Bucs linebacker Lavonte David is often underrated despite his impressive career since being drafted from the University of Nebraska. ESPN’s Aaron Schatz named him one of the most underrated players in NFL history, highlighting his consistent performance at age 35, including being the all-time leader in defeats since 1991 and ranking high in run tackle efficiency. As David potentially approaches the final year of his career in 2025, it’s crucial for fans to recognize his significant contributions to the Bucs franchise and his status as a defensive leader.
