It surprised many when Kwon Alexander, a fourth round pick out of LSU, unseated free agent signee Bruce Carter to become the Buccaneers’ week one starter at the middle linebacker position. For all the things Bucs fans blame on Lovie Smith, there’s one thing that guy did know while in Tampa Bay and that was linebackers. Alexander’s sheer speed and athletic ability made him an instant contender in training camp to break into the starting lineup. His knowledge, work ethic, and natural playmaking ability made him a starter. His off-field heartbreak, highlight plays, and obvious leadership abilities made him a fan favorite.
