Greg Skaggs enters his second season with the Buccaneers in 2020 working as the team's Director of Athlete Performance.

Last year, Skaggs helped develop a program to optimize player performance and safety while collaborating with the medical services team who will implement evidence-based recovery protocols and evaluate factors to help predict and prevent future injuries.
Skaggs came to the Buccaneers from the University of Oregon, where he served as the Director of Athletic Medicine from 2007-20019. Prior to being hired full-time with the Ducks, Skaggs spent 10 years in private practice as a family practice and sports medicine practitioner in Oregon and worked with the University of Oregon Athletic Medicine Department part-time for three years.
A Wisconsin native, Skaggs complete his undergraduate degree at Creighton University before attending the University of Virginia, where he obtained his medical degree and completed his residency.
