He was six-time Pro Bowl nods in nine seasons in NFL

Former Buccaneers DT Gerald McCoy, 35, announced his retirement on Friday. The six-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle was a dominant defensive lineman early in his career and earned himself six-consecutive Pro Bowl nods (2012-2017) in nine seasons with the Bucs.

The former No. 3 overall pick was named a first-team All-Pro in 2013 after generating a career-high 9.5 sacks. He also earned two second-team All-Pro nods (2014, 2016).

In nine seasons with the Buccaneers, McCoy earned 54.5 sacks — fourth-most in team history — 297 tackles, 140 quarterback hits, 79 tackles for loss, six forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries and 22 passes defended.
