One of the most legendary players in Tampa Bay Buccaneers history, Hall of Fame cornerback Rondé Barber turns 49 years old today, so let’s celebrate by looking back at some of the best plays from his incredible 16-year career.

A third-round pick in the 1997 NFL draft out of Virginia, Barber was an afterthought early in his career, but he eventually became a revolutionary player who redefined what it meant to be an impact player at the cornerback position.

A big-play machine, Barber finally received his long-awaited place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame last year.

Here’s a look back at all the best plays from his legendary career:

WATCH: Every catch from Mike Evans’ career so far

Take a trip down memory lane with every catch from Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans’ career so far

When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers spent the No. 7 overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft on Texas A&M wide receiver Mike Evans, they were hoping to get a dominant pass-catcher who could make big plays in the passing game.

What they got was the best offensive player in franchise history.

A future Hall of Famer, Evans has topped 1,000 yards receiving in each of his 10 NFL seasons so far, and currently sits just six touchdown receptions shy of 100 for his career. He’s caught double-digit touchdowns in five of his 10 seasons, and made five Pro Bowls.

If you’ve ever wanted to watch every catch from Evans’ career so far, you’re in luck.

And yes, it’s two hours long.

Relive all of the top plays from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during the 2023 NFL season

The 2023 NFL season was supposed to be a trip back down to earth for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who had made three straight playoff appearances and won a Super Bowl with Tom Brady at quarterback.

But after replacing Brady with Baker Mayfield, the Bucs made the doubters look silly, making a fourth straight trip to the postseason, and winning a third consecutive NFC South title.

There were tons of big plays along the way, as Mike Evans notched his 10th straight 1,000-yard season, and the rest of the team delivered enough highlight-reel moments to propel them to the divisional round of the playoffs.

WATCH: High school mixtape for Wisconsin basketball top signee Daniel Freitag

Excitement level for Wisconsin basketball signee Daniel Freitag next season?

Wisconsin basketball is in a state of flux at the moment.

Leaving the program are veteran big man Tyler Wahl and star guard A.J. Storr — Wahl due to graduation and Storr via the transfer portal. Greg Gard does return a ton of backcourt talent, including Chucky Hepburn, John Blackwell and Max Klesmit. But the roster is experiencing turnover before a critical 2024-25 season.

One bright spot entering that season is top signee Daniel Freitag.

The Bloomington, Minnesota native is 247Sports’ No. 114 player in the class of 2024, No. 10 point guard and No. 2 recruit from the state of Minnesota.

Wisconsin’s lost production could be made up in part by Freitag excelling in his first collegiate season. He has all of the talent in the world, and could become an accomplished Badger — at least given health and him not entering the portal.

Fresh Coast Hoops released a new mixtape for Freitag after his high school career recently came to a close. If you need any excitement about the upcoming years of Wisconsin basketball, here it is:

Freitag headlines a Wisconsin class of 2024 that finished ranked No. 57 in the nation with only two commits.

Happy Birthday Ray Zellars!

Happy birthday Ray!

Birthday wishes go out to former Notre Dame running back Ray Zellars today.

Zellars spent from 1991-1994 in Notre Dame’s backfield, getting the vast majority of his playing time as a junior and senior.  He totaled 1,135 career rush yards and nine touchdowns at Notre Dame.

The most memorable of those nine scores came in his senior year against Purdue as his run is still talked about in certain circles.

Heck, one of our staffers here at Fighting Irish Wire called it his favorite Notre Dame play of all-time.  If you haven’t seen it before or would just like to watch it again (who wouldn’t?) then check out below.

The Pittsburgh product would go on to spend four years in the NFL, rushing for 11 career touchdowns between stops in New Orleans and Cincinnati.

Happy birthday Ray!
