Was the heart and soul of the Buccaneer defense for nearly a decade and one of the finest players in franchise history. Had six straight Pro Bowl selections from 2012-2017 and finished his Buc career 4th all-time in sacks. Was also a team leader off the field and several times was the Buccaneer nomination for the Walter Payton Award. Was signed to the largest contract in franchise history when he extended his rookie deal in 2014. Released in a salary cap move after the 2018 season and bounced around the NFL with injury issues before finally retiring in 2021.
