House Resolution No. by Representative Taylor commends Todd Bowles for his significant contributions to the National Football League (NFL) as both a player and a coach. Born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Bowles had a successful collegiate career at Temple University before being drafted by the Washington Redskins in 1986. Over his eight-year playing career, he primarily played safety, contributing to the Redskins' victory in Super Bowl XXII. Following his playing days, Bowles transitioned into coaching, starting at Morehouse College and eventually moving up to various NFL teams, including the New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, and Arizona Cardinals.

Bowles' coaching career culminated in his role as head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he led the team to a Super Bowl LV victory in 2021. Throughout his coaching tenure from 2011 to 2024, he achieved a record of 54-68, including three division championships, and gained recognition for his defensive strategies and player development skills. The resolution expresses the Louisiana House of Representatives' appreciation for Bowles' accomplishments and wishes him continued success in his future endeavors.
