Head coach Todd Bowles and GM Jason Licht have quickly turned over an aging roster, rounding out a group of veteran stalwarts with talented young players.
The three-time defending NFC South champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers had the Miami Dolphins in for some relatively-light work on Wednesday. . But you could still see the makings of a really good, complete team. Here are five takeaways from the time I got with them …
• Mike Evans and Chris Godwin are, and have been of course, entrenched at receiver. But there’s a lot to be excited about behind those two. Trey Palmer flashed his potential as a big-play threat last year, and Jalen McMillan, the third of three Washington Huskies wideouts drafted in April, has quickly shown he belongs. He has the smarts, tenacity and toughness to play out of the slot right away. But the best story of camp might be undrafted free agent Kameron Johnson out of tiny Barton College.
• On defense, YaYa Diaby, who escaped an injury scare earlier in camp, is trending toward being the team’s best pass rusher. An athletic freak at 6’3” and 276 pounds with 4.5 speed, Diaby came into the league a bit raw after being deployed as an inside rusher a lot in college. That said, he had enough as a rookie to register 7.5 sacks, and has really developed as a powerful, cat-quick edge player.
