#47 Retires

By JC De La Torre

John Lynch has officially retired from the NFL...

Check out Lynch's speech from One Buc Palace here on NFL.com

This was the man hall of famer Barry Sanders said hit him the hardest. This was the man who destroyed his own brother-in-law on a sideline route, knocking him out of the game. This was a man who was the brains and unquestioned leader of the Buccaneer defense during its heyday of the late nineties and early 00's. He, along with Warren Sapp, Derrick Brooks, Ronde Barber and Hardy Nickerson created what is now known today as BUC BALL.

And here is a great video package that shows why all Buccaneer fans love John the Lynch Mob!

Good luck in your future endeavours #47. We love ya, man!
