The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are definitely boasting a pretty talented team as of now with Chris Godwin, Mike Evans, Tez Johnson, and Emka Egbuka as their wide receivers. The team’s offense will be headed by quarterback Baker Mayfield in the upcoming football season.
During this year’s offseason, the Buccaneers have indeed been pretty busy. During the draft, the Buccaneers brought in Egbuka from Ohio State in the first round and then selected Benjamin Morrison from Notre Dame as the cornerback of their future.
With their impressive offseason moves, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are entering the 2025 NFL season on a more confident note when compared to their previous season. Bucs fans can expect to see Egbuka in action for the very first time during the season opener against the Atlanta Falcons.
