Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Bucs all-time touchdown leader spent the 2007 season on IR with a neck problem that was not related to a career-threatening injury that required surgery in 2003. He held little hope for a return, but still had difficulty saying his career was over. "Though mentally I feel like I can continue, physically I can't," he said. In 12 seasons, he rushed for 5,088 yards, second on the Bucs' career list. He also caught 305 passes for 2,284 yards and 13 TDs. ... For what it's worth, 7,325 players have played since 1990. Alstott is the 18th during that span to play 11 or more seasons with one team and retire with that team.
