- It's not in any particular order.  I found it hard enough to make a Top 50, than to order them - here's my "honorable mentions list"

Brewer, Mike Greene, Wr Jalen McMillan, Wr Sterling Sheppard, Te Devin Culp, Ben Bredeson, Chris Braswel, Christian Izien, Og/C Graham Barton, Leonard Johnson,"

Actually, this has both honorable mentions and my original Top 50 list.  I can think of players I probably should have put in the honorable mentions list. And, as I was making my Top 50 and Honorable mentions list, my qualifications of whether to put a player in or not kept changing. Like, one qualification was "to be an original Buc."  Somebody who was drafted by the Bucs.  That would have disqualified Tom Brady for one, and Baker Mayfield.  I originally didn't put in Vincent Jackson, Joey Galloway, Chris Hovan, and so many others. This is just one example of how I was evolving as I was putting together a top 50. 

I definitely think my Top 50 is subject to debate. 

I didn't know we had Jeremiah Trotter as a Buc.  I don't remember seeing him play for the Bucs.  I do remember some guys that are lost ot history like Lb Daryl Smith. I remember admiring him from far as a Jaguar, and enjoying seeing him as a Buc.  There's a guy that is buried in history.  Chris Hovin was a beast for the Bucs. There's a lot of guys.  Keyshawn Johnson will be pissed at me. Dt Roy Miller was a favorite of mine that didn't make the Top 50. Last years guys like Graham Barton, Jalen McMillan and even Calijah Kancey are still way to early to be put on the Bucs top 50.  Yes, I really do think Baker Mayfield belongs Top 50 as I do believe Doug Williams.  He improved to 3000 plus yards seasons with not much to work with. I also consider him one of the all time . . . i'm talking NFL league wide . . . most talented Qb's of all time.

There were guys like Michael Bennett, and I'm forgetting the name of this one corner drafted in like 96/97 who played maybe one year and went to other teams and had great careers.  I can't put them on Bucs Top 50.  There's all kinds of stuff like this. Making a Top 50 was pretty hard as it was without putting them all in some order from 50th best to 1st overall. So, the Top 50 is of no particular order.
