Buccaneers Team MVP
This award speaks for itself. Who has been the most valuable player for the Buccaneers so far in 2013?
Winner: Lavonte David
Second Place: Vincent Jackson
Third Place: Gerald McCoy
David was the only player to appear on every ballot for MVP, and only one voter (Corey) had him lower than first. David has been a dominant player on defense and is playing at an All-Pro level in 2013.
Because Lavonte dominated the category, the remaining players didn’t receive many votes. Jackson and McCoy both received a decent amount of points and finish second and third, while Mark Barron, Tim Wright, and Demar Doston all received some votes as well.
