Buccaneers GM compares David Walker's potential to rookie Rueben Bain

Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht has praised second-year edge rusher David Walker, stating that excitement surrounding him is on par with that of rookie Rueben Bain, the team’s 15th overall pick. Walker has shown his potential during training camp, recording six sacks in the last seven practices. After recovering from an ACL injury, he is now displaying his skills in full pads for the first time. Licht acknowledged that while there are high expectations for both players, it remains to be seen how their performance will unfold in the regular season. Walker's emergence is bolstering the Buccaneers’ defensive depth, which includes Bain and Al-Quadin Muhammad, who recently joined the team.
