Bucs found a late-round gem in DT David Logan in 1979 draft

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- One of the best players in Tampa Bay Buccaneers history was one of the last players drafted in 1979.

David Logan was still available when the Bucs were picking in the 12th round of the 1979 draft, so they chose the former Pittsburgh defensive tackle. There were 330 players drafted that year, and Logan was No. 307.

He gave the Bucs first-round value, though.

Logan played eight seasons in Tampa as a nose tackle and ranks 10th in franchise history with 624 tackles and third with four defensive touchdowns. The Bucs also list Logan with 39.
