The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been on a youth movement since Tom Brady’s retirement, going from the oldest NFL roster by average age in 2022 to the youngest entering the 2023 season. This movement comes with high expectations for young players, including this year’s draft class. The Bucs are hoping this current group of rookies will be key contributors this fall as Tampa Bay plays a tough schedule, featuring all four teams that competed in last season’s conference championship games. After mandatory minicamp this week, they’ve made a good impression on the coaching staff. “It’s one of the smarter draft classes, as far as catching onto the scheme, that we’ve had,” head coach Todd Bowles said after Thursday’s practice. First-round selection Graham Barton is likely to see the most action out of this year’s rookies. The former Duke Blue Devil has taken plenty of first-team reps at center, working to earn respect and gain trust from his offensive teammates.
