The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have one of the most creative and aggressive defensive play-callers in head coach Todd Bowles, and he loves versatile defensive backs who can create big plays no matter where they’re lined up.
That’s why the Bucs spent one of their third-round picks in the 2024 NFL draft on Georgia’s Tykee Smith, who brings that kind of versatility and playmaking ability to the table.
The Bucs recently released some behind-the-scenes footage of a predraft meeting they had with Smith, and the former Bulldog put his mental prowess on display while breaking down a wide range of his own plays and describing his assignments and responsibilities:

Don’t be surprised if Smith makes plenty of splash plays this season and beyond.
