One of the best trades in Buc history as in return for a 7th round pick in 1989, Buffalo gave up a player stuck on their bench who went on to start for three and a half seasons at inside linebacker for the Bucs. A real team-leader, he was also extremely popular with the fans during his four years in Tampa Bay too. Lost his starting spot to Jesse Solomon a month into the 1991 season yet handled his demotion with total class and dedicated himself to special teams' play for the rest of the year. Played one year in San Diego in 1992 before retiring from the game. Passed away in 2021.
