful he said CJ! Man was just a Monster, Man among boys
This guy used to be a great DB when he was in Tampa.
He was better in Denver and Boston, and has been good every team he been on. The fuck you talking bout
I guess he forgot Steve Smith gave him that work too. "Ice up son"
Very well spoken, I didn't expect that.
About time, an interview with relevant questions
Shoulda said Steve Smith 🤧
