Tampa Bay Buccaneer players will take to the fields behind One Buccaneer Place on Monday to begin the team's nine-week offseason program. On Friday, several dozen potential Buccaneers beat them to the punch.
The Buccaneers held their annual pre-draft workout of "local" players on Friday morning, taking advantage of a provision in the CBA that allows them to bring in up to 30 draft prospects who played either high school or college football in their metropolitan area. The provision also includes a handful of state schools from a bit farther away, including Florida and Florida State.
