Lavonte David is back for his 14th season in the NFL and with the Bucs, and he doesn't want to waste his time. The team had it's moments in 2024 but they ultimately fell short with a playoff loss, at home, to the Washington Commanders.
After the loss, fans had wondered if they would ever see their captain again in Lavonte David. The former Cornhusker turned Buccaneer has played his entire career in Tampa Bay and has won a Super Bowl during his tenure. He knows what a Super Bowl-winning team looks like, and on Wednesday, he made comments that should have fans excited.
The future Hall of Fame linebacker gave the bold proclamation, saying, "I know we can get it done. I feel like we fell short last year, I feel like we would have had a great run at it last year, honestly. We just fell short, and definitely unfortunate, but probably one of the main reasons why I came back, and I know what are capable of and I know what we can do. We have the talent to do it, and we have the mindset to do it. So, we just got to put it all together. . ."
David returns as the Bucs try to figure out what the future of the position looks like for the team.
They passed over on Jihaad Campbell in April's NFL Draft. Instead, they opted to run things back with SirVocea Dennis who is coming off a shoulder injury of his own. If Dennis can be healthy and play tag team partner alongside David, the middle of the Bucs defense will be in much better shape to defend in 2025.
