Pro Football Focus named Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Vita Vea to its All-Rookie Team.
After ending his season on a high note, Vea showed how valuable he could be as a menace in the run game. Vea even flashed his immense strength as a pass rusher, barreling over lineman on his way to the quarterback.
Although he performed well as the season went on, his career in Tampa Bay got off to a less than ideal start. Trainers carted Vea off the field during training camp, hindering much of the progress he made leading up to his rookie season.
