Before we get to the question posed, let’s just reflect on that list right there. I had quite a few takeaways from it:

  • There are four guys with multiple appearances: Jermaine Phillips (2006, 2007), Aqib Talib (2009, 2010), Gerald McCoy (2012, 2014, 2018) and Lavonte David (2013, 2017).
  • McCoy, who was recently released by the Bucs, is the only three-timer on the list.
