The Tampa Bay Buccaneers activate a veteran defensive back to the squad on Tuesday ahead of their matchup with the Giants in Week 12. The Bucs are activating veteran Troy Hill to bring some depth to the secondary.
Hill also brings a splash of playmaking as well.
Hill has appeared in 119 career games for the Cincinnati Bengals , Los Angeles Rams, Cleveland Browns, and Carolina Panthers. In the process f hoping between all these teams, he ended up making 60 starts and totaling 406 tackles, 41 passes defensed, nine interceptions.
Three of those nine interceptions were returned for touchdowns which speaks to the magic he can make magic happen, which the Bucs need a dose of.
Hill’s best season came in 2020 when he posted career highs in tackles (77), passes defensed (10) and interceptions (three), while leading the NFL in defensive touchdowns, with three.
He will be playing alongside Antoine Winfield Jr., and the recently signed Mike Edwards in the safety position.
