2. Simeon Rice

The number two selection was led by Tony Dungy during some exciting times.

Simeon Rice joined the Bucs in 2001 after spending his first five years in Arizona. He posted 51.5 sacks with the Cardinals before coming down to Tampa Bay. Upon arrival, he terrorized quarterbacks left and right. Rice posted double-digit sacks every year through 2005. Take a look at his sack numbers in each of those seasons: 11, 15.5, 15, 12, and 14.

Now that is a pass rusher, ladies and gentlemen.

Rice did some of his best work in the playoffs, posting four sacks the year the Bucs won the Super Bowl, including two in the big game.

He was named to the Pro Bowl in 2002 and 2003. He was awarded first team All-Pro honors in 2002.

His 69.5 sacks are good for second in team history, and second on this list.
