Was originally a 1st round pick of the Saints in 1975 where he played three seasons in New Orleans (including the Bucs' first-ever win in December 1977) before being traded to San Francisco. Waived by the 49ers in July and claimed by the Bucs, he started the first four games of the season at guard before being played on IR with a knee injury. Did not make the 1979 team out of camp.
