Devin White tells Tom Brady he’s got his back

Bucs linebacker Devin White took to Twitter to let Tom Brady know he’ll handle “the D Block.”

Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans were given a treat today when the team tweeted out photos of quarterback Tom Brady wearing his fresh new threads.

While it may be hard for some to see Brady in a jersey other than a New England Patriots one, there’s no denying the future Hall of Famer looks good.

With a fresh look and fresh quarterback, Tampa Bay is looking to make a Super Bowl run in 2020, which is a big ask considering they finished just 7-9 last year. But, when you have Brady under center, anything is possible.

And Bucs linebacker Devin White wants Brady to know that while the Golden Boy handles the offense, he’s got his back on the defensive side.

Check out the below tweet from White directed at his new quarterback.

This team already looks like it has some great chemistry developing between them, especially between Brady and center Ryan Jensen.

2020 is going to be a fun season.

Devin White believes he and Lavonte David are the best dynamic duo around

Bucs linebacker Devin White took to Instagram to let the world know he and Lavonte David are ready to take the league by storm.

Bucs linebacker Devin White will be looked upon to take on more of a leadership role in his second season after a strong finish to his rookie year in 2019. Fortunately, White will have one of the game’s best, and most underrated, linebackers right by his side in Lavonte David.

White went on Instagram recently to post a few pictures of he and David on his story, seemingly putting the rest of the league on notice.

White also posted the below art piece of him and David on his story, which is pretty sweet if you’re a Bucs fan.

White and David are ready to take the league by storm, and even former Bucs defensive tackle Gerald McCoy believes David deserves the attention and notoriety that will be coming his way in 2020.

It’s selfie time for Bucs LB Devin White

Devin White hit up Instagram today to show off a few selfies.

Bucs linebacker Devin White had a lot to live up to last season. Not only was the former LSU star one of the top five picks in the 2019 NFL draft, but he was the first linebacker Tampa Bay had taken in round one since Hall of Famer Derrick Brooks all the way back in 1995.

While White’s rookie year got off to a bit of a slow start due to illness and injury, he came on strong the final two months of the season, displaying insane athleticism and setting some Bucs history along the way.

With big things expected from him and the Bucs defense in Year 2, White’s enjoying the last few weeks of the offseason before training camp (hopefully) begins next month.

Take a look at some recent selfie photos White posted on his Instagram story today, including one in his new Tampa Bay threads.

Adam Schein tells fans to hop aboard the Bucs bandwagon in 2020

Adam Schein gave his list of nine NFL bandwagons to hop aboard in 2020, and not surprisingly the Bucs found themselves near the top.

The Buccaneers ranked 29th in home attendance last year, but likely won’t find themselves in that position in 2020 now that Tom Brady is the new sheriff in town.

With the additions of both Brady and tight end Rob Gronkowski, the Bucs will be one of the most exciting teams to watch this season, and the NFL made sure fans will get plenty of opportunities to watch them, scheduling them for five prime-time games, the maximum number allowed.

As great as national notoriety and exposure is, it also means the Bucs will likely have more than a few bandwagon fans looking to join the party. And in his latest piece over at NFL.com, Adam Schein listed the Bucs at No. 2 on his list of nine NFL bandwagons to hop aboard in 2020.

Here is part of Schein’s reasoning:

“Don’t sleep on this Bucs defense. The unit really started to come into its own down the stretch last season, as the young secondary caught up with the outstanding front seven. The front’s a brick wall against the run, while Shaq Barrett and Jason Pierre-Paul terrify opposing quarterbacks off the edges. And it’s hard to find a better off-ball linebacker duo than [Lavonte] David and Devin White.”

We all know what the Bucs’ offense is capable of. Despite Jameis Winston throwing a league-high 30 interceptions last season, the Buccaneers still boasted the NFL’s third-best offense. But it’s the defense that will likely decide whether or not the Bucs make it back to the postseason for the first time since 2007.

As Lavonte David, himself, noted recently on Good Morning Football, he and White are the best linebacker duo around, just as Schein mentioned. So while the Bucs’ offense will be must-see TV come fall, the defense could offer just as much thrills, too.

