On an episode of The Ronde Barber Show, while breaking down the Buccaneers‘ 2025 draft class, Barber starts the analysis of 2nd-round pick Benjamin Morrison by stating, “I love him, right…”
But he very quickly pivoted to making a bold, yet clear, statement to the Bucs rookie regarding something special to the Hall of Fame cornerback and Bucs legend.

“He’s not getting my number, by the way, just putting it out there right now.” Light heartedly poking fun of a similar situation in which Abdul Carter had asked for Giants legend Lawrence Taylor’s infamous 56 jersey in which he got shot down.
Can’t blame the man who shut down the vet and transformed the nickel position forever for wanting to keep number 20 to himself. Morrison will need to find a new number in the NFL. Barber would go on to gush about how versatile and dynamic Morrison is, noting his subtle aggression, length, and size.
Could the legend be predicting the next great Buc in the secondary?
