TAMPA — On Ndamukong Suh’s first day as a Tampa Bay Buccaneer, he made it clear. He’s not here to replace Gerald McCoy.
While there’s a natural connection between the two, dating to their place as defensive tackles selected with the second and third picks in the 2010 draft, and given Suh’s May 23 arrival following McCoy’s May 20 departure.
Bucs head coach Bruce Arians hopes Suh can bring a unique edge to a young Bucs defense, and that’s something Suh believes he can deploy. But Suh said Friday he’s not going to try to fill the void left by McCoy.
