First impressions matter, especially in the NFL. Luckily for key Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookies, they made a strong one.
It all started with Carlton Davis. The second-round pick received an extended look as Vernon Hargreaves left the game after he suffered a hamstring injury.
On one of his first snaps, Davis appeared to have forgotten that the whistle doesn’t blow a play dead if a player falls to the ground. Albert Wilson picked up a few extra yards as Davis watched on.
Brain cramps aside, Davis had a few nice pass breakups in the process including a great diving effort to stop a potential first down.
