As padded work rolls on at the Buccaneers ’ 2025 training camp, the early edge decidedly favors one side: the defense. While both units have their bright spots, coaches and media have overwhelmingly highlighted defensive dominance in recent drills.

The biggest cheer in training camp happened today on Day 9. Running back Bucky Irving went out wide on a play as a wide receiver, and he ran a go-route deep. Kyle Trask found him in stride, and with a corner and safety on him, Irving came down with the catch on the sideline.
