Three things you need to know about new Buccaneers DE Anthony Nelson

With their fourth-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Buccaneers addressed their need for pass-rushing help by selecting Iowa defensive end Anthony Nelson.

Plenty of fans are up in arms because Tampa Bay didn’t address the defensive line in the first two days of the draft. But with their first pick of day three, the Bucs went for a guy who has drawn comparisons to one of their current pass-rushers: Carl Nassib. It should be interesting to see how the new defensive coaching staff looks to use Nelson, as he was more of a 4-3 defensive end prospect.
