 Profile
One of the finest players ever to wear a Buccaneer uniform. Started for most of his nine seasons in Tampa Bay and had two monster seasons in 1984 and 1985 in which he was the Buc offense. Went to the Pro Bowl on the back of this and in 1984, almost set an NFL record for combined rushing/receiving yards in a season. Ranks first in franchise history in receptions and set an NFL record with 43 carries in a single game in 1983 and an NFL record in 1984 with 492 rushes/receptions in a single season. Went on to play briefly for the Redskins and Lions on leaving Tampa Bay, but remains the finest running back the franchise has ever had.
