84 Barry Burton Interesting combination of a tight end and punter who played in the final three pre-season games for the 1976 Buccaneers. Scored in the game againsit Miami. 87 David Grammell Was only a Buccaneer for a matter of days but they were memorable ones all the same as he racked up some frequent flyer mileage. Brad Jenkins Having been drafted, he announced that he had no intention of pursuing a professional football career and did not even attend camp. 80 Jack Novak Played the first two seasons in Tampa Bay as the back- up TE but also made three starts in that time too. Scored one touchdown in his career, against Kansas City.
