A little Throwback Thursday featuring QB Doug Williams

Take a look at some old highlights of former Bucs QB Doug Williams, who wore No. 12 for Tampa Bay long before Tom Brady.

Tom Brady will be able to keep his TB12 nickname after Bucs wide receiver Chris Godwin gave his No. 12 jersey to Brady and switched to No. 14

While Brady may be best known for wearing 12 in New England with the Patriots, he won’t be the first quarterback to don that number for the Buccaneers.

One of Brady’s No 12 predecessors was Super Bowl champion Doug Williams. Williams played for the Buccaneers for five years after being a first-round pick in the 1978 draft. After his stint in Tampa Bay, he went on to the Redskins and led the team to victory in Super Bowl XXII, earning Super Bowl MVP honors along the way.

In honor of Williams (and his days wearing No. 12 for the Bucs) here’s a little highlight reel for Throwback Thursday.
