If there’s one position the Buccaneers might be least worried about for 2021, it’s likely linebacker. After establishing themselves as the best duo in the NFL at the position, Devin White and Lavonte David return for multiple seasons to come while Kevin Minter serves as a reliable backup.
That said, Tampa has shown interest recently in seeking younger depth, as well as core special teamers. Chapelle Russell joined the team as a seventh rounder last season, just like Jack Cichy in 2018. Overall, GM Jason Licht has selected a linebacker in six of the seven drafts he’s directed, so it’s not unrealistic to expect a seventh straight year.
