The Buccaneers’ passing attack has been the bread and butter of their offense for years, and with Tom Brady now under center that should continue in 2020.
The backfield has been a different story, however. Last season, Tampa Bay finished 24th in rushing, averaging 95.1 yards per game. Despite a solid season by Ronald Jones — 172 rushes for 724 yards and six touchdowns — the team opted to use their third-round pick in April’s NFL draft on Vanderbilt running back Ke’Shawn Vaughn.
The move surprised some, but the Bucs seem to like Vaughn’s ability to catch out of the backfield. Vaughn, himself, has heard the chatter and hate, and took to Twitter today with a message for all his doubters.
Take a look.
Reading all these disrespectful tweets that mention my name š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£. Fall in line with the rest of the doubters who hopped on the Vaughn train late š.

Fantasy football players might not want to overlook Vaughn either. Analytics expert Cynthia Frelund over at NFL.com predicted the Vanderbilt alum could be a major contributor as a rookie.
