The Buccaneers’ defensive line appears to have gone from a corps of little-to-no depth to one of great strength over the past two years. One player that seems to have been lost in the shuffle is defensive end George Johnson. Johnson was placed on injured reserve last season with a hip injury, causing him to miss the entire 2016 season after not recording a sack for the Bucs in 2015.
Some have speculated that Johnson won’t make the final 53-man roster given the talent and depth along the line, but that isn’t going to deter Johnson from busting his butt to improve and make an impact on a rising Bucs team in 2017.
