Bucs' Lavonte David on 2025 season: 'I know what we are capable of'
Lavonte David is back for his 14th season in the NFL and with the Bucs, and he doesn't want to waste his time. The team had it's moments in 2024 but they ultimately fell short with a playoff loss, at home, to the Washington Commanders. After the loss, fans had wondered if they would ever see their captain again in Lavonte David. The former Cornhusker turned Buccaneer has played his entire career in Tampa Bay and has won a Super Bowl during his tenure. He knows what a Super Bowl-winning team looks like, and on Wednesday, he made comments that should have fans excited. The future Hall of Fame linebacker gave the bold proclamation, saying, "I know we can get it done. I feel like we fell short last year, I feel like we would have had a great run at it last year, honestly. We just fell short, and definitely unfortunate, but probably one of the main reasons why I came back, and I know what are capable of and I know what we can do. We have the talent to do it, and we have the mindset to do it. So, we just got to put it all together. . ." David returns as the Bucs try to figure out what the future of the position looks like for the team. They passed over on Jihaad Campbell in April's NFL Draft. Instead, they opted to run things back with SirVocea Dennis who is coming off a shoulder injury of his own. If Dennis can be healthy and play tag team partner alongside David, the middle of the Bucs defense will be in much better shape to defend in 2025.

Todd Bowles excited for 'God-send' Lavonte David to return for 14th season
Todd Bowles had to be smiling from ear to ear when he was told that Lavonte David would be returning for the 2025 season. After the loss, fans had wondered if they would ever see their captain again in Lavonte David. The former Cornhusker turned Buccaneer has played his entire career in Tampa Bay and has won a Super Bowl during his tenure. He knows what a Super Bowl-winning team looks like, Todd Bowles knows if they are going to compete for one they need the veteran linebacker back. The veteran head coach explained his excitement by saying, "He's meant everything to me. He's the second coach on the field. He gets everybody lined up, he talks to everybody, inspires everybody, corrects everybody, he understands situations, he can call out plays when he's out there, and he makes plays all the time. That's been a godsend for us. He's been one of the consistent ones over there. There's a reason he's played that long." David missed all of minicamp and OTAs, not due to any contract issues, but most likely due to his veteran status. Bowles also talked about the impact of his presence during camp on Wednesday and his ability to lift the unit as a whole.