Hop aboard, everyone!

Devin White is ready for the Bucs to shock the world

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Devin White took to Instagram to let everyone know he and the Bucs are ready to shock the world.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are itching for the 2020 season to get underway. After an offseason overhaul which saw the franchise change uniforms (and quarterbacks), the Bucs are ready to face the mounting expectations that have been put on them ever since the signing of Tom Brady.

The offense looks virtually unstoppable on paper, with Brady working with guys like Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Rob Gronkowski and O.J. Howard. But don’t sleep on the defense, which took a big step forward last season under Todd Bowles.

Linebacker Devin White believes his team is going to take the league by storm, and took to Instagram recently to let everyone know. Take a look at this screenshot from White’s IG story.

Devin White is enjoying the stable life this offseason

Bucs LB Devin White showed off his carpentry skills on Instagram recently.

Devin White had himself a season in 2019. The rookie linebacker out of LSU, who was taken fifth overall in last year’s draft, got off to a slow start dealing with illness and injuries, but showed over the course of the final two months why Tampa Bay felt he was a franchise cornerstone.

But not only did the Bucs get a linebacker who seems destined for greatness, they also got a real-life cowboy and handyman. Take a look at some screenshots from White’s recent Instagram story where he’s building a stable for his horse (just like we all do, I’m sure.)

That’s certainly one way to stay fit during this time of social distancing… except maybe use less chainsaws.

Devin White has some inspiration for fans on Instagram

Bucs linebacker Devin White took to Instagram to post a little inspirational message for fans.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Devin White had a strong finish to his rookie year, solidifying his status as the team’s new defensive cornerstone.

The former LSU linebacker displayed his insane athleticism time and again in 2019, and will look to have an even bigger impact this season as the Bucs have playoff, and Super Bowl, aspirations.

But at his core, White is still humble and knows that life is all about growth. Take a look at this inspirational message he posted to his Instagram story, originally posted by Kansas City Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu.

Lavonte David believes he and Devin White are the best LB duo in the NFL

Bucs linebacker Lavonte David believes he and teammate Devin White make up the NFL’s best LB duo.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are hoping that 2020 first-round pick Tristan Wirfs can live up to the hype like 2019 first-round pick Devin White did.

White, the former LSU linebacker, had a slow start to the season but came on strong in the second half, dominating opponents and even making a little history along the way.

Tampa Bay is hoping that White will build off his successful finish to last season, and along with Lavonte David, they could make up the best linebacker duo in the game.

At least, that’s what White believes. Take a look at this clip from White’s interview today on Good Morning Football.

Bucs fans are excited to see what this new-look offense will be like with Tom Brady under center, but the defense will be just as fun to watch in 2020.

Quarantine isn’t stopping Devin White and Ed Oliver from being cowboys

Take a look at this recent tweet from Bucs LB Devin White showing him riding through the streets of Houston with Bills DT Ed Oliver.

I’m sure that’s a headline you never expected to read after the coronavirus pandemic sent much of the world into self-quarantine, but hey, welcome to 2020!

The Buccaneers, like the rest of the sports world, are dealing with the effects of the virus, like staying away from team facilities and finding ways to stay in shape and workout out from home. 

But for Bucs linebacker Devin White, quarantine isn’t stopping him from living his (best) cowboy life, and he has a friend in Bills DT Ed Oliver to cowboy up with.

Take a look at this recent tweet from White showing him and Oliver riding through the streets of Houston on horseback.

Nice to see White wearing a mask in the process!

WATCH: Devin White talks about the emotions he felt during the 2019 draft

Watch as Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Devin White relived his 2019 draft experience, when he was selected with the fifth overall pick.

It’s draft week, and at this point last year the Buccaneers were preparing to use the fifth overall pick to select a linebacker out of LSU named Devin White. Fortunately, for them, that pick turned into one of the franchise’s best in recent memory.

While White battled injuries and illness to start the 2019 season, he finished with a bang, coming on strong in the second half of the season to earn NFL Defensive Rookie of the Month honors for both November and December. And it all become possible for White because of what transpired back on draft night in Nashville. Watch the clip below to hear White talk about the emotions he was feeling.
