The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are pursuing a three-game winning streak if they can overcome the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. The rookies continue to make strides and have impacted this team’s recovery. Bucky Irving has been the biggest rookie this season and in Week 12, but Jason Licht now has another loaded draft class in his bag.
Each year around the NFL, rookies step up immediately for their teams and make a difference and the Bucs have shown to find them.
Graham Barton has played well, anchoring the center of the line through two weeks. This year, we saw Xavier Worthy score two touchdowns on opening night. Rookies impact the league every year, and the Bucs need to keep hitting on their first-round picks.
