Offensive MVPs

C Ryan Jensen

When the Bucs signed Ryan Jensen, they did it with the hope that he would change the mentality of their offense and offensive line. Jensen has brought his attitude to the team and didn’t back down from any opponent.

Jensen will stand up for his teammates and ensures that the Bucs are no longer going to be pushed around. His no-nonsense approach played a vital role in the offensive outburst to open up the season.

The run game isn’t where it needs to be just yet, but the toughness is there up front for the Buccaneers, credit Jensen for that.

WR DeSean Jackson

Seeing DeSean Jackson finally dominate in this offense brings such joy. His speed works absolutely perfect with the rest of the Bucs weapons.

Now that Winston has returned to the starting role, I’m curious to see what this offense could do. With Winston’s talent, the offense could be even better. His rocket arm could lead to more explosive plays from Jackson, who already sits among the league leaders in receiving yards.

Jackson has snagged 17 passes for 424 yards. He leads the league in yards per receptions at a 24.9 clip. The veteran wideout has rejuvenated his career.
