There’s a long list of Buccaneers with much to prove in training camp.
Doug Martin is still trying to rebuild trust with teammates and coaches. Roberto Aguayo is trying to show his rookie struggles are behind him.
Noah Spence is trying to convince Mike Smith that he’s more than just a situational pass rusher. Ali Marpet is trying to make the difficult transition from guard to center — with no experience at the position. (more…)
