Rookie Miami Mauler edge rusher Rueben Bain.

It’s here!

And it will feel very real on Wednesday.

This morning, Bucs rookies report to training camp. Rueben Bain is in the house!

They’ll get physicals, maybe even a conditioning test, and have meetings. The veterans are in tomorrow and practice starts early morning on Wednesday. The first practice open to fans at One Buc Palace is on Thursday. The first preseason game is Aug. 14, at the Jets.

Welcome to football season.
