The NFL has lost a living legend. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost their '95 Hall-of-Fame inductee and first-ever draft pick to make it to the then-expansion franchise. The Tampa Bay community lost someone who meant a lot to them, from restaurant entrepreneur to various charity work. Lee Roy Selmon exemplified greatness beyond his 9 years with the Buccaneers, He simply went forth in reaching out to the people as a great human being. In the 56 years he lived, he fulfilled his mission. And now it's time for God to call him up to heaven ... Regarding the cementing of his legacy, Selmon will forever be immortalized as one of the many NFL greats that made the league what it is today. That part right there is 'football heaven.' He earned that one. The Bucs certainly will have him in their hearts come regular season. They'll win for Lee Roy :)
