1. Devin White

Capping off our list is the former No. 5 overall pick ILB Devin White.

The Buccaneers drafted White with one idea in mind- him stepping in, making an immediate impact and eventually developing into a Pro-Bowl type player.

There’s no reason to believe that White can’t take the next steps in becoming that level of a linebacker during the 2020 season.

White will continue to play inside with Lavonte David and will get traffic funneled his way as opposing rushing attacks look to run away from David.

Next. Updated win totals has Tampa as a playoff lock. dark

Look for him to have more than 100 tackles on the season and to take a major step forward in his second season with the franchise.
