BEST BUCS PLAYER

Mike Alstott

No. 40 has been the team´s fan favorite for quite a while. He wins our poll even though he missed most of last season with a neck injury. The A-Train´s rock ´em sock ´em style of running over would-be tacklers, twisting and bulling his way into the end zone, has provided some of the Bucs´ top highlights in recent seasons. Probably another reason Alstott nabs our Best Buc award is that he has truly embraced Tampa Bay as his own; he´s out and around, and accessible to folks. You might see him on the next boat over, his fishing line in the water. And he´s the kind of guy who´ll wave back.
