Tom Moore Honored
Buccaneers' offensive consultant Tom Moore was recognized in Canton on June 28-29. Moore, one of 17 individuals, has been identified for Awards of Excellence under a program launched by the Pro Football Hall of Fame last year to honor significant contributors to the game of football. Moore, a transcendent figure who forged a profound influence on the game, has played an integral role in NFL history for decades. His illustrious career began in 1961 when he started working for his alma mater, the University of Iowa as a graduate assistant. That role sparked a love affair that has lasted a lifetime.
After 13 seasons in the college ranks, he entered the NFL in 1977 with the Pittsburgh Steelers, sparking a remarkable tenure that currently spans over 45 years. He appeared in the postseason 24 times, including 15 division title appearances, five Super Bowl teams and four Super Bowl rings (XIII, XIV, XLI, LV). Moore coaches for nine different NFL teams and returns to the Buccaneers' offensive staff for the 2023 campaign at the age of 84. During his unprecedented career, Moore has coached more Hall of Famers than any living person. Regarded as one of the greatest offensive minds in NFL history at the forefront of ingenuity, Moore has not only evolved with the times over a 45-year career but has reinvented the modern era.
