Name the Tampa Bay Buccaneers running backs right now. When did you say Bobby Rainey’s name? Was it after Doug Martin and Charles Sims? Be honest. If it was, you’re not alone. Whenever Bucs fans and analysts talk about the team’s backfield, the first two questions are centered around whether or not Martin will have a bounce-back season and how Sims will fare in his second year in the league. But where’s the love for Rainey?
Look at last year’s numbers for Buccaneers running backs. Rainey was second on the team in rushing yards (406), behind Martin (494) who needed a breakout performance in the last game of the season to overtake him.
