Played three seasons with the Bucs as a back-up running back and special teamer having been obtained in a trade with the Bengals prior to the 1979 season. Also played in the 1983 USFL season with the Boston Breakers having originally been a 4th round pick of the Bengals in 1976. Was nicknamed "Tough Tony" in college, a moniker he disliked as it made him a target of the opposing special teams' squads.
