Profile
Had a couple of seasons in his five-year Buc career as the main tackler and most well-known force on the Tampa defense. Known as "The Sandman", he was eventually cut in June 1994 in a cap-related move but one brought on by his lack of pass-coverage ability. His 1991 season in which he recorded nearly 200 tackles and had 11 sacks, deserved to be rewarded with a Pro Bowl berth, but the Bucs' lack of success kept him from Hawaii. Went on to play for the Cowboys and also hit the news when he tried to board an internal flight in the US with a loaded handgun in his luggage.
Selected as the 40th Greatest player in Buccaneer history in 2007.
