A cool-down trailer the Bucs have this year at training camp adjacent to One Buc Palace. It’s basically a walk-in meat locker about 20-25 feet long. The slimy Saints have one and they pack ice in it. The rig has two benches inside that are as long as the cooler. Players hop in from time to time during practice if they are getting overheated and sometimes after practice.

Rookie skill position players are really starting to make an impact. Cade Otton might just push Cam Brate at No. 1 tight end if he continues his recent improvement. Zyon McCollum finally showed off his athletic ability. Rachaad White continues to run effectively. Ko Kieft, who could always catch the ball, is beginning to look smooth in the passing game. And a backup expected to be a cornerstone player in the near future continues to see his arrow point down.

All of this and more in the final Sunday practice of Bucs training camp 2022. [read more]
