Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers DT Gerald McCoy

Gerald McCoy will be best remembered for his nine years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He racked up 54.5 total sacks and earned six Pro Bowl honors during his stint with the NFC South franchise.

He made a name for himself as a disruptive force in the middle of the defensive line who always pressured the opposition quarterback.

The defensive tackle then had a one-year sojourn with the Carolina Panthers in 2019 and put up five sacks, but injuries became an issue in the aftermath.

McCoy signed with the Dallas Cowboys in 2020. However, the team released him before the season to undergo surgery on the ruptured right quadriceps tendon he suffered during practice.

He then joined the Las Vegas Raiders in 2021, but featured in just one game for the team during the course of the season. McCoy missed the 2022 campaign due to injury and decided to call it quits in April 2023.
