A first-round choice of Minnesota in the 1994 draft, Steussie played
seven seasons for the Vikings and then signed with the Carolina
Panthers as a free agent in 2001 after being released for salary cap
reasons. He then joined the Bucs in 2004. Steussie was released last
July for salary cap reasons, then was hurriedly re-signed by Tampa Bay
in August, when the team's offensive line was decimated by
injuries.
