The Buccaneers are a hot pick around the NFL right now, which is due in large part to the upgrades on the offensive side of the ball. Fans wanted weapons for quarterback Jameis Winston and they got some big-time additions in the offseason. The hype around Tampa Bay is real right now, with national media joining in as well. Doug Farrar of Bleacher Report put out his rankings of the NFL’s wide receiving groups last week and the Bucs landed at No. 2.
Farrar does a solid job of breaking down Tampa Bay’s group, first looking at the addition of veteran speedster DeSean Jackson:
Jackson is a perfect complement to this offense, because he has the deep speed and separation ability that nobody else on Tampa Bay’s roster possesses—only Mike Evans caught more than 10 passes thrown 20 or more yards in the air last season, and Evans, while reasonably fast, is more of a contested-catch receiver.
