1. Warren Sapp

There really was no other choice for number one, was there?

Warren Sapp was selected with the 12th overall pick of the 1995 draft and was a staple on the Bucs defensive line for the next nine years. Starting in 1996, Sapp never posted a season of less than six sacks until 2003. In short, he was a one-man wrecking crew. His best season came in the year 2000 when he posted 16.5 sacks, good for second in the league.

He earned a trip to the Pro Bowl every year from 1997-2003, the end of his time in Tampa.

His 77 sacks over nine years rank him at the top of the Bucs all-time list and make him the only choice for number one.
