The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have made significant moves in the offseason following a lackluster 2024 season, where they ranked 29th in defense. To enhance their pass defense, they signed linebacker Haason Reddick and drafted rookie cornerbacks Jacob Parrish and David Walker. Parrish has emerged as a standout athlete, impressing during the Senior Bowl and the Scouting Combine. Pro Football Focus believes he could compete for a starting role as the Buccaneers prepare for the upcoming season.

With adjustments in their secondary, including moving Tykee Smith to safety and adding draft picks Benjamin Morrison and Elijah Roberts, the Buccaneers aim to bolster their defensive lineup. If Parrish can maintain his momentum into training camp, he could play a crucial role as they head into Week 1.
