Bucs Disrespected in ESPN’s ‘Way-Too-Early’ Power Rankings

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers finished the 2018 season as the league’s 28th ranked team, or fifth-worst. However, an off-season already filled with a lot of significant changes, and more to come, have this team on the verge of becoming everyone’s pre-season sleeper.

Everyone, that is, except for ESPN apparently.

In releasing their self-proclaimed ‘way-too-early’ power rankings of NFL teams ahead of the 2019 league year, the network showed their hand and told every franchise exactly what they think of them.

For the Bucs, this means being labeled as 24th out of a possible 32 franchises.
