We’re going through the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ roster, position by position, to see if the team improved compared to last year. Today: cornerback.
2016 roster: Brent Grimes, Vernon Hargreaves, Alterraun Verner, Johnthan Banks, Jude Adjei-Barimah, Javien Elliott, Josh Robinson, Joel Ross
If there’s any position the Bucs addressed heavily this offseason, it’s cornerback, and with good reason. The Bucs allowed a ridiculous 70% of passes to be completed last season, though they were at least good at preventing big plays. Then again, that may have been more due to the safeties and defensive scheme.
