WATCH: Bucs RB Rachaad White’s top plays from 2023

Check out all of the best plays from Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White during the 2023 NFL season

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may have struggled to run the ball consistently and effectively last season, but that didn’t stop running back Rachaad White from having a big impact on the offense.

White finished just shy of 1,000 yards rushing in 2023, but continued to be a valuable member of the passing game, racking up over 1,500 yards of total offense in his second NFL season.

Watch the video above to see all of White’s top plays from the 2023 campaign.

WATCH: Every forced fumble (so far) from Lavonte David’s career

Check out all of the forced fumbles from Lavonte David’s career so far with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers made it official Friday, re-signing linebacker Lavonte David to a new one-year deal.

One of the best linebackers in the NFL for more than a decade, David continues to set the standard across the league at his position, and has long been known for his ability to make splash plays in just about every way.

David has been particularly adept at forcing fumbles, currently ranking third among all active NFL players with 28, and trailing only Chandler Jones and Khalil Mack. David is the only player in the top 10 on that active list who isn’t a pass rusher.

How does he do it?

Here’s every single one of them, so see for yourself:

WATCH: Wisconsin G Connor Essegian predicted dramatic overtime win over Purdue

Connor Essegian had a crystal ball:

Wisconsin basketball’s 75-74 overtime win over Purdue in the Big Ten Tournament semifinal was one of the program’s best wins in years.

For me, it’s the Badgers’ best victory since Chucky Hepburn’s banked-in buzzer-beater to beat Purdue and clinch the Big Ten title at the end of the 2021-22 regular season.

IT’S BRACKET MADNESS: Enter USA TODAY’s NCAA tournament bracket contest for a chance at $1 million prize.

The performance had everything. It had questionable foul calls on and against Purdue star big man Zach Edey, a dramatic overtime-forcing buzzer beater from Hepburn and a classic back-and-forth finish with Max Klesmit’s basket with five seconds remaining proving to be the difference.

The Big Ten Network cameras were predictably right there for all of the action. As released on X Wednesday afternoon, the cameras actually caught Wisconsin guard Connor Essegian saying “this is gonna be iconic” right before Hepburn’s basket and the ensuing heroics.

Check out these highlights of new Broncos LB Cody Barton

Here some highlights of new Broncos linebacker Cody Barton from his time with the Seahawks and Commanders.

The Denver Broncos agreed to terms on a one-year contract with linebacker Cody Barton on Friday night.

Before landing in Denver, Barton previously started 16 games with the Seattle Seahawks (2019-2022) and 13 games with the Washington Commanders (2023). Here are some clips from his time with the Commanders last season:

And here are some highlights from his time with the Seahawks:

And here’s footage from both Seattle and DC:

Barton, 27, has totaled 352 tackles (including eight behind the line of scrimmage), nine pass breakups, seven quarterback hits, three interceptions, two sacks, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 78 career games (29 starts). He has started 24 games over the last two seasons.

After losing Josey Jewell to the Carolina Panthers during NFL free agency, the Broncos signed Barton, presumably as a replacement. The sixth-year linebacker will be the favorite to start next to Alex Singleton in 2024, but Jonas Griffith will also get an opportunity to compete for a spot this summer. Denver’s depth at the position gets a big boost with Barton’s arrival.

WATCH: Top plays from Yaya Diaby’s impressive rookie season

Check out all the top plays from Tampa Bay Buccaneers outside linebacker Yaya Diaby’s dominant rookie campaign in 2023

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were looking for more pass-rushing upside when they spent their third-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft on Louisville’s Yaya Diaby, and after just one season, it’s safe to say that’s exactly what they found.

Diaby was one of the best rookie pass rushers in the entire NFL last season, racking up 7.5 sacks, and making tons of big plays for the Tampa Bay defense.

After the Bucs moved on from veteran Shaq Barrett this offseason, Diaby heads into his sophomore campaign as Tampa Bay’s top edge defender.

Before he builds on last year’s success in 2024, let’s take a look back at Diaby’s top plays from his impressive rookie season:

WATCH: Baker Mayfield’s top plays from the 2023 season

Check out all of Baker Mayfield’s best plays from the 2023 season

When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed quarterback Baker Mayfield to a cheap one-year deal in free agency last year, they were hoping to get plenty of bang for their buck.

