Most people know about Tampa Bay’s starting front seven, but not many know about the guys behind them on the depth chart.
For starters, they’re all young and mostly inexperienced. The average NFL experience among Tampa Bay’s backup front seven (defensive line and linebackers) is right at 25-years-old. Only one guy is above the age of 30 and that’s Kyle Love, whom the Bucs just signed nine days ago.
Therefore, it’s absolutely crucial that the Bucs build some sort of depth behind its front seven before the season starts. If a Vita Vea, Devin White, Shaquil Barrett —or any of the other starters— were to go down, it could set the defense back in a big way.
