DL Isaiahh Loudermilk Got His Opportunity Sunday Against The Bucs, ‘And I Kind Of Ran With It’

DL Isaiahh Loudermilk has had to learn how to ride the wave early in his young NFL career.

Loudermilk was expected to come into 2022 and make a leap after unexpectedly seeing more paly time than most envisioned for him as a rookie last season. After seeing Stephon Tuitt miss the entire season as well as having Tyson Alualu go down in Week 2 with an ankle fracture, the former fifth-round pick out of Wisconsin was called upon to play meaningful snaps in what was supposed to be a redshirt campaign for the developmental defensive lineman.

Loudermilk represented himself well in 2021, playing in 15 games and started two of them and finished the season with 23 total tackles, a sack, and three PBUs.
