Profile
Played the first five seasons in franchise history and served as the team's punt returner in the process only calling for seven fair catches in over 200 returns. Played some safety and caught three passes on fake punts and fieldgoals. Came to the Bucs on waivers from the Bengals in September 1976 having originally been a 3rd round pick of the Cincinnati organisation in 1975. Set an NFL record in 1979 by returning 70 punts in a single season and led the league in the same category the following year too. Had been with coach John McKay at USC and made 10 of his 12 starts in the expansion season at right cornerback. Never played in the NFL again after leaving Tampa Bay.
