Ball was a standout at the University of Illinois before he was drafted in the seventh round by the Dallas Cowboys in 2007. In five seasons with the Cowboys he appeared in 60 games with 21 starts and recorded 104 tackles and three interceptions.

The veteran cornerback then spent one year with the Houston Texans in 2012 before joining the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2013. In his two seasons with Jacksonville he started 22 games, recorded 59 tackles and three interceptions.

Ball signed a one-year deal with the Bears in 2015 and struggled with a foot injury early in the season. He appeared in 15 games with three starts and recorded just 13 tackles. He signed a deal with the Arizona Cardinals last offseason but was released before the start of the season.

Season 35 of Survivor will return to CBS this fall and will air on Wednesdays.
