“Finally, a relevant Super Bowl player,” Fitch said, tongue firmly in cheek. “We’ll be watching Succop. Everything else is irrelevant.”
Succop, 34, was drafted last in 2009 and played five seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, then seven more years with the Tennessee Titans. The Buccaneers signed him as a free agent in September and he had one of his best statistical years, making 90.3 percent of his field goals.
Despite his success in the league, Succop has embraced his role as Mr. Irrelevant. Two years ago, when the draft was in Nashville and he was with the Titans, Succop helped announce Caleb Wilson, a tight end chosen last.
