The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may be just 4-7, but they are perhaps one of the more entertaining teams to watch in the NFL.
Sure, they may not have a Lamar Jackson-esque speedster at quarterback, or a running back that rolls through defenders like the Juggernaut, but they can put up points with the best of them and have plenty of stars on offense to make each snap an exciting one to watch.
And, of course, one of the biggest offensive stars on the roster is big man Vita Vea!
The nose tackle and former high school running back had his first career touchdown reception in the Bucs’ Week 12 win over the Atlanta Falcons. But, it wasn’t the first time he’s lined up on offense this season, and it turns out, his offensive performance against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10 earned him the chance to catch that touchdown against Atlanta.
Take a look.
OC Byron Leftwich said Vita’s TD play was a ‘reward’ for his blocking at the goal line vs. AZ that got Peyton Barber into the end zone.
Says Vita takes both sides of the ball seriously.

Vea became the heaviest player in NFL history to score an offensive touchdown, and here’s hoping it won’t be his last.
For those wondering what it would look like to see Vea run through an NFL O-line, here’s a sneak peek.
