Buccaneers: Examining the Hall of Fame case for Ronde Barber

Two members of the legendary 2002 Buccaneers defense already have a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It’s time for another key part of that unit to get his spot. And while he may be deserving as well, I’m not talking about John Lynch. Ronde Barber should be the next man up. No. 20 transformed the slot corner position, put up impressive numbers and brought home the accolades to back those up. His accolades over the years should all lead to the ultimate reward: a Hall of Fame bust in Canton.

The slot cornerback position would’ve never been what it is now without Barber.
