The secondary of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has seen more down than ups so far in 2021, but safety Mike Edwards, generally a reserve, has been a bright spot for the Buccaneers unit. He should also see his role expand more and more going forward.
Edwards was one of the unsung heroes for the Buccaneers during their Super Bowl championship run in 2020, performing with great aplomb when called upon when the team needed him most. In training camp, Edwards looked like a true ballhawk safety, intercepting seemingly every pass thrown his way, including one incredible circus catch, which was just another example of his great nose for the ball.
