The Bucs will stick with a player that began to take starting snaps last ye
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a few places where competition will determine the starter for the 2024 season. One of those places was possibly at the second inside linebacker position, but head coach Todd Bowles has now officially revealed the starter heading into training camp.podcast with our very own JC Allen, and when he was asked about second-year linebacker SirVocea Dennis, he had a lot of great things to say about him — but he also revealed the starter at inside linebacker for 2024.
Bowles said that Britt is a talented football player, but that he's also been impressed with his leadership over the course of the offseason. "K.J. has been our unquestioned leader since the spring. He's very vocal, he has natural leadership qualities, he's a very good football player. He doesn't have the athletic ability that Lavonte has, but not many people do — that does not mean he cannot play football.
"He is a heck of a football player. He is a natural leader. He is a very good thumper and he is a very good communicator. So the communication on the field helps us a great deal. He is kind of my eyes and ears out there and the more he knows, the more he communicates, the better we'll be." Britt and David could make a strong duo at linebacker, and if Bowles is to be believed, Dennis could make an appearance among the group over the course of the season as well.River Wells is a sports journalist from St. Petersburg, Florida, who has covered the Tampa Bay Buccaneers since 2023.
