Free Agent Spotlight: OLB Aaron Lynch

Outside of the quarterback position, edge rusher may be the most important position on the football field in today’s NFL.

A good pass rush can confuse and derail any competent quarterback. The key to the demise of Tom Brady, Drew Brees, and Aaron Rodgers over the years has been the ability to generate consistent pressure.

For the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it may be a difficult task finding players who can provide that spark. A lack of personnel, a switch in defensive philosophy, and new coaching in general are just a few of the obstacles in the way of becoming a good defense.
