TAMPA — The best outside linebacker in the NFL walked into Ava on Wednesday night wearing a smile, jeans and a gray hoodie. He strolled past the cute couple cuddled in the booth by the window and weaved his way around a flurry of waiters setting up tables. It was his first visit to what has become one of Tampa Bay's most trendy restaurants.
"I don't go out much, really," Lavonte David said shyly. "But this is a nice place."
David, 25, had only two more nights of freedom before reporting with his Bucs teammates to training camp Friday.
