Two great off-ball linebackers for the Buccaneers.

Is Devin White emerging as the Derrick Brooks of this Bucs team? The numbers from each of their playoff runs are a lot closer than expected.

Derrick Brooks has gone down as one of the most feared linebackers in Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ history, due in large part to his 2002 Defensive Player of the Year season. While this was an impressive achievement for Brooks, it wasn’t this award that earned him a spot in Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ lore.
