The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had the 29th-ranked defense in 2024, and they knew they had to address that during the offseason.
Two ways to improve your pass defense are by getting better at rushing the passer, so he has less time to pass and process what the defense is throwing at him. The Bucs did that when they signed Haason Reddick and drafted David Walker and Elijah Roberts. You can also get better play out of your secondary, which the Bucs are trying to do by moving Tykee Smith to safety and drafting Benjamin Morrison and Jacob Parrish.
Despite being on the fringe of the starters on the depth chart, PFF believes that one of those players has a chance to fight for a starting role.
Pro Football Focus has named Jacob Parrish, the rookie cornerback out of Kansas State, as someone who "Could win a competition." Parrish aced the draft process from being at the Senior Bowl competing and winning coverage drills, to testing well at the Scouting Combine, he has done it all. Now, the Bucs hope that he will enter rookie minicamp and continue his momentum into training camp and beyond.
If he can keep the momentum going through all those things, he is going to be in a very good spot to play a meaningful role in Week 1 for the Bucs.
