| Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht still has the sticky notes that his 7-year-old placed around the house https://www.tigersjeseyonestop.com/detroit-tigers-jersey/sparky-anderson-jersey in April of last year. On them were names of players he should draft.Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 NFL Draft was unlike any that came before it, with many general managers and team shot-callers making their selections from home, surrounded by their families rather than their scouting staffs. So after Tampa traded up to select Iowa tackle with the 13th overall choice, Licht had a big hug with his wife https://www.tigersjeseyonestop.com/detroit-tigers-jersey/daniel-norris-jersey and their three children instead of high-fiving members of the organization celebrating the addition of what they believed would be a cornerstone of their future.The mood at the Wirfs' household was apparently a bit different. within the family from Mount Vernon, Iowa. But after the 320-pound, 6-foot-5 right tackle fielded calls from https://www.tigersjeseyonestop.com/detroit-tigers-jersey/jordan-zimmermann-jersey the Bucs coaching staff that night, something began to consume him. He described it in a video interview posted by the Bucs as about the fact that he would be blocking for the G.O.A.T., . That feeling, he said, lasted from draft night in late April until the first day of training camp at the end of July.Wirfs would have had every right to panic. Was any 2020 draftee facing more pre sure in their rookie season than Wirfs? Sure, three quarterbacks went in https://www.tigersjeseyonestop.com/detroit-tigers-jersey/willie-horton-jersey the top 10, but were they in a situation where anything short of a Super Bowl would count as a wasted season? Of course not. When you go through all the players selected, 255 in all, none was headed into a role with more riding on their immediate succe s."I don't," https://www.tigersjeseyonestop.com/detroit-tigers-jersey/leonys-martin-jersey Buccaneers offensive line coach Joe Gilbert confirmed when I asked him if there was a player under more pre sure than his right tackle this season. "As soon as Tom joined https://www.tigersjeseyonestop.com/detroit-tigers-jersey/brandon-dixon-jersey the organization, the level of expectation for the guys up front went through the roof."Within those three months, you can imagine Wirfs' mind swirling with fear of failure and pre sure before stepping on a field with the six-time Super Bowl champion."Wave of terror" seems like an apt description. |
