Playoff Lenny is a thing of the past. After the Buccaneers cut him earlier in the offseason, then subsequently signing Chase Edmonds, Rachaad White is currently planted as the top running back on the roster. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
Offensive coordinator Dave Canales had a front row seat to White’s coming out party in Germany when the Bucs beat the Seattle Seahawks and he certainly liked what he saw - but the NFL is no longer a league that focuses on single back systems.
And for a team that seems dedicated to the run - as Canales, Todd Bowles, and Baker Mayfield have all stressed throughout different points of the offseason, a running back is a major need for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
