Entering the NFL for the first time is a shock to the system of most rookies. The rookie class of the Buccaneers is no different. Forget the fact that they are getting paid to play the game for the first time. They have to play against players that are as good as they are, which didn’t happen a lot in college. No more dominating the game simply by stepping out onto the field. They have to learn the speed of the pro game. These players must earn it more than ever before.
When you are a first round pick, it becomes that much harder.
