Pewter Report debuted a new season-long weekend feature last season called Fifth Down that showcased some of the Bucs players each week to reveal what they are like off of the football field. We decided to bring it back for 2017 and this week in The Fifth Down we spoke with with fullback Alan Cross.

The Fifth Down is sponsored by Ford’s Garage.

Question: Who has been the toughest player you’ve faced in the NFL or college?

Answer: “Toughest NFL opponent I would have to say Von Miller. He was probably one of the fastest guys I’ve ever had to go up against. I wouldn’t say fast. More like quick. I would have to say him. Hard to square up and hit.”

Bucs DT Gerald McCoy

Question: If stranded on a deserted island with a teammate, who would it be?

Answer: “I’d have to say either Cam (Brate) or Gerald (McCoy). Cam is just always a good guy to get a laugh from. It’s easy to make him laugh. Gerald just because we could always talk about comic books or there would always be something fun to talk about. I’m not a comic book guy, but I like listening to people that are really into it talk about it.”

Answer: “I would say Dale Earnhardt. I would bring him back just to talk about old times and how racing used to be back in the day and how he got to where he did.”Dale

 Question: What is the worst song that you could possibly get stuck in your head?

Answer: “Any Justin Bieber song. If I had to pick, probably that ‘Baby’ one. It’s like, ‘Baby, baby, baby.’”

Ford’s Garage is a Prime Burger and Craft Beer restaurant. Not only do they have Black Angus but Kobe Beef and Bison. The unique design and vibe is that of a 1920’s service station. Our authentic Ford Model T’s are suspended over the bars and outside the restaurants.  Happy Hour is from 11-7 Monday-Friday, and they offer a premium well pour that is $4.00 all day, everyday. Their premium well consist of Stoli, Bacardi, Tanqueray, Jim Beam and Cuervo.
