Alstott was regarded as one of the league's best power runners during his career, known for running over defenders and breaking tackles. In his time, the six-time Pro Bowler and four-time All-Pro was one of the few fullbacks who still carried the ball on a regular basis. Alstott is the leading scorer among non-kickers of the Buccaneers and he leads his team in touchdowns as well. Alstott holds the Buccaneers team record for touchdowns scored with 76 and was well-known as a team player.

He was a member of the Buccaneers team that won Super Bowl XXXVII (2003), played at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, CA. Alstott had an impressive performance in the game, rushing for 15 yards and a touchdown, the first one in that game, and the first Super Bowl touchdown in Tampa Bay Buccaneers history. He also caught five passes for 43 yards.

Alstott was not always a star player in the NFL. In fact, he played his first two NFL games with the name on the back of his jersey reading "Alsott" due to an oversight by team management.

Alstott signed a one-year contract to stay in Tampa Bay for the 2005 season, and signed a similar contract at the conclusion of the 2006 season after contemplating retirement. However, he spent all of the 2007 season on injured reserve because of neck problems, leading to his retirement on January 24, 2008.

In the summer of 2007, shortly before he suffered his season-ending and ultimately career-ending neck injury, Alstott appeared in a television commercial for ESPN Fantasy Football along with then former Falcon Warrick Dunn, who was later signed by the Buccaneers.

He was ranked #10 on the NFL Network's "Top Ten Power Backs".
