Looks like some old Bucs are getting some love.

Anwar Richardson of the Tampa Tribune reports that five former Bucs are have been nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The fab five are: quarterback Doug Williams, linebacker Hardy Nickerson, punter, the late Reggie Roby, offensive lineman Lomas Brown and offensive lineman Randall McDaniel. The latter three only had a cup of coffee with the Bucs.

The final list of nominees that will be considered for election will consist of the 15 modern-era finalists and the two previously announced senior nominees, Bob Hayes and Claude Humphrey. Hayes and Humphrey were selected this past August by the Hall of Fame’s Senior Selection Committee.

The nominees will be whittled down to a list of 25 sometime in November. Then, the list will be paired down some more to about 15 for a final ballot to be voted upon the Saturday before the Super Bowl in Tampa, Jan. 31.
