At pick 176 overall, their lone pick in the fifth round, the Buccaneers have selected Auburn Tigers linebacker K.J. Britt. Britt provides depth behind Lavonte David, Devin White, and Kevin Minter for the upcoming season and beyond.
Britt, a 6’0”, 235-lb inside linebacker, was a four-star recruit out of high school. He’s not overly fast and tends to engage more in physical contact with blockers rather than eluding them, but he’s insanely strong and a big-time hitter. Britt was a captain of the Tigers, finishing his four year career at Auburn with 118 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, 3.
