Sean Murphy-Bunting is a guy that I’m really high on heading into the season.

Murphy-Bunting is set to become a full-time starter this season- after a successful rookie year- and, honestly, I think he’ll become the top coverage option on the team.

Murphy-Bunting is going to be tasked with going man-to-man with some of the top wide receivers in the league and that’s going to be a great challenge. If he finds a way to be effective, Tampa Bay may have one of the top defenses in the league. If he can’t, it could be a long season.

Next. 5 remaining free-agents the Bucs would be crazy not to contact. dark

This secondary needs Murphy-Bunting to step up in a major way and that means he’ll be an X-factor for the Buccaneers in 2020.
