Linebacker-(6)

Daryl Smith, Kwon Alexander, Lavonte David, Devante Bond, Luke Rhodes, Jeremiah George

The linebackers of the Bucs’ may be again one of their strong suits.  Lavonte David and Kwon Alexander will continue to make opposing teams fear them, along with newcomer and veteran Daryl Smith.

Devante Bond was drafted to replace Smith once his time has come.  Jeremiah George made a name for himself last year due to his special teams play, which could help him keep his job.  Luke Rhodes is an undrafted rookie who was loved by the Bucs’ linebacker coach, which could help give him an edge above the rest of the competition.
