The Buccaneers picked a total of six captains after having five in Lovie Smith's first year at the helm, and the reason was simple: The voting was just too close.
That was the case on defense, at least, where the team will put a "C" on the jerseys of Gerald McCoy, Lavonte David and Clinton McDonald. McCoy and David were both captains in 2014, as well, but McDonald obviously made an impression on his new teammates after arriving as an unrestricted free last year.
On offense, the Bucs re-elected wide receiver Vincent Jackson and paired him with Logan Mankins.
