When thinking about Tampa Bay Buccaneers lore, what does the number 83 mean to you?
Pewter and Red Buc fans might equate it to Vincent Jackson, who is third all-time in Buccaneer receiving yards. Another possibility is Mark Carrier, a wide receiver from the Bucco Bruce years that is first in all-time receiving yards and second in all-time team receptions. Some may look to the 1983 season where the Bucs won five of their last six games, all comebacks wins with under a minute to play, to make the playoffs. This is where long time radio play by play voice Gene Deckerhoff dubbed the team “The Cardiac Kids”.
