Gregory Keith Horton (January 1, 1951 – November 11, 2016) was a professional American football player who played offensive lineman for the Los Angeles Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Little did he know he would take part in an amazing sports story, the "Worst to First" ride of the Bucs, from 0-26 expansion losers to 10 points away from a Super Bowl; in only 4 years.
Unlike previous years, the 1979 Tampa Bay Buccaneers came into the season with two important things; A 4th Ranked Defense in 1978, and a Quarterback named Doug Williams who was capable of throwing the ball downfield.
Tampa Bay ended up losing to the Los Angeles Rams, Horton's former team.
The next season Tampa Bay used a draft pick to select Ray Snell out of Oklahoma as a Guard.
