Was the main receiving threat in the first three seasons in franchise history and caught the first TD pass in team history from Louis Carter. Had been claimed
on waivers from Miami two games into the 1976 season and scored three times against them in their regular season meeting that year. Was the career scoring
leader and receiver in franchise history when his career with the Bucs ended after 1979. Never caught a pass in four games across two seasons for the
Dolphins having been their 5th round draft pick in 1975. Never played in the NFL again after leaving Tampa Bay.
