Profile
Started at cornerback for the first nine seasons in franchise history and ranks second in interceptions by a Buccaneer, his record of 28 only being passed recently by Donnie Abraham. Was obtained by the Bucs in a trade prior to the 1976 season with the Baltimore Colts having originally been their 3rd round pick in the 1975 draft. Scored four touchdowns in his career, three on interception returns and one on a blocked fieldgoal return in 1978. It was his interception against Miami on Monday Night Football in 1982 that preserved the win for the Bucs and led to my becoming a Buccaneer fan.
Selected as the 28th Greatest player in Buccaneer history in 2007.
