One of the greatest Buccaneer players ever and a vocal team leader and inspiration on the Super Bowl-winning defense. Was
always a fan favourite around the NFL and had five Pro Bowl selections during his time in Tampa Bay. A nine-year starter at strong
safety, his hard-hitting nature moved him into a regular starting role in 1995. Was released in 2004 in an unpopular move with the
fans and went on to play several seasons with Denver before moving into a successful career with Fox Sports and then as GM of
the San Francisco 49ers. Elected to the NFL Hall of Fame in 2021 and is also a member of the Buccaneers Ring of Honor.
