It's April 22nd. From kickoff to the final whistle, this is NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. The NFL Draft kicks off soon, and while everyone's eyes are on first round drama, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have built a powerhouse from second round, Steels. Over the years, General Manager Jason Lycht and his crew, nailed picks like Antoine Winfield Jr. at 45 in 2020 and LeBonte David. At 58 in 2012, turning late selections into franchise cornerstones. These guys didn't just contribute, they dominated. Winfield became a first team all pro, and the highest paid defensive back ever, snagging turnovers and a super bowl ring right out the gate. David, the undersized linebacker heart of the defense, racked up over 1,500 tackles plus sacks and picks, anchoring tampas, squats for over a decade. Things still buzz about icons like Mike Allstad, pick 35 in 1996, a six time pro-buller
who bulldoze for 71, touchdowns and a super bowl. Then there's Oli Marpet from 61 in 2015, a division three gym who locked down the offensive line until his early retirement left a huge void. Carlton Davis III snagged at 63 in 2018, shut down receivers as the top corner, leading in past breakups before a trade two, Detroit. These picks fuel two super bowl wins and proved you don't need top five hype to change a team. As the Bucks hit the clock this week, expect Lick to hunt more second round magic history says it'll pay off big for tampas next run.
