Vontae started his football career at Dunbar High School in Washington D.C. and was ranked the No. 33 cornerback recruit in the nation.
He was selected as the 25th overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, plating for the Dolphins, Colts, and Bills. He was a two-time Pro Bowler with 396 tackles, 22 interceptions, and two sacks. He abruptly retired in the middle of a Bills game in 2018.
