Only eight players have ever worn this number for the Bucs, five of whom have been kickers. Although kicker might actually be a misnomer for Dave Warnke who is in contention for being the worst player in franchise history after his one-game debacle in 1983. Obed Ariri took over the kicking job the following year and also the same jersey. Steve Christie had a two-year stint in the role in 1990 and 1991 but was somehow allowed to bolt for Buffalo in a Plan B free agency move in 1992. A long NFL career then followed. Chris Simms became the first non-kicker to wear No.2 for the Bucs when he adopted his college number in the pro game. He took over the starting QB job in October 2005 and led the team to their first post- season appearance in three years but spent his final two seasons recovering from the terrible spleen injury he suffered in 2006. Three recent specialists have worn the number and none lasted very long, Sam Paulescu five games punting in 2009 and just four each for kickers Kyle Brindza and Nick Folk before being released. Kyle Trask took over the jersey for the 2021 season but it took until the final game of his second season for him to see any action. Emeka Egbuka is the current holder of the jersey and had an outstanding rookie season having been a 1st round pick in 2025. BEST EVER TO WEAR No.2 FOR THE BUCS - STEVE CHRISTIE
