On the defensive side, Vita Vea stood out with seven sacks and 10 tackles for loss, earning him the title of defensive MVP. Other notable players like Calijah Kancey, Lavonte David, and Zyon McCollum also had strong seasons.
Special teams player Chase McLaughlin continued to impress, going 30-32 on kicks and earning a spot as the first alternate for the Pro Bowl.
As the season comes to a close and free agency and the draft approach, fans can reflect on the standout performances of players like Bucky Irving, Cody Mauch, and Ben Bredeson. Despite the ups and downs of the season, the Buccaneers have much to look forward to in the coming year.
