3. Mike Edwards

Mike Edwards is a guy who has shown nothing but improvement during his career.

He will be entrenched in a battle for the starting position at safety this coming season with Antoine Winfield Jr. coming into the organization, but there’s nothing but promise in front of the second-year defensive back.

Edwards shows great athleticism, physicality and versatility that make him an intricate part of this Buccaneers defensive backfield.
