The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are probably deepest at defensive tackle with three-time Pro Bowler Gerald McCoy, Clinton McDonald and the newly-acquired Henry Melton. However, the game of football is a team sport where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
When a player like McCoy needs a blow, it’s important to have someone waiting in the wings who can come in and prevent the defensive line from having a major drop-off in skill and competitiveness. This is where someone like Akeem Spence comes into play. Unfortunately, though, the Buccaneers will be without Akeem for quite some time after the 23-year-old went under the knife to repair a back injury.
