By Zach Schonbrun
In 1976, in the midst of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 0-14 season, head coach John McKay was asked what he felt about his team's execution. "I'm in favor of it," was McKay's famous response.

Graves' dad, the legendary Tom Graves, was an All-American runner at Auburn in the late 70s and early 80s, and still has his name draped all over the Tigers record books.
