Do the Bucs have the NFL's best roster?
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are coming off an epic Super Bowl run in 2020, and theyre bringing back their entire starting lineup for a potential repeat in 2021. With the whole band back together, ESPN recently gave the Bucs their top spot when ranking the best rosters in the NFL heading into the 2021 season. The rankings broke down the teams biggest strength, biggest weakness, and the X-Factor to watch out for this year:  Biggest strength: Tom Brady only had one wide receiver or tight end clear a 70.0 receiving grade in his final season with New England in 2019, and Julian Edelman (72.4) barely met the threshold. But in 2020, Tampa Bay had six different wide receivers and tight ends record at least a 75.0 receiving grade, including O.J. Howard in limited action. Its one of the deepest receiving corps in the NFL, extending beyond those six to include promising young players such as Scotty Miller, Tyler Johnson and rookie Jaelon Darden. Biggest weakness: Running back Leonard Fournettes stretch of success last postseason doesnt change the fact that 19.1% of his carries have gone for first downs or touchdowns since entering the NFL (third lowest among 30 running backs with 500-plus attempts). Ronald Jones II was an effective runner last season (84.7 rushing grade), but he cant be relied upon on passing downs. Jones tallied just 165 receiving yards on 41 targets in 2020. Its difficult to find a true weakness on this roster, but the running back position is the closest thing to it in the starting lineup. X factor for 2021: Linebacker Devin White recorded an 83.5 coverage grade across his final five games of the 2020 season, three of which were playoff games. White also came up with 10 quarterback pressures and four sacks over that stretch. The next step in his development is to play at that level with more consistency, like his teammate Lavonte David has done for years. Theres no denying that Whites speed in the middle of Tampa Bays defense can be a game-changer. Its hard to bet against the Bucs this year, despite the fact that plenty of other talented teams will be gunning to knock them off their championship perch this time around. Staying healthy will be key, but the Bucs will have the benefit of a much more normal offseason and preseason, as opposed to last year, when it took them three-quarters of the regular season just to find their chemistry.
