The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Jason Licht have a good history of drafting players into the NFL and getting them producing immediately. In their 2024 NFL Draft Class, Licht’s work is being recognized by The Athletic.
Dane Brugler published his mid-season All-Rookie Team on Wednesday, and two Bucs rookies made the cut.
Running back Bucky Irving and linebacker Chris Braswell were mentioned by Brugler in his piece. Irving has been very productive anytime he gets the ball in his hand, producing 593 total yards of offense and three touchdowns. Meanwhile, Braswell has just 11 tackles playing in a limited role but has produced with injuries popping up at times for the linebacker group.
Jason Licht and the entire Bucs front office have done a great job building this roster’s core in recent years. Irving looks to be a long-term player in the offense alongside Rachaad White.
Like most linebackers, Braswell needs some more years to develop but shows promise.
