Trade with Baltimore - 1976 Retired after the 1984 season
Started at cornerback for the first nine seasons in franchise history and remains one of the all-time franchise leader in interceptions. Was obtained by the Bucs in a trade prior to the 1976 season with the 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 FG return in 1978. Had a game-clinching interception on MNF in 1982 that ultimately led to this site being created. Sadly passed away in December 2021.
