How the hell did Devin White lose his starting spot?

I guess I closed my eyes when he seemed to be a perennial pro bowl player.
Now Britt is the starter.

It faked out the announcer too. Surprising.

Glad you started this thread because I was coming to ask this question. I know he requested a trade last year.

He sat out week 15 with what he called a “lingering foot issue” … maybe he’s lost a step because of it and Buccs are fortunate to have another equal for him to split reps?

He hasn’t been a good player for a couple years now. Super athletic but has yet to learn how to actually play LB. Has horrible gap discipline and runs himself out of plays way to often

Has been one of the worst ranked LBers per PFF the last few years.

Good I will take him in Pittsburgh next year. He is a prototypical Steeler LB.

I remember seeing some film breakdowns of him in college that helped understand what PFF is looking at. He used to do everything wrong and still make plays because he was such a superior athlete to everyone else. PFF hated him each week but he still dominated. Now, it’s not so easy in the NFL. You’ve got to play smart and fast.

-Drama with his coach over saying he could play one Sunday, but then not being able to.
-TB is loaded at LB.
-Devin White still plays but rotates in.
