Ronde Barber is finished. Sixteen years after he was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the third round of the 1997 NFL Draft, Tiki's twin brother has decided to call it a career. The five-time Pro Bowler holds the records for most consecutive games started by an NFL cornerback and most quarterback sacks by an NFL cornerback and recorded 47 interceptions, 13 forced fumbles, and 12 touchdowns during his storied career.
