The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may not be a Super Bowl contender in 2023, but they have three players that will make them exciting to watch.
The Buccaneers are almost doing a rebuild. Well, they are trying to find out who will replace Tom Brady, and at the same time, they have a lot of holes that need to be fixed. But that doesn't mean they can't be exciting.
There are three guys, and really should be four, that are still the cornerstone of this team. The Buccaneers had three guys on a top-100 players list, and really, you could argue that they should have had two more on there.
Here are the players Pete Prisco of CBS Sports listed from the Buccaneers in his top-100 list.
46 Tristan Wirfs TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS, OT: He has been one of the best right tackles since entering the league in 2020. Now he will be moving to the left side, which shouldn't be a problem for this talented player.
71 Lavonte David TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS, OLB: At the age of 33, he once again played at a high level for the Tampa Bay defense in 2022. He can still get to the football, and he still excels in coverage.
90 Chris Godwin TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS, WR: Coming off a knee injury in 2021, he had 104 catches last season. His per-catch average was a career-low 9.8 yards, but that was impacted by still working his way back to full health.

Notice anything odd there? Yeah, no Mike Evans, who is arguably a top 10 receiver in the league, and you can even make a case that he is a top seven guy at his position too. Mike Evans is, and will be, the main source of offense through the air for the Buccaneers, which is confusing that he put Chris Godwin on the list, who is the obvious WR2.
They also left off Devin White. This guy is currently going through some things with the team, but that doesn't change the fact that he is likely a top-100 player in the league. This one isn't as egregious as Evans, but it isn't good when you look at some of the names on the list.
