Until the ageless Joey Galloway came along in 2004, the only really decent receiver to wear this number was Bruce Hill. He was the second-ever Buc to exceed 1,000 yards in a season having emulated Kevin House in 1988. His career was cut short by injury after a great first two seasons. Charles Wilson posted one of the best receiving games in franchise history when he scored on two long TDs and had 176 yards on just four receptions in a 1994 game against the Rams. The rest of his career didn't amount to much more than that however. Gordon Jones was a high draft pick who never really panned out with the Bucs, and most of the other players on this list were quickly forgotten although Robb Thomas was a fan favourite during his short time with the Buccaneers. So it comes down to the ageless Galloway to take the honour for his three 1,000-yard seasons with the franchise and some memorable touchdowns in the process. The remainder of the receivers were non-contributors until Cameron Brate came along in 2014 and was one of the most effective red zone catchers in team history. He certainly comes close to taking the best-ever jersey away from Galloway but Joey’s performances were amongst the best in franchise history. BEST EVER TO WEAR No.84 FOR THE BUCS - JOEY GALLOWAY
