Lavonte David announced as Buccaneers’ 2019 Rooney Sportsmanship Award Nominee

You could say things are looking up for Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker, Lavonte David. Long thought of as one of the more underrated players on this squad, David has taken center stage this season with the departure of guys like Gerald McCoy and Kwon Alexander.

He and free-agent acquisition Shaquil Barrett have helped the Bucs defense usher in a new era of front-seven aggressiveness fans of the team have been hoping to see for years now. The return of veteran Jason Pierre-Paul has only increased the excitement surrounding the group, while Devin White represents an exciting look into the future of what the Buccaneers defense could become.
