Then Winfield got here flying in and acquired a sack on a well-timed blitz at full velocity. In camp this 12 months Winfield has seemed just like the Winfield from the 2023 season when he had an All-Professional marketing campaign, and that’s a terrific signal.
CB Ayden Garnes
The undrafted free agent rookie from Arizona continues to make splash performs. With Benjamin Morrison nonetheless being held out of staff drills, Ayden Garnes is one among a number of cornerbacks to rotate in with the starters. After recording his first interception the opposite day, Garnes continues to show sticky protection and nice instincts and timing. Garnes broke up two passes on Thursday, stepping in entrance of Ted Hurst and breaking apart a move close to the sidelines on a throw from Baker Mayfield, after which had one other PBU later, undercutting Bauer Sharp on a crosser within the crimson zone.

OLB Rueben Bain Jr.
Rueben Bain Jr. wasn’t essentially the move speeding phenom he has been in different practices on Thursday, however he made an actual heady play that Todd Bowles goes to like when he goes again and watches the movie. Bain confirmed off his excessive soccer I.Q. and his fast response time and twitchiness sniffing out a quick-hitting throw to the flat to operating again Bucky Irving and acquired there right away. Irving caught the move, however then bounced off of Bain and hit the turf just like the rookie OLB was a brick wall.

ILB Josiah Trotter

Duds From Day 6 Of Bucs Coaching Camp
WR Garrett Greene
Garrett Greene continued his shaky efficiency the place he had a myriad of drops throughout Tuesday’s evening observe on Thursday. After hauling in diving catch from Jake Browning the place he appeared to redeem himself, Greene acquired focused once more on the identical drive and hauled in a catch on the run whereas operating a crossing route. However as he was making the catch the ball simply slipped proper out of his arms. Was it a catch? It seemed like a catch and fumble for the second-year participant out of West Virginia.
CB Zyon McCollum
In actuality, Zyon McCollum had an excellent observe. He didn’t hand over any massive catches down the sector, though he was within the path place for a landing catch at the back of the tip zone by tight finish Cade Otton – though it was exhausting to inform if Otton was McCollum’s man in protection as a result of it was a scramble drill. McCollum additionally had a sack on a blitz after which undercut a throw at the back of the tip zone throughout the crimson zone interval and will have had a simple interception.

However as a substitute of corralling his third INT of camp, McCollum bobbled it, and bobbled it and bobbled it earlier than the ball fell to the bottom. It goes down as a PBU, which is nice, however in actuality, McCollum has to return down with that gimme decide, which he had each arms on, as a result of it was in the long run zone. That’s the distinction between Tampa Bay ending a possible scoring drive and permitting the offense one other shot at a landing on the following play due to the dropped INT. Tampa Bay’s $16 million-per-year cornerback must make these performs.
