TAMPA, Fla.(AP) — Hall of Famer Lee Roy Selmon is the first
inductee into the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Ring of Honor at Raymond
James Stadium.

The 1979 NFL Defensive Player of the Year was saluted Sunday
during halftime of the game against the Green Bay Packers.

Selmon was the top pick in the 1976 draft, the first-ever
selection by the Bucs, who lost every game in their inaugural
season. Three years later, he helped lead the team to the NFC
championship game.

Thirty players and coaches from the 1979 team, including Doug
Williams and Selmon’s brother Dewey, attended Sunday’s ceremony.
The Bucs wore throwback jerseys.

Selmon retired after the 1984 season. He finished with 78 1/2
career sacks and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame
in 1995.
