Buccaneers' Safety Rotation Picking Up

Through the first 10 days of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 2017 training camp, Chris Conte and Keith Tandy have been taking most of the first-team snaps at the safety position. That makes sense because both Conte and Tandy are incumbent starters from the previous season.

Of course, it's not really as simple as that. Conte and Tandy are returning starters, indeed, but essentially incumbents at a single position. Bradley McDougald, since departed in free agency, started all 16 games at one safety spot for the Bucs in 2016, while Conte and Tandy combined to log the 16 starts at the other one.
