Going into the season, it was unclear how the Buccaneers planned to use rookie wide receiver Emeka Egbuka. The first round pick was highly rated, and many expected he would eventually become the team's top wideout. However, the general consensus was that Egbuka would gradually grow in the Tampa Bay offense. After all, they already had veterans Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, along with a strong supporting cast that included second-year player Jalen McMillan and former Giants star Sterling Shepard.
Just five weeks later, Egbuka has put those narratives to rest. In an injury-ravaged Tampa Bay offense, he has clearly become the best weapon on the field.
