TAMPA, Fla. -- For all the attention the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense got this offseason, the defense has stolen the show at the start of training camp, even before the pads have come on.
On Saturday, safety J.J. Wilcox picked off a Ryan Griffin pass that bounced out of wide receiver Freddie Martino's hands during 7-on-7s. Wilcox also swatted the ball away from tight end O.J. Howard on a jump ball from Griffin.
"He made a couple plays on the ball today, getting it out," head coach Dirk Koetter said of Wilcox.
