He’s also a great route runner that CBs would have a hard time covering so LBs don’t have a chance. Then there’s the value he adds in the return game, flipping the field for the offense. HC Dirk Koetter and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could use a player like McCaffrey.

After his drug suspension, I don’t think RB Doug Martin will be with the Buccaneers much longer. The defense started to come around last year and should continue to rise this year. So adding McCaffrey to an offense with WRs Mike Evans and DeSean Jackson will take the Buccaneers to the playoffs.
