One of two replacement players, Brian Gant being the other, who made the regular roster for the rest of the season when the 1987 strike ended after three
games. Was named the NFC's Defensive Player of the Week for his two-interception game against the Lions that included a TD and wound up leading the
Bucs in interceptions for the entire 1987 season. Started the season finale against the Colts and had a career-high 12 tackles in the game. Was a late cut of
the 1988 camp and never played in the NFL again. Also played in the CFL for Toronto in 1986. Originally wore the 26 shirt as a replacement and then switched
to 24 when a regular player.
