After an offseason of additions to former Arians players from Arizona and talented rookies, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will have some heated camp battles.

Training camp is just a few weeks away, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have quite a few positions still up for grabs on their starting lineup. While positions such as tight end, quarterback, 4/5ths of the offensive line, and linebacker are pretty set in stone, the rest will be interesting camp battles to keep an eye on.

After a complete overhaul of the roster than included a divorce with defensive tackle Gerald McCoy, the Buccaneers are looking for a severe culture change. They have brought in guys like Ndamukong Suh, Shaquil Barrett, and Deone Bucannon who already have a role. First round pick Devin White has also been getting first team reps since day-one and looks to have already locked down a starting role next to Lavonte David.

The Buccaneers are looking to go from worst-to-first this year after firing Dirk Koetter and hiring Arians; just another area of overhaul. This new coaching staff, anchored by Arians, Todd Bowles and Byron Leftwich will look to get the most out of their players.

Expect a lot of young Bucs and rookies to also have a chance to win jobs this offseason. Here are the four most interesting camp battles to watch out for at training camp as the Buccaneers look to claw out of the bottom of the NFC South in 2019 under Arians.
