Hall of Fame DE Selmon in 'extremely critical condition'

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Officials say former Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Lee Roy Selmon has been hospitalized and remains in 'extremely critical condition.'

University of South Florida spokesman Michael Hoad also tells the St. Petersburg Times on Friday that the 56-year-old Hall of Famer is being treated at St. Joseph's Hospital.

Selmon, who once served as athletic director at the University of South Florida, was drafted by the Buccaneers in 1976. He went to six straight Pro Bowls and was the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 1979. He left the team after the 1984 season because of a back injury.

Selmon played college ball at Oklahoma, winning the Lombardi Award and the Outland Trophy in 1975.
