Profile
Started 14 games during 2003 having missed two in the middle of the campaign through injury. Had another solid season in 2002, his 10th in the NFL and once again headed to Hawaii to represent the NFC. A perennial Pro Bowler and one of the most popular Buccaneer players ever. A seven-year starter at strong safety, his hard-hitting nature has gained him fans around the NFL. Won the Bucs UK's Favourite Player Award for three straight seasons from 2000 to 2002. Released in March 2004 in an unpopular move with the fans, but one necessitated by his large salary cap figure for 2004.
Pro Bowl selection 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002.
Selected as the 6th Greatest player in Buccaneer history in 2007.
