[1] Gruber spent his entire National Football League career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 1988 to 1999.
Over his 12-year career he appeared in 183 games, starting all of them, which was a Buccaneers record until Derrick Brooks broke it in 2007.
He missed the last part of the 1999 season, in which the Buccaneers advanced all the way to the NFC Championship Game, due to a broken leg.
