5 things to know about the Bucs draft pick Emeka Egbuka
The Buccaneers shocked everyone in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft by selecting Emeka Egbuka 19th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Jason Licht hit on several offensive players in the 2024 NFL Draft and decided to keep going with his hot hand in 2025.
