The Bucs announced Tuesday that the late Malcolm Glazer and former coach Jon Gruden would be this year's inductees into the team's Ring of Honor, and Gruden, speaking on SiriusXM NFL Radio, said the nod will be very special to him.
"It's humbling for me to even consider being up there with some of the greats," said Gruden, who was the coach for the Bucs' Super Bowl victory in January 2003, beating his old team in the Raiders in San Diego.
Gruden's relationship with the Bucs goes back well before his days as a head coach — his father, Jim, worked with four Ring of Honor inductees with the Bucs as part of coach John McKay's staff, working with Lee Roy Selmon, Doug Williams and Jimmie Giles.
