The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are set to induct a new name into their ring of honor, and that person’s name is Paul Gruber. 

“I think it’s an honor just because of the guys I’m going in with” said Gruber to 620am WDAE’s Tom Krasniqi.

Gruber, a fixture at left tackle, spent his entire 12-year career with the Buccaneers. He started in all 183 games he played, ranking as the fourth-most games played and third-most games started in team history. One of the most decorated players in team history, he was named a two-time team MVP (Tampa Sports Club, 1992; local media, 1994), the team's Ed Block Courage Award winner (1995), first-team All-Pro (USA Today, 1996), two-time second-team All-Pro (College and Pro Football Newsweekly, 1990; Associated Press, 1992), two-time All-NFC selection (United Press International, 1989; Football News, 1990) and a Pro Bowl alternate in 1997.

Gruber telling 620WDAE that he’s excited about the ceremony coming on Sunday afternoon at Raymond James Stadium.

“I’m looking forward to seeing a lot of teammates.  A lot of names that you sort of forget about and people I haven’t seen for years” Gruber said.  “It should be fun.”

Gruber becomes the fourth member of the Buccaneers Ring of Honor, joining Hall of Fame DE Lee Roy Selmon, Head Coach John McKay and TE Jimmie Giles.

The Bucs and Chiefs game is blacked out on local television.  Catch all the action only on 620am WDAE beginning with a  1:00pm kickoff.
