The first 25 years of the 21st century contained the most successful seasons in Tampa Bay Buccaneers history – a tapestry being slowly untangled from the largely painful memories of the 1970s-90s and re-weaved into one of the more illustrious and respectable amongst the NFL at-large.
While there was still a great deal of agony, embarrassment, and general discontent from the mid-aughts through most of the 2010s, Bucs Nation has two Lombardi trophies and some all-time greats with which to revel.
Let’s do our best to pull from the history books of recent past and present to form an all-quarter-century roster to rival any other’s in the NFL.
