TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are enjoying rare depth at the wide receiver position, creating one of the more intriguing battles of training camp and giving quarterback Jameis Winston options he's never had in the passing game.
Mike Evans was the most targeted receiver in the league last year, with 171 passes thrown his way. While his Pro Bowl talent certainly warranted a lot of attention, it meant defenses would key in on and double-team him since there was no considerable threat on the other side.
That's not ideal for an offense trying to grow under a third-year quarterback, one that's averaged 20-22 points a game over the last two seasons.
