Warrick Dunn is the reason I started liking the buccaneers. Followed him when I was a young lad on FSU. Followed him to tampa.
quickly fell in love with alstott sapp lynch brooks barber among others.
unfortunately Dunn left soon after but of those teams (sans Dunn) I’d say toss up between lynch and Brooks.
being born and raised in Michigan I grew up going to u of m games. Started watching around the time Brady was there. In the nfl I was more or less neutral about brady. Like most kind of sick of NE winning all the time(like kc now lol) but once he signed here? Quickly became a big fan.
Current roster has to be awj. I love his game & how he did tyreek in the Super Bowl.
baker quickly getting up there too. Dude has some serious swag.
how about you?
Lee Roy and LVD.
Honorable mention to Brady, as he’s going to be a major factor in LVD and Evans getting into Canton.
100% Double Nickel Brooks. An unstoppable force in his days and incredible person off the field. Fortunate to have had a couple interactions with him. He wins on performance and character.
if character was only factor and NOT time with the Bucs, it would be Dunn. Hard to imagine a more incredible person, if you know his story from Louisiana to FSU and then on to the Bucs and beyond. Talk about living a life the right way.
Digressing a bit, but the Tony Dungy impact is hard to understate. If you can get someone like SAPP to say he’d take a bullet for you …(almost) that is REALLY saying something about a coach. AND it’s not just SAPP it’s everyone from that era. That Bucs team came close to being a dynasty but even falling short they were really something.

I don’t really think of Brady as a Buc. Grateful and incredibly impressed by what he did for the Bucs but think of him as a Patriot.
that said it’s impossible to give him enough credit for the SB win because he came in and completely transferred the attitude and expectations of a lot of players. Literally, lifted the team to his incredibly high standard. Rare, rare thing to see. Amazing

yeah no doubt. I didn’t expect a Super Bowl year one but wow. I will never complain about our two sbs but both teams were built could’ve won multiple.
Despite both of their short times here crazy but our best 2 qbs in franchise history have been in the past 4 seasons, no?
longevity aside what Brady did at his age for this franchise can never be understated/undervalued. Basically changed the mentality of this team.
baker doesn’t have the playoff results(yet) but about to make his 2nd pro bowl in 2 years. Would be in the mvp discussion if we had 7 or 8 wins atm.
Started liking the Bucs as a teenager because of Alstott and Dunn.
Favorite Bucs: Derrick Brooks and Mike Evans... And it's not really that close.
Honorable mentions: LVD, Sapp, Barber, Rice, Godwin, Wirfs.
Oh and I loved watching Vincent Jackson but those years weren't great for Bucs fans.
Past: Derrick Brooks and John Lynch
Present: Baker Mayfield Currently
Mr. Derrick Brooks, definitely ... followed by two Mikes, Alstott and Evans.
Became a Bucs fan when my wife and I moved here in 2010.
