Buc Standouts from Round Four

On Monday, Joe Kania looked at five standout NFL players who entered the league as the 109th overall picks in their respective drafts.  Three of those five – T Jon Runyan, DE Aaron Smith and RB Marion Barber – made it to the Pro Bowl during their professional careers.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who currently own pick #109 in the 2015 draft, have never before exercised that exact selection, but they did once find a Pro Bowler of their own at #108. That's where the team drafted Wake Forest center Tony Mayberry in 1990. Mayberry spent his first season primarily backing up long-time incumbent center Randy Grimes, then took over as the starter in 1991 and stayed there for the better part of a decade.
