The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost starting right guard Alex Cappa to injury while making a playoff run towards a Super Bowl LV win. Fortunately for them Aaron Stinnie stepped in beautifully and was able to help his squad in a moment many thought might have derailed their efforts altogether.
That’s how important the offensive line is. Five guys moving as one, sometimes six, to protect the most important player on the team. Even when it’s not Tom Brady, protecting the quarterback should be priority one for all NFL franchises.
So when the Bucs drafte Notre Dame’s Robert Hainsey in the third-round it was easy to see the value a back-up lineman can bring to a team looking to win another championship.
