Perhaps the greatest pass rusher in the history of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has been immortalized today in downtown Tampa Bay. A statue of Buccaneer great Lee Roy Selmon has been unveiled at the corner of Brorein and Florida to signify his significance to the city as both a Buccaneer and as the Athletic Director of the University of South Florida.
The Athletic’s Greg Auman documented the special occasion today as Selmon’s family gathered in memory and celebration of Selmon. A necessary and fitting way to show what Selmon, potentially the most influential athlete in the history of the city of Tampa Bay, means to the community.
