Emeka Egbuka silently proved the opposite of what the critics are saying

When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected wide receiver Emeka Egbuka with the 19th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, everyone knew that the Bucs were trying to build a true juggernaut offense around quarterback Baker Mayfield with a wide receiver trio of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Egbuka alongside 1,000 yard back Bucky Irving anchoring the backfield.

And when everyone was healthy, the Buccaneers were flying. They began the season as one of the best offenses and one of the best overall teams in the NFL, looking like a possible Super Bowl contender with many tabbing Baker Mayfield as an early favorite to win MVP over the Holy Trinity of Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, and Lamar Jackson.
