Bucky Irving is expected to take over as the lead back after a dynamic rookie year. He brings vision, balance, and strong pass-catching skills. However, Rachaad White has carved out a niche as a reliable receiving back, and second-year player Sean Tucker is pushing for a larger role as well.

Vita Vea remains a cornerstone, commanding double teams and anchoring the defensive front. The 2023 first-rounder Calijah Kancey has flashed as a disruptive interior pass rusher. Behind them, the third interior spot remains open—Logan Hall has yet to carve out a consistent role, while Gaines and Roberts will battle for reps.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a promising rookie class, and they have one overlooked guy who could emerge as a starter throughout training camp.
