Lavonte David

As the only player on this list that is currently a Buccaneer, linebacker Lavonte David has been deserving of a Super Bowl victory for a while now. He may have a chance to do so before his career is over.

David is currently the longest-tenured player on the Buccaneers roster. His loyalty to the team alongside his incredibly high level of play makes him a definite lock for the Ring of Honor down the road like everyone else listed here.

While loyalty is only half of the equation that goes into a player “deserving” a Super Bowl victory on this list, David has also been a ridiculously underrated player in the NFL during his career.

As one of the top linebackers in the league for nearly a decade, David has consistently been overshadowed by players on larger-market teams. This has never been a fault of David, but a lack of success by the Buccaneers has robbed him of numerous individual awards.

The jury is still out on if David will ever receive this prestigious honor. Still, he has certainly put in the time and sacrificed enough to reap any rewards that come during the predicted resurgence that the Bucs will experience over the next few years, hopefully culminating with a Super Bowl win.
