The broadcast said it best: Tarheeb Still is becoming a ballhawk.
Since being drafted in the fifth round this offseason, Still has emerged as a key component of the Chargers defense with Asante Samuel Jr. on injured reserve and Kristian Fulton, Deane Leonard, and Cam Hart all missing time at points this season.
Initially thought to be mostly a slot corner, Still has stuck on the outside for LA, coming into the week tied for the team lead with three interceptions. On Sunday, Still decided he was tired of being level with safety Elijah Molden.
After the Chargers tied the game at 10 midway through the second quarter, Still undercut a Buccaneers route and intercepted quarterback Baker Mayfield on the first play of the next drive, handing LA the ball back on the Buccaneers 27 yard line.
Still’s fourth interception of the year continues to cement his status as this year’s top rookie corner.
