TAMPA, Fla. -- When new Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Vita Vea visited the Bucs earlier this month and general manager Jason Licht asked him, "What is the most important thing a defensive lineman can do?" Vea responded, "Kick the crap out of the guy in front of me."
Then he told Licht a story: When he visited Tahiti on a trip with some friends in college and saw a giant rock on the ground, he picked it up and managed to tick off not only a group of bodybuilders and strongman competitors, but the entire island when he deadlifted it off the ground.