They did just that, as Mayfield enjoyed the best season of his career, leading the Bucs to a third straight NFC South title, and bringing them within eight points of a trip to the NFC title game.

Mayfield was rewarded this offseason with a new three-year contract extension, locking him in as the Bucs’ starting quarterback for the foreseeable future.

As the Bucs look to build on last year’s success with Mayfield under center, let’s take a look back at his best plays from the 2023 season:

Chiefs celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with video of top-10 Mahomes plays from 2024

The #Chiefs celebrated St. Patrick’s Day by sharing videos of Patrick Mahomes’ top highlights from Kansas City’s 2023 Super Bowl campaign.

The Kansas City Chiefs had no shortage of highlight plays during their 2023 Super Bowl LVIII campaign. Players like Trent McDuffie, L’Jarius Sneed, Isiah Pacheco, and Travis Kelce made their mark in the team’s latest championship season.

But Super Bowl LVIII MVP Patrick Mahomes was undeniably Kansas City’s most impactful contributor, and on St. Patrick’s Day, the Chiefs took to Twitter to celebrate his efforts with this video of his top-10 plays from 2023:

While Mahomes might not be the namesake of the Irish-themed holiday, there is never a bad time to re-live the magical moments that he created on the gridiron last season en route to winning his third Super Bowl ring.

Without him, Kansas City may have faltered in the playoffs or even fallen victim to a late-season skid and missed the postseason altogether.

One thing is certain: There is never a bad time to watch Mahomes’ top plays, especially on a holiday that bears his first name.

Check out these highlights of new Broncos safety Brandon Jones

Brandon Jones is fun to watch blitzing from the slot. The Broncos are adding an exciting safety to the defense.

The Denver Broncos reached an agreement on a three-year, $20 million contract with safety Brandon Jones on Monday.

The deal will not become official until the NFL’s new league year begins on Wednesday, but Jones has already confirmed he’s joining the Broncos.

Jones (6-1, 191 pounds) is a play-making safety who excels as a pass rusher. Yes, that’s right, he’s a safety who can get after the quarterback. Often lining up in the box, Jones has been utilized as a blitzer, recording eight sacks through his first three seasons in the NFL.

Here are some of Jones’ highlights from his time with the Miami Dolphins, including a strip-sack in the first clip:

And some more highlights:

(If the above video is blocked on your device, you can watch it on YouTube.)

Jones (25) will join a safety room that already includes Caden Sterns (24) and P.J. Locke (27). After releasing Justin Simmons (30) to save salary cap space earlier this week, the Broncos are now younger in the secondary going into the 2024 season.

WATCH: Mike Evans’ top plays from the 2023 season

Relive all of the top plays from Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans during the 2023 NFL season

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers made a huge splash earlier this week, re-signing five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Mike Evans to a new two-year contract extension that should ensure he’s able to finish his legendary NFL career where it started.

Despite having to develop chemistry with a new starting quarterback in Baker Mayfield last season, Evans turned in one of the best seasons of his career in 2023, catching 79 passes for 1,255 yards and a league-high 13 touchdown receptions.

Evans extended his NFL-record streak of 10 straight 1,000-yard seasons to start his career, and helped lead the Bucs to a third consecutive NFC South title.

To celebrate his new contract, let’s take a look back at some of Evans’ best highlights from last year:

WATCH: Justin Fields’ top plays from the 2023 NFL season

Since many feel the Falcons are a possible landing spot for Justin Fields, check out the best plays from the Bears QB in 2023

The Chicago Bears selected Justin Fields with the 11th overall pick of the 2021 NFL draft, seven spots after the Atlanta Falcons selected tight end Kyle Pitts at pick No. 4.

After three seasons in Chicago, Fields appears to be on the way out as the Bears are expected to target a quarterback with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 draft. The 24-year-old QB passed for 2,562 yards, 16 touchdowns and nine interceptions in 13 games for the Bears last season.

Fields added another 657 rushing yards and four touchdowns on the ground. Since the Falcons are the betting favorites to land Fields in a trade, watch the best plays from the Bears quarterback’s 2023 campaign below.
