Former All-Pro cornerback Aqib Talib has made the transition to the broadcast booth, but he’s getting some mixed reviews from fans.
On Sunday, Talib made his second appearance in the booth for the Eagles-Cardinals game, and he clearly has a distinct sound.
Aqib Talib is doing the Az-Philly game.
I haven’t heard enough to know if he is good or not, but you know he’s doing the game. He’s got a different sound.

Talib began trending on social media on Sunday afternoon and they were some pretty strong reactions about his commentary during the game.
Who on on God’s Earth decided Aqib Talib should be a broadcaster

Aqib Talib is announcing like he didn’t study for the test and is just winging it #PHIvsAZ
