21. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

OLB. Clemson. Kendall Joseph . 21. player. 48. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers already have a pair for really good linebackers in Lavonte David and Kwon Alexander. They aren’t the problem. The problem is the team has struggled to settle down that third spot next to them. At present it looks like Cameron Lynch is going to be the guy. Not exactly the third ace to make a great linebacking corps. So why not try to go for the triad in 2018 and set things up big? <p>Kendall Joseph was probably the most overlooked player on that Clemson national championship team. While others were hogging the spotlight, he was doing a lot of the dirty work on defense. He made big tackles, provided pressure as a blitzer and showcased his range in pass coverage as well. The guy just knows where the football is and how to get there. Put him in that same role for Tampa and let him hunt.</p>
