That proved to be an anomaly. The Bucs played their starters in the preseason finales for the rest of Dungy's tenure and for the first four years with Gruden at the helm. Once it became a commonplace thing for teams to use their fourth preseason games as one final showcase for young roster hopefuls, starting quarterbacks started to get a week off before the regular season. And that led to some interesting names starting under center for the Buccaneers.

Since most of those games were started by the primary backup at quarterback, there are some very familiar names on the list, including Josh Freeman, Luke McCown and Mike Glennon. In fact, Glennon started four preseason finales in a row (2013-16)! But that list also includes Rudy Carpenter and Brett Ratliff, two names that only made a fleeting mark in Bucs history. Ryan Fitzpatrick started the preseason finale last year.

Will Ryan Griffin join that list in this year's preseason finale? Maybe! We'll have to wait and see. But it's okay that I don't have the answer because nobody actually asked me that question. What you did ask me about can be found below. Let's get to your questions.

A reminder that you can send questions to me anytime you want on Twitter (@ScottSBucs) and they're easier to find if you include the hashtag #SSMailbagBucs. As you'll see from time to time, I also unilaterally appropriate for myself – as any good pirate captain would – questions I like that are meant for our Insider Live show or are simply responses to one of my previous tweets. I've also taken to stealing emails meant for our Salty Dogs podcast, and I did that again this week. As always, if you specifically want to get a question into the mailbag and would prefer to email your question, you can do so to tbbsocial@buccaneers.nfl.com.

Fantastic podcast last week! Who do you think is the most underrated Buc of all time?

Thanks!

As you can tell, I've swiped another question from my Salty Dogs inbox. Bobby, if you're reading this, rest assured we will also discuss your question on the podcast next week. This will just give me a head start on finding the best answer so that I can look a lot smarter than my co-host, Jeff Ryan. He prefers to be confronted with the questions cold each week. I like to do a little research.

Actually, I say "research" but since the concepts of being underrated and overrated are pretty subjective, I think the first thing you do with a question like this is go with your gut reaction. And the very first name that popped into my head when I read this one question was Karl Williams.

Williams joined the Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent out of Texas A&M-Kingsville in 1996. He made the team and slowly gained a foothold in the offense during his rookie campaign before also taking over the return duties later in the season. Not satisfied by what they were getting out of draft pick Nilo Silvan or midseason replacement Marvin Marshall, the Buccaneers tried Williams on punts and kickoffs and the results were incredible. Williams averaged 21.1 yards on 13 punt returns and 27.4 yards on 14 kickoff returns and even scored just the second punt return touchdown in franchise history.

So that's how it began for Williams, and he forged a career that was good enough and long enough to make him pretty memorable for Bucs fans, I would think. He was on the Super Bowl team in 2002, so that helps. But did you know that of all the receivers in franchise history, Williams has played the most games as a Buccaneer. Yep, 115, which puts him 18th among players at all positions for the team. The only other receiver to play in at least 100 games for the Bucs – in his case, exactly 100 – is Gerald Carter.
