Dalton Conway is an experienced QB who returns to lead the offense, and he'll hand off frequently to Alex Willis who had success last season and should be a candidate to eclipse 1,000 yards last year. The offensive line has experience, and overall the Bucs should put points on the board. On defense, the line is solid, while the LBs are led by Tyler Hull. An impact player or two could be used in the secondary. Significant improvement is possible.
