It’s no stretch to say the Buccaneers have needed more consistent front-four pressure for several years now.
The team drafted Calijah Kancey in the first round for that very purpose in 2023, and while he’s definitely been impactful the last two seasons (11.5 sacks and 21 tackles for loss in 26 games) and even led Tampa in sacks last year (7.5), availability has been an issue. The 24-year-old has missed 8 starts and left others early due to calf injuries, so he needs to remain consistently on the field to make that leap from good to great.
