Why the Bucs got it right with the selection of Calijah Kancey

The Buccaneers 2023 draft class is going to have much different expectations than what had been the ‘norm’ in recent years. The Tom Brady era is officially over and that means a lot for Tampa. For the draft specifically, it means there will be a major shift in the pressure on prospects the team brings in. Rookies of the previous three draft classes were walking into a ready-made team with a preset standard of playoffs and a run at a Super Bowl. That sets a rookie up with a significant burden to have early success.
