Quarterbacks
Jack Berry Was the 17th round and final pick out of that passing powerhouse that was Washington & Lee university. Never even made it as far as camp. 17 Bill Cappelman Was a former 2nd round pick of the Vikings in 1970 but had seen little NFL action before signing with the Bucs as a free agent. 19 James Foote Came from semi-pro ball to try out for the Bucs but never made the team. Had been a 17th round pick of the Jets in 1973. 13 Larry Lawrence Ranks last in Buc passing stats from throwing five passes and completing only two - both to the San Diego Chargers. 10 Gary Valbuena Never drafted nor did he ever play in the NFL. Was on the roster for several of the pre-season games but never got in to play.
10 Bill Bowerman Undrafted rookie who did actually get on to the field in the opening pre-season game but was released shortly afterwards. 18 Parnell Dickinson Made one start during 1976 and completed all four passes before getting hurt. Also saw action in seven other games. 5 Terry Hanratty Went from the Super Bowl Steelers to the expansion Bucs and made one start against his old team no less. With no success. 12 Steve Spurrier Now more famous as a coach than the starting QB for the worst team in pro football history. Made 12 starts during the year.
