The Buccaneers defensive line has a lot to prove going into this season.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have some impressive players on their defensive line, but the unit still has a lot to prove going into next season.
Pro Football Focus has been ranking every position group as training camp draws nearer, and the latest rankings focus on the various defensive lines of the NFL. The Buccaneers didn't grade well here, coming in at No. 20 out of 32 teams in the rankings."There is significant potential on the defensive line for Tampa Bay, but far more potential than guaranteed production. Vita Vea is by far the group's best player, and even Vea doesn’t consistently match his highlight reel.
The edge rushing room is a bit rough at the moment, too, but a promising Yaya Diaby could pair well with second-round pick Chris Braswell, and if the two perform in 2024, the team could see this ranking get a lot higher going forward.River Wells is a sports journalist from St. Petersburg, Florida, who has covered the Tampa Bay Buccaneers since 2023.
