Linebackers

  • Carl Nassib
  • Levonte David
  • Devin White
  • Deone Bucannon
  • Noah Spence
  • Anthony Nelson
  • Kevin Minter
  • Devante Bond
  • Shaquil Barrett

Devin White has looked worth every bit of the #5 overall pick that the Bucs made him in the spring. He will pair with Levonte David, once he returns from a knee injury, to create a very good starting duo at inside linebacker. Minter provides solid depth as a more physical and downhill player while Buccannon is faster and better in coverage. Bond will provide good depth as well as be a core contributor on Special Teams. Nassib, Spence, Nelson, and Barrett will make up the rotation at outside linebacker with the athletic Nelson having the highest ceiling of the group.

Player to watch: Jack Cichy
