With the 2020 NFL Draft over and most free agency waves residing, here are the biggest positional battles to watch with the Buccaneers in 2020.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are going to have an extremely contentious training camp, as will every other team in the NFL. With the offseason being disrupted by COVID-19, every player will try to make a name for themselves in as short a time as possible.

Numerous players are fighting for the ability to stay in Tampa Bay. In addition to the younger players who are hoping for roster spots, there will also be fierce competition over the starting jobs across the team.

The Bucs used several draft picks on starting-caliber players and signed several others. With only a few big names departing this offseason, the entire situation has become a recipe for some entertaining battles.

The veterans and other established players may have the best shot to win out based on prior experience, but with the win-now mentality being so prevalent, there is a good chance that some rookie players could get the nod based on their talent.

Regardless of who is the starter or the backup, these positional battles will make the incumbents and the challengers better players. As the saying goes, “iron sharpens iron.” Here are the most entertaining matchups to watch during camp and the rest of the preseason.
