They include QB Tyler Rabb and RB Chris Veliz. Rushing the ball should be a strength with Veliz, Ryan Rodriguez--who doubles as a LB on defense--and newcomer Trever Hardin. Linebacking should be a big strength on D with Rodriguez, T.J. Rowden and Trevor Ly. The team lacks size and experience, but a strong unit has depth in certain areas that should help them along. The Bucs should be improved and must take advantage of their backfield strength to wear down opponents late in games.
