Profile
Played two seasons for Ray Perkins' squads as a nickel back and kick returner. Recorded three interceptions in 1988 without starting a game but remains in the Top-10 for kick returns in Buccaneer franchise history. Was originally a 3rd round pick (67th overall selection) of the New York Jets in the 1985 draft. Went on to play two further seasons for the San Diego Chargers after leaving Tampa.
