After an offseason that left the rest of the NFL stunned, the should be feeling pretty good about themselves heading into training camp. Tampa Bay was able to make league-shaking moves this offseason by signing six-time Super Bowl champion to a https://www.shoppistonsedge.com/detroit-pistons-jeresy/richard-hamilton-jersey contract and executing a trade for tight end (while in the proce s luring him out of retirement). Not only that, but the Bucs were able to retain a number of key players on the defensive side of the ball including , , and Shaq Barrett.All this now puts Tampa Bay in legitimate Super Bowl conversations, which is especially tantalizing when factoring in that the franchise will be the host city for Super Bowl LV in February. Of course, this all brings tremendous expectations for head coach Bruce Arians and everyone else on the roster to live up to in 2020.The Buccaneers will need to be a well-oiled machine out of the gate, which makes training camp all that more important. On top of getting Tom Brady up to speed, there are a handful of positional battles that will be worth keeping an eye on as August rolls on.1. Tight endTampa Bay has no shortage of talent at the tight end position, but it will be fascinating to see what the pecking order is. Rob Gronkowski is by far the most decorated player of the Bucs trio, but O.J. Howard is a former first-round pick and has shown the ability to produce at a high level as well. Really, this will be determined by what version of Gronk went down to Florida. The 2018 version of the future Hall of Famer did seem to lose a step over the course of his final year in New England. You could say that was due to injury, but if he continues on that decline and isn't the generational player he was during his glory days with the , Howard and Brate could see extended snaps. All three of these players should see the field plenty as head coach Bruce Arian noted this offseason that Tampa Bay's which means that there will be two tight ends on the field at the same time. Arians even kept open the po sibility of running "13 personnel https://www.shoppistonsedge.com/detroit-pistons-jeresy/louis-king-jersey " and having three tight ends out there at times. With that in mind, training camp may simply determine how the tight end masthead is structured. 2. No. 3 receiver and are firmly set as 1A and 1B on Tampa's wide receiver depth chart. It's behind those two Pro Bowlers where a battle for the No. 3 receiver is set to take place. In 14 games played (four starts) for Tampa Bay last season, veteran , who has since signed with the , caught 36 pa ses for 645 yards https://www.shoppistonsedge.com/detroit-pistons-jeresy/jordan-mcrae-jersey and six touchdowns as the Bucs No. 3 receiver. Of course, a lot of that production came at the end of the year when Perriman was thrust into the starting lineup following injuries to both Evans and Godwin, but this position has the potential to be a productive one nonethele s.The Buccaneers did draft receiver in the fifth-round of the 2020 NFL Draft out of Minnesota. He'll compete against and second-year receiver Scotty Miller. I would say that Miller has the inside track to claim that spot out of the gate after catching 13 pa se in 10 games played 2019 for 200 yards and a touchdown. Watson, meanwhile, logged 159 yards receiving over 16 games. 3. Running backThe Bucs backfield was already going to be an intriguing battle to close out the summer, but it of running back . The veteran, who spent the 2019 season with the , is now set to compete against , , and rookie , who was Tampa's third-round pick of the 2020 NFL Draft out of Vanderbilt. Jones was the Buccaneers leading rusher in 2019, totaling 724 yards on the ground with six touchdowns. He also hauled in 31 https://www.shoppistonsedge.com/detroit-pistons-jeresy/bill-laimbeer-jersey receptions for 309 yards receiving.Vaughn, meanwhile, is looked at as a po sible pa s-catching option for Brady in the backfield. At Vandy in 2019, he totaled 1,298 yards from scrimmage and 10 touchdowns. The rookie was recently placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list which may delay him getting acclimated to the NFL, but, if he's able to catch up to speed, Tampa will give him plenty of opportunities to succeed.4. CornerbackSimilar to the offensive side of the ball at the tight end position, defensive coordinator Todd Bowles will be looking to determine a pecking order at cornerback. , , and will all see a solid amount of time in the secondary and all could see starting action depending on what kind of lineups Tampa Bay will roll out in 2020. That said, a hierarchy does need to be hammered out and a starting rotation for traditional two-corner sets. Davis started in all 14 of his games played in 2020 and led the team with 19 pa ses defended. Meanwhile, Dean was right behind him with 17 pa ses defended and Murphy-Bunting led the team with three interceptions. 5. Safety likely has one of the starting safety positions locked up in the Buccaneers secondary. He was third on the team in tackles (69) in 2019, Pro Football Focus ranked him second among all safeties in total pre sures and also graded him as the second-best pa s-rushing safety https://www.shoppistonsedge.com/detroit-pistons-jeresy/andre-drummond-jersey in the league. It's the other starting safety spot that is worth some attention. , who was selected in the second round of the 2020 draft, will likely get every opportunity to claim that spot. During his final collegiate season at Minnesota, Winfield Jr. totaled seven interceptions, 83 tackles, and three sacks. and will be his biggest threat to start out of the gate. Both started at various points in 2019. Edwards totaled 45 tackles and six pa ses defended, while Adams logged 46 tackles and an interception. is another name to keep an eye on, but the former second-round pick hasn't been able to stay healthy and was just placed on the PUP list.
