Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 5 Defensive X-factors for 2020 season

2. Devin White

Devin White had a nice rookie season and he enters Year 2 looking for bigger things.

White and Lavonte David make up one of the best 1-2 punches at linebacker in the league and that group has to get better this time around. Specifically, White.

White has the potential to be a Pro Bowler and it’s going to be up to him to take the next step and find a way to stop the run up-the-middle and play that 3-4 system effectively. The one thing Tampa Bay can’t afford is a ‘sophomore slump.’

White is going to be transitioning into a leader on this defense and he’ll be tasked with taking a major step forward this season.
