BY IRA KAUFMAN
In keeping with five decades of Buccaneer football, I am counting down the 50 most notable players in franchise history. The lone criteria is their production in a Buc uniform.
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. 42 – Mark Carrier
No. 41 – Donnie Abraham
No. 40 – Cadillac Williams
No. 39 – Joey Galloway
No. 38 – Kevin House

No. 35 – Michael Pittman
No. 34 – Leonard Fournette
No. 33 – Donovan Smith

No. 30. Baker Mayfield
With 69 TD passes in his first two seasons under center in Tampa, Mayfield already ranks seventh on Tampa Bay’s career list, only 11 behind No. 3 Josh Freeman. His 100.7 passer rating as a Buccaneer is No. 1, ahead of Tom Brady, and Mayfield set a franchise mark last season with a 71.4 completion percentage. Mayfield’s 19 wins are halfway to the club record for quarterbacks, accomplished by Trent Dilfer in six years. [read more]
