5. Brad Culpepper

Here is a player that didn’t have a long career with the Bucs, but over a three-year period, was a dominant rusher from the inside.

Culpepper was selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the tenth round of the 1992 draft. He arrived in Tampa Bay in 1994 and make his mark as a starter at left defensive tackle. Over his first three years in town he racked up 9.5 sacks, but his production amped up in 1997.

That year he posted 8.5 sacks. He posted three sacks on two separate occasions in 1997, both times against the Arizona Cardinals in victory. He followed that up with a nine sack performance in 1998. His best day that year came in a two sack performance in a win over Green Bay. 6.5 sacks was the number in 1999, marking his final solid year getting to the passer with the Bucs.

33 sacks in six seasons with Tampa Bay, an average of over five sacks per year, earns him the number five spot.
