TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers convened for their first mandatory minicamp under new head coach Todd Bowles on Thursday. It was the first time all veterans and newcomers took the field together this offseason before a six-week break that will precede training camp.
And while quarterback Tom Brady may have launched a clothing line, signed a lucrative TV deal, starred in two movies and went through a 40-day retirement this offseason, he didn't show any signs of rust. The ball placement was there, the trademark footwork was excellent, and he was in good physical condition.
