Lavonte David Dips To 56th In NFL Network Top-100
June 3rd, 2015
Bucs super stud linebacker Lavonte David can’t make a Pro Bowl, but his peers keep on honoring him.
Only players vote to rank each other for the popular NFL Network “Top-100” series. David was revealed tonight as the 56th best of 2015.
Unfortunately, that’s a drop for him after vaulting to 35th last year, his debut on charts.
The fall is no surprise. David thrived and set records in Greg Schiano’s blitz-happy system, but David made relatively few impact plays in Lovie Smith’s system.
At 25 years old, David’s best years are ahead of him, and Joe can’t wait to see the impact he might have in Year 2 of the Lovie regime. It also would be nice if Lovie and Leslie Frazier got a bit more creative to maximize David’s immense speed and talent.

This guy is our best player. I hope we lock him up long term and give him one helluva signing bonus this year, to free up additional cap space in coming years.

I don’t know about best player, but agree fully with locking his ass up to a long term deal

Harlem I think that prediction is highly possible. Never been done but somebody gotta one day make it happen. Might as well be us. The squad will be a well oiled machine when them super Sunday folks come a calling.

Here’s hoping Lovie and his uncreative staff unleash David to elevate this d.

Anyone here think LVD would be ranked a paltry 56th if the Bucs were a winning team last yr??? In a game where you only have a 53 man roster, if you are ranked 56th in the League coming from a 2 and 14 team then you are actually a BEAST!!!

Can’t Believe the Bolts allowed 2 scores so late. GO Bolts!!

I could be wrong but I think I heard that right after we won the SB in 03. Didn’t we host the SB next yr and were the favorite to repeat?? Who knows. Im an old fart.

Not sure if you heard Joe on the JoeBucsFan Hour, but LVD is not going anywhere. He is not close to being signed (right now) but the Bucs have the franchise tag the next two seasons. Signed or not, LVD not going anywhere any time soon. Everyone in the front office all the way to the top loves Lavonte.

The writing is on the wall. He’s prob looking for the exit door. You heard joe use the “franchise tag” yesterday. That means he’s gone in 2 years. #itsabucslifebaby
