Some questions remain regarding the final makeup of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' linebacking corps for the regular season. This does not appear to be one of them: "Can those linebackers make a big impact in 2017?"
The Buccaneers have stars at every level of their defense, including five-time Pro Bowler Gerald McCoy on the line and last year's NFL passes-defensed leader, Brent Grimes, in the secondary. Through the first half of the preseason, however, it looks like the linebackers will be the heart and soul of Tampa Bay's rising defense in 2017.
