Ten days into training camp thus far for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and six players are on their revenge tour as they look for redemption.
It has been the year of redemption for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The first step to redemption of a franchise is overhaul, and the Buccaneers certainly accomplished that. A brand new coaching staff led by Bruce Arians, Todd Bowles, and Byron Leftwich was brought in to turn around the culture.
Big named players such as Gerald McCoy and Brent Grimes are no longer on the team or in the locker room either after being significant contributors for the Buccaneers. It truly looks like the sun is beginning to rise over One Buc Place once again after back-to-back 5-11 seasons and 11 years without a playoff appearance.
On top of the overhaul, however, the Buccaneers have kept around a significant amount of players who have not proven their worth to the team yet and have given them another chance. These players looked to be at their wits end with the previous coaching staff, but have been given new life under Arians.
It all means relatively nothing until they can prove it on the game field, and they will have the opportunity to do so on Friday as the Buccaneers travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers. Here are five players who are redeeming themselves with strong performances thus far at camp.
