3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers who could make first Pro Bowl in 2019
By Dylan Grimm
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will provide opportunities for young players who have the chance to make their first Pro Bowl in 2019.
Many are expecting big things from Bruce Arians and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2019 season. With those expectations, new faces could rise to the top under a new regime and compete for their first Pro Bowl appearance this year.
Last year the Buccaneers struggled to a 5-11 record and as a result had only one Pro Bowl representative in Mike Evans while Jason Pierre-Paul was named an alternate. Evans, surprisingly enough, recorded an interception during the festivities last season.
Assuming Arians and new defensive coordinator and former New York Jets Head Coach Todd Bowles right the ship next season you should expect quite a bit of Pro Bowlers from the roster. Other past Pro Bowlers on the roster include Lavonte David, Ali Marpet, Jameis Winston, and Ndamukong Suh.
This piece will focus on players who, should they excel under the new regime and stay healthy, could be named to their first Pro Bowl as a Buccaneer in 2019. This roster is oozing with young talent and potential, and with the opportunities they will be given, Tampa Bay could be proud of a few more representatives at the Pro Bowl this season with Arians, Bowles, and offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich.
