Tampa Bay Buccaneers
When drafted in the first round by the Buccaneers in 2001, he was originally slated to play left tackle and protect the quarterback's blindside. However, after a sub-par rookie season he was switched to right tackle, where he found moderate success, starting at this position for the Buccaneer's
Super Bowl XXXVII victory over theOakland Raiders . Walker's penchant for being penalized when facing superior pass rushers has led many Bucs fans to label him a bust.
