MIKE ALSTOTT RETIRES

Mike Alstott has announced his retirement after 12 seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A neck injury that put him on the injured reserve list for the 2007 season is the reason for his retirement.

Mike was the ultimate goal-line fullback with his power running style and ability to break tackles. Mike is the Buccaneers all-time TD leader with 71 TDs (58 rushing and 13 receiving) and rushed for 5,088 yards (2nd on the Bucs all-time list). He was named to 6 consecutive Pro Bowl teams from 1997-2002. He helped turn the Buccaneer franchise into Super Bowl champions in 2003.

Congratulations to Mike Alstott on a great career!
