Tampa Bay runs a blitz-heavy 3-4 defense that prioritizes athletic linebackers who can rush the passer and drop into coverage.
Devante Bond projects as a Year 1 special teams contributor and potential rotational inside linebacker with the ceiling to develop into a starting three-down player.
A slow, two-gapping 3-4 scheme that asks its inside linebackers to consistently take on and shed blocks at the line of scrimmage.
Bond's explosive athleticism and versatility align well with the Buccaneers' defensive philosophy, allowing him to contribute in multiple facets of the game.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
