Josh Freeman

Josh Freeman is the quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Selected in the first round (17th overall) of the 2009 draft out of Kansas State, he became the Bucs' full-time starter in his second season. He passed for 25 touchdowns with just six interceptions in 2010, leading the Bucs to a surprising 10-6 record one year after the team went 3-13. It marked the biggest single-season turnaround in team history. In 2012, Freeman passed for 4,065 yards and 27 touchdowns, both single-season franchise records.
