Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Shaq Barrett had a monster season in 2019, his first with the Bucs. The former Denver Bronco, who won a Super Bowl ring in Super Bowl 50, signed a one-year deal with the Bucs last offseason and more than outperformed his contract.
Barrett led the NFL this season with 19.5 sacks, shattering the Bucs’ franchise record for sacks in a single season, which had been held by Hall of Famer Warren Sapp since 2000 (16.5). Barrett is likely going to receive a huge payday from Tampa Bay this offseason, and he was more than happy to brag about his big achievement on his Instagram account the other day.
One NFL player who couldn’t help but comment on the post, and point out Barrett’s Colorado beginnings, was Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey.
Take a look.
McCaffrey, as you may or may not know, is the son of former Broncos wide receiver Ed McCaffrey, who won a pair of Super Bowls with the Broncos when John Elway was quarterback. Even though Christian plays for a different team than his father did, he still has love for the Broncos… and Barrett.
