The NFL is back this Sunday! Ok, even if it’s just a day, the Buccaneers along with every other franchise will be very interested in what transpires on the third day of the annual scouting combine.

The Buccaneers have certainly gathered a lot of data by now, but the parade of drills continues as the defensive linemen and linebackers take the field Sunday afternoon to show the league what they can bring towards building a championship roster.

For Tampa’s squad, they have one of the best young linebacking duos in the entire league and found off-season gold when they signed free-agent Robert Ayers and drafted Noah Spence in the second round of last year’s NFL Draft.

This year, the team will likely look to bolster the defensive end position with even more talent and should be eyeing some interior line depth to go with it.

At linebacker, I’d be surprised to see a pick at the position in either days one or two of the selection meeting, but crazier things have happened.

Without further delay, let’s take a look at five guys I’m watching extra close as possible targets for the Bucs.
