Spent parts of two seasons with the Bucs having been signed in mid-1983 to cover a rash of injuries. Had originally been an 8th round pick of the Oilers in
1983 before being released in the final cut by Houston. Missed the first seven games of the 1984 season with two broken toes sustained during the pre-
season. Originally wore the 56 shirt in 1983 and then switched to 59 in 1984. Returned to the NFL to start two of the three replacement games for the Detroit
Lions and played against the Bucs in Week 3 of that campaign.
