Keith Tandy has been a life long role player since he was selected by the Buccaneers in the sixth round of the 2012 draft. The former West Virginia Mountaineer was drafted back in the Greg Schiano era by Mark Dominik to fill the need for a backup safety. Tandy was able to make the 53-man roster his first year, but unfortunately did not see the field much until later on in his career.
Once again this season Tandy started off as a backup behind the now injured Chris Conte. Both of the Bucs starting safeties began the season on a terribly rough note and the NFL community was beginning to call the duo of Conte and Bradley McDougald the worst in league.
