Selmon Impacted Current Bucs Players

September 6th, 2011

It’s always informative and entertaining when Tampa Tribune NFL writer eye-RAH! Kaufman takes to the sports radio airwaves, and today was no exception when Kaufman shared Lee Roy Selmon stories on The Fabulous Sports Babe Show on 1040 AM.

Kaufman talked about how Selmon was a “frequent visitor” to practice in recent years and his impact was reflected today by current Buccaneers.

Kaufman said Geno Hayes got choked up talking about Selmon in the locker room this afternoon. And Kaufman noted Aqib Talib was eager to talk about Selmon’s impact. Lastly, the Tribune scribe said Donald Penn shared a memory about how it impacted him early in his career when Selmon came up to him to tell him he’s been studying his play and praised his “great feet.” Surely, Selmon had studied his share of left tackles over the years.

Per Kaufman, the Bucs will pay tribute to Selmon before Sunday’s game, in addition to ceremonies commemorating Sept. 11.

Rest In Peace, Mr. Selmon.

    I’ll be at the game Sunday and as sad as it is, I’m happy I’ll be present for whatever ceremony the bucs have for him.

    Any word about a patch or other insignia on their uniforms for the season?

    The Bucs will wear something for the season. The team hasn’t announced what it will be yet.
