The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have seen some talented tacklers come through their defensive backfield over the years, but safety Antoine Winfield Jr. put himself at the top of the list with his All-Pro performance last season.
Winfield set a new franchise record in 2023 with 122 tackles, the most ever by a Bucs defensive back in a single season.
Hall of Famers like John Lynch and Rondé Barber have put together some incredible numbers in the tackle column over their legendary careers in Tampa Bay, but Winfield has a chance to put himself in that same echelon if he keeps up his current level of play.

Winfield just got a new four-year contract extension that makes him the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history, so he’ll continue to cement his legacy as one of the best defender Bucs fans have ever seen.
