The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and their fans had huge expectations for rookie first-round pick Joe Tryon-Shoyinka in training camp, and especially after the preseason. Now, it’s time for a reality check for the Buccaneers as it pertains to Tryon-Shoyinka, or at the very least time to temper some expectations.
Coming into this year’s Draft, Tryon-Shoyinka was seen as a bit of a raw prospect and a project, primarily due to him opting out of the 2020 season at the University of Washington. He was seen as a player that needed to develop pass-rushing skills at the NFL level, and wouldn’t be able to rely on pure speed bursting off the snap and simply run around NFL tackles.
