First impressions matter and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie class hasn’t made a strong one.
The new crop has garnered significant playing time, but it hasn’t translated to much success. From the high draft picks to the back end of the class, Bucs rookies have undergone their fair share of struggles.
General manager Jason Licht’s first selection of Vita Vea was a head-scratcher at the time. The Bucs had former All-Pro Gerald McCoy on the roster. Tampa Bay also signed a pair of veteran tackles to compliment him.
Still, Licht pulled the trigger on the Vea, and he hasn’t gotten off to the start that many had hoped.
