Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 3 Players under the most pressure in 2019
By Rob Leeds
The 2019 season is full of expectations for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers across the board. Here are players under the most pressure due to said expectations.
Athletes in every professional sport play under an immense amount of pressure. Every game these players are competing for their very job, the survival of their team in a playoff race, or both. These expectations are felt by rookies and returners alike and they play a role in the pressure experienced by the team for the season.
With the 2019 NFL season quickly approaching the Buccaneers are starting to get some traction from team reports and analysts alike that Tampa Bay could be a dark horse candidate for an impressive season. This is all in spite of losing players like Kwon Alexander, DeSean Jackson, and Gerald McCoy. Even though these players have left Tampa Bay, the addition of Bruce Arians and Todd Bowles as coaches has inspired a sense of confidence in the team.
Having two great coaches in the Bay does bring a bit of pressure in it of itself in that players who have been on the cusp of being successful will now have no excuses for not playing up to their potential. This year is make or break for some Buccaneer veterans and also holds some rather large implications for some rookies too.
