Dansby barely slipped into the second round after recording five interceptions across his final two seasons at Auburn. Then, he immediately became a difference-maker in the NFL, recording 61 tackles, five sacks, and an interception as a rookie.
Dansby spent his first six seasons with the team that drafted him and twice had 100-tackle seasons along with 99 in 2007. However, his best season in Arizona came after he left for three years and returned in 2013 and was named second-team All-Pro with 122 tackles two of his sick career pick-sixes.
Over his 14 years in the NFL, Dansby recorded 1,422 tackles 43.0 sacks, 20 interceptions, and 20 forced fumbles.
