TAMPA — Buccaneers coach Lovie Smith gathered the 21 members of his rookie class for a meeting at One Buc Place on Tuesday morning in which he revealed his goal for the upcoming season.
“We have plans to win the Super Bowl,’’ wide receiver Kenny Bell said.
That’s a lofty goal for any team, but especially the Bucs. After all, they haven’t even reached the playoffs since 2007 and their plan this year is to lean heavily on rookies such as Bell to lead them back.
To get a jump on things, those rookies reported for training camp Monday, and Tuesday they participated in a bonding activity while bowling with rookies from the Tampa Fire Rescue.
