For more than a decade—and truthfully for much of their existence—the Buccaneers have not been winners. In fact, until their Super Bowl season in 2020, they had the worst winning percentage of any team in the four major American sports leagues. That’s not a tag you should ever want to have.
During the team’s losing seasons, you could typically only choose a few bright spots on the roster. In fact, for the better part of the 2010s, picking the franchise’s cornerstone players was as easy as looking at Gerald McCoy and Lavonte David on the defensive side of the ball.
