Three former Tampa Bay Buccaneers players were selected as Pro Football Hall of Fame semi-finalists for the class of 2018: John Lynch, Ronde Barber, and Simeon Rice.
Lynch has made it to the semi-final for years on end, and even made it to the finalist group for the last four years in a row. Unfortunately, he keeps getting bumped at the last minute. Perhaps things will be different this year.
Barber hasn’t made it to the finalists yet, mostly because this is his first year of eligibility. The former cornerback deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, but it’s going to be difficult for him to get there.
