Cam Gill Re-Signs With Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tampa, FL – The NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers have re-signed former Wagner College All-American and Super Bowl Champion Cam Gill.
 
Following a record-setting collegiate career that saw him earn consecutive Northeast Conference (NEC) Defensive Player of the Year and All-America honors, Gill was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Buccaneers following the 2020 NFL draft and earned a spot on Tampa Bay's roster in training camp before winning Super Bowl LV in memorable fashion.
 
Gill made a tackle on a kickoff with 7:25 to play in the third quarter, before combining with defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh in taking down Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes for a sack with five minutes remaining in the game. Gill was also credited with a forced fumble on the play.
 
The NEC's all-time sack leader spent the entire 2022 season on injured reserve after suffering a Lisfranc injury in his right foot in the preseason opener. Prior to his injury, he had been projected to be in the Bucs' four-man outside linebacker rotation prior to the injury after seeing an uptick in defensive snaps in 2021.
 
Gill finished his Seahawk career as one of Wagner's most decorated players ever, as he was named a STATS FCS First Team All-American, Hero Sports FCS Second Team All-American, Associated Press Third Team All-American, and All-ECAC First Team selection, while playing in the Prestigious East-West Shrine Bowl following the 2019 season. The Douglasville, GA native became the fifth player in NEC history to repeat as the league's top defensive player and finished his collegiate career as the conference's all-time sack leader with 34 career sacks. In 2019, the dynamic outside linebacker led the league with 9.5 sacks while accumulating 20 tackles for loss and 60 overall stops in 12 games. Gill also received an invitation to compete in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl while finishing as a finalist for the FCS' Buck Buchanan Award, the top defensive player in the country.
 
On the field, four former Seahawks were under contract in the NFL during the 2022 season, while a number of former coaches continue to represent Wagner at the highest levels of the sport.
