BUCPOWER.COM was created in January 2002 and has had over 100 million hits since its inception. It has and always will
be free to access and is the definitive source of historical information on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for fans worldwide.
DE Tim Crowder (40) has the most
games played from the three former
Bucs with birthdays on June 30th. He
was signed during the 2019 season and
went on to play 41 times for Tampa Bay
making 13 starts over the next three
seasons.
DE Vinny Curry (37) was supposed to
be a prized free agent pass rush
acquisition in 2018 but failed to impress
in his one season and was released
after that year and went back to the
Eagles.
CB De’vante Harris (32) played in 10
games that same season making one
start in his only Tampa Bay campaign.
You have all seen various selections for the best Buc players by position over the first 50 years,
some almost accurate. Now comes the start of the definitive roster from the start of Tampa Bay
football in 1976. Position by position, starters and back-ups. From someone who has seen every
Buc game either live or on video. This roster is just from players’ time with the Bucs - past
reputations and performances are not regarded.

THE NEXT POSITION - THE SPECIAL TEAMERS
Two of the most iconic plays in franchise history were on special teams, Micheal Spurlock’s kick
return and Vernon Turner’s punt return. Both of those players make our roster along with Karl
Williams and Clifton Smith. Selecting the two specialist coverage players was a little harder but
both Jeff Gooch and Jim Obradovich are worthy choices for the all-time roster.
