DE John Cannon celebrates his 65th birthday on July 30th. He was a 3rd round pick in 1982 who played over 120 games for the Bucs across nine seasons and was a real fan favourite during his time in Tampa Bay.DL Randy Crowder (73) played three seasons from 1978-80 having been released by Miami, S Sonny Gordon (60) played seven games in 1987 and WR Stephen Starring (64) had six games in 1988 but cost the Bucs a 3rd round pick for the dubious honour of acquiring him.We also remember QB Jeff Komlo who played in 1983 and P Reggie Roby from the 1995 season, born on this day but sadly no longer with us.
THE QUARTERBACKS Now comes the most contraversial selection on the roster, the starting quarterback. First of all, Baker Mayfield has not done enough to by-pass Brad Johnson for the No.3 spot and it sums up the franchise that neither of the first overall selections would come anywhere close to being considered. But Doug over Tom? It comes down to what Doug Williams meant to the turnaround of the franchise in the early days. Yes Brady won a Super Bowl with the Bucs but you have to throw out all previous exploits and passing numbers cannot be compared. So on this roster, the GOAT will wear the baseball cap backwards on the sideline behind the real best No.12 Buccaneer.Click here for all the players selected to the roster
