When it comes to success in team sports, there are many ways to accomplish your goals. There are many formats for a team to be able to win and keep winning year in and year out. In the National Football League, one of the best ways to succeed is consistency from one year to the next, having the same or a very similar system or carrying over the same group of guys to be able to work within a system constantly in order to perfect it.
Jason Licht’s name has been passed around a lot in the last few years. Since 2019, which is also the same year the Bucs signed Bruce Arians to be their head coach, 30 out of 46 drafted players still remain on the team. Just when you thought that was a cool stat, 44 of the 53 men on the Buccaneers roster for the 2024 season will have either been drafted or started their careers as an undrafted free agent with the Bucs.
