Bruce Arians offered strong praise for running back Gio Bernard this week, calling the 9th-year veteran’s performance “more than pretty good.”
One of the few outside additions to the Buccaneers’ Super Bowl-winning roster this offseason, Bernard will look to fill the role of backfield receiving threat, which nobody really claimed last year. Such a player proved critical to Tom Brady during New England’s dominant run throughout the 2010s, with James White, Dion Lewis and other prominent players proving to be lethal options.
“The best thing about him is he’s the ultimate pro,” Arians said of Bernard.
