Black was best known for his time with the Gators, where he racked up numerous honors, enjoying a career year in 2010. That season, he was named an AP Second-Team All-American and consensus First-Team All-SEC at his position.
Black’s signature moment with the Gators, however, came during their BCS National Championship game against Oklahoma in 2009. Black made an incredible INT against Sam Bradford. We still shake our head at that INT.
After his time in Gainesville, the Lakeland product was drafted by his hometown Tampa Bay Buccaneers but failed to make much of an impact, starting only three games in three seasons.
As for the future, there has been no official word on what he plans to do next.
