On March 29, Tampa Bay Buccaneers are gearing up for the NFL Draft at the end of April, after grabbing key free agents like Linebacker Alex Anzalone and Ed Ruscher Alquadim Muhammad. Their left tackle spot looks solid with three-time all-pro-tristan Werves back in action. He missed the start of last season due to knee surgery, but is fully healthy now for the upcoming campaign. Earlier this week, Werves kicked back at a real American freestyle wrestling event. After watching Heavyweight Champ Wyatt Hendrickson defend his title, the wrestler spotted Werves in the crowd and called him out for a match right. There in the post-fight interview, fans lit up online, hyped by the exchange, especially since Werves brings real wrestling cred, he won the Iowa Class II, a state heavyweight title as a high school senior back in 2017. No pro-experience yet, but his athletic build screen's potential in the ring. Werves spired back enthusiastically, saying he'd suit up in a singlet and go for that

belt, figuring the team would not mind. Still, with many camp on the horizon and his injury history fresh, the Bucks seem unlikely to greenlight any real scrap. For now, Werves stays sideline as a spectator, while Tampa focuses on draft needs, keeping their star-lined men prepped for gridiron battles instead of body slams.
