Horace Copeland’s iconic backflip TD celebration

During his four seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, wide receiver Horace Copeland had a flair for the dramatic in the end zone

During the Creamsicle years of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, there wasn’t much to cheer about for long stretches of time.

One of the few entertaining moments throughout the mid-1990s came from wide receiver Horace Copeland, who would nail an impressive backflip in the end zone every time he scored a touchdown.

Copeland spent four seasons with the Bucs, appearing in 58 games with 28 starts. He finished his career in Tampa Bay with 115 receptions for 1,977 yards and seven scores, averaging a whopping 17.2 yards per catch.
