Benjamin Morrison, a standout cornerback from Notre Dame, expressed deep relief and gratitude upon being drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, despite facing a challenging season marked by a hip injury. Initially projected as a first-round pick, Morrison was selected 53rd overall, leading to an emotional response as he thanked the team's head coach, Todd Bowles.

Morrison's journey has been fraught with uncertainty, especially during his recovery from surgery. Comparatively, his father, Darryl Morrison, who played in the NFL, shared insights about Coach Bowles, reinforcing his belief in the Buccaneers' supportive environment. Morrison's collegiate success, including six interceptions in his freshman season, positions him as a key asset for a Buccaneers secondary that struggled in recent years.
