Brent Omar Grimes (born July 19, 1983) is an American football cornerback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Shippensburg University, and signed with the Atlanta Falcons as an undrafted free agent in 2006.
Prior to playing for the Falcons, Grimes was allocated to the Hamburg Sea Devils of NFL Europa. Following a championship run with the Sea Devils, Grimes would go on to play for Atlanta from 2007 to 2012. In the 2012 regular season, Grimes suffered an Achilles injury, that would eventually be a factor in Atlanta not re-signing him. During the 2013 offseason, Grimes signed with the Miami Dolphins, and went on to have a season that was worthy of some comeback player award consideration.
Grimes was signed as an undrafted free agent out of Shippensburg by the Atlanta Falcons on May 16, 2006. Grimes was waived by the Falcons during training camp due to a groin injury. The Falcons then re-signed Grimes on January 10, 2007, and allocated him to play overseas in NFL Europa. Grimes was shipped around from the Amsterdam Admirals to the Rhein Fire, before settling with and playing for the Hamburg Sea Devils. He starred for the Sea Devils, leading the team's defense in World Bowl XV. Grimes and the Sea Devils were victorious in the World Bowl championship, defeating the Frankfurt Galaxy.
