In honor of a half-century of Buccaneer football, I’m counting down the Top 50 players in franchise history, based solely on their accomplishments with the franchise. This week, we continue at No. 35.
No. 50 – Mark Cotney
No. 49 – Mike Washington
No. 48 – Richard “Batman” Wood
No. 47 – Aqib Talib
No. 46 – Ricky Reynolds
No. 45 – Keyshawn Johnson
No. 44 – Ricky Bell
No. 43 – Vincent Jackson

No. 35. Michael Pittman
Pittman played four years with the Cardinals before the Bucs signed him as a free agent in 2002, shortly after Warrick Dunn departed for Atlanta. Pittman played a key role on a championship team, saving his best for last by rushing 29 times for 124 yards in the Super Bowl rout of the Raiders. He led Tampa Bay in rushing in each of his first three seasons as a Buccaneer and still ranks sixth in career rushing yards and ninth in career receptions. [read more]
