Devante Bond will likely start for the Buccaneers this season
Kim Klement-USA TODAY SportsOne position we haven’t talked much about this offseason is linebacker. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have two clear starters at the position: Kwon Alexander and Lavonte David. Both of them are very good at what they do, and very similar: fast, undersized linebackers who make a ton of tackles, do well in coverage, and make a lot of splash plays.
They may be joined by a third in Devante Bond, who looks to be the team’s starting strongside linebacker this season. Bond was the Bucs’ sixth-round pick out of Oklahoma last year, and missed all of his rookie season due to injury. And according to Roy Cummings, he’s likely to be the team’s starter this year.
