Has become one of the most dominating run-stuffing nose tackles in the NFL and was signed to a lucrative contract extension late in
2020. Had a career high in sacks in 2024. Missed much of the 2020 season but returned in time for the Championship Game win over
Green Bay. Has also played snaps on offense as a blocker and scored on a goal-line pass play in the 2019 win in Atlanta. Was the Bucs'
top draft pick in 2018 having been selected with the 12th overall selection.
