Had three separate stints with the Buccaneers but only the latter two count towards the all-time roster as he was actually on the practice roster for the first 1987 replacement game but did not get to play. Got his chance in 1988 after Donald Igwebuike injured his hamstring and played in the final five games. Was also on the roster right at the end of the 1989 season and kicked off in the final road game that year but was eventually released at the end of that season. Wound up with a long NFL career with the Chargers and Saints and retired as one of the leading scorers in NFL history. Originally wore the 4 shirt in his first season but then switched to his more recognisable No.3 shirt in 1989.
