3rd round pick 1982 Retired after the 1990 season
One of the most popular Buccaneer players ever during his nine seasons on the defensive line playing both tackle and end and was a solid dependable lineman throughout his career. Was a regular starter for four seasons and although he only posted big sack numbers in his first three seasons, did a reasonable enough job against the pass and run. He was always one of the first to contribute in charity work whilst a Buccaneer and ranked in the top 10 in games played when he retired.
