In his weekly Pick Six, our good buddy James Yarcho said it best when he called the Buccaneers season “interesting”. It was a season that not only had highs and lows, it had extreme highs and lows.

At 3-5, we saw a team that was reeling, and ready for the season to hit the absolute bottom. A five-game winning streak brought them right back into playoff contention. Unfortunately, after going 1-2 in the last three games, the Bucs fell a bit short.

But what, specifically, should fans be excited about? What will make you guys pumped up for 2017? Here are five reasons to look ahead to next season with excitement.
