Just like the era of music, the 90s (in our humble opinion the best musical decade ever) have had some enormous hits in Tampa Bay Buccaneers franchise history. The 99 jersey will never be worn again because it was returned when Warren Sapp went into the Hall of Fame. Simeon Rice, who donned #97 when he arrived as the final piece to one of the most dominant defenses ever, may be the best pure pass rusher in team annals. The man currently sporting the 92 jersey (more on him below) has played in more games than any other defensive lineman in history. Gerald McCoy wore #93 in six Pro Bowls, then handed it off to Super Bowl hero Ndamukong Suh.

Will Calijah Kancey, last year's first-round draft pick develop into the next superstar to wear a 90s jersey for the Buccaneers? That's the team's hope and perhaps Kancey's ultimate goal, but for now, as the Bucs' 2024 training camp is set to begin, the immediate focus is on the second year player using his promising rookie campaign as a springboard to an even more impactful sophomore outing.

Rookies will report for the training camp next Monday, with the veterans joining them on Tuesday. The first practice, which is not open to the public, is scheduled for next Wednesday morning. The first open practice is on Thursday and the first one in full pads is Monday, July 29. Mark your calendars, big guys, because that's when the fun begins after an offseason program conducted without pads or intentional contact.

Most of the men we'll be looking at today as we conclude our player-by-player run through the Bucs' 90-man roster fall into this category. Over the past two weeks we have suggested possible camp objectives for each player on that roster from jersey numbers 0 to 89. Now we finish up with the 90s, and a lot of guys who are ready to try to impose their will on the team's offensive linemen.

#90 DL Logan Hall: Hall, the 33rd overall pick in the 2022 draft, took a step forward in terms of his integration into the defense in his second season, going from zero starts and a 36% snap share on defense to 13 and 52, respectively. He was a vital part of one of the league's best run defenses, but as a pass rusher he finished the season with just 0.5 sacks and one quarterback hit. With Kancey and Vita Vea also in the middle of the Bucs' defensive front, the team may not be expecting Hall to carry the interior pass rush game, but as an individual he would surely like to make a bigger mark in opposing backfields. As a lineman, Hall profiles similarly to teammate Will Gholston, who has never put up gaudy sack numbers but has had some seasons in which he was more of a force as a pass rusher, such as 2020 when he led the team with 20 QB hits and 2021 when he had a career-high 4.5 sacks. As he heads into his third Buccaneer training camp, Hall will surely look to maintain or even increase the size of his role in the Bucs' defense, and continue to work on his pass rush moves to be even more of a force on the inside.

#91 DL Mike Greene: Greene originally arrived as an undrafted rookie in 2022, and a full year on the Bucs' practice squad did him a world of good. He was very impressive in his second NFL training camp last summer, to the point that he not only earned a spot on the active roster but was first in line to start when Kancey missed some time due to injury in September. Unfortunately, he lost the second half of the season to a calf injury suffered in practice, so now he will come into his third camp looking to regain the career momentum he had built up last summer. Greene, who profiles mostly as a three-technique, shares some traits with Kancey, including a quick first step, a high motor and below average size and length for the position, but he didn't come to the NFL with the same arsenal of pass-rush moves. Developing more as an interior pass rusher would be a worthwhile camp goal for Greene as he looks to continue moving upward in his NFL career.

#92 DL William Gholston: Gholston is the aforementioned Buccaneer with the most games played for the franchise as a defensive lineman. A fourth round pick in 2013, Gholston is back for his 12th season after already appearing in 169 regular season contests, the sixth most among all players in team history. Though he played a career low 23% of the team's defensive snaps last season, he continues to bring value as a run stopper in base packages. Gholston doesn't have much left to prove in his career, but one of his camp goals could conceivably be to serve as a mentor to a defensive line group that includes a number of young players who would be thrilled to have a career as lengthy as his.

#93 DL Eric Banks: This will be the first training camp in Tampa for Banks, as he joined the team this past January on a reserve/futures contract. However, he has seen a bit of regular season action since first signing with the Rams as an undrafted free agent in 2020. He played three games with the Chargers in 2021 and another three with the Cardinals over the past two campaigns. He actually made the Rams' active roster to start his rookie season but ended up spending most of it on the practice squad. He also started the 2021 season on the Chargers' 53-man roster after being claimed off waivers following the leaguewide round of final cuts, but he has not yet spent an extended time on the regular season roster for any of his NFL teams. A former high school quarterback, Banks has athletic talent and the ability to shoot gaps, and he uses his long wingspan well. Interior linemen who can get pressure up the middle are highly prized in the NFL, so if Banks can show any sign of that in this year's camp he will have a better chance of getting back onto a regular season roster or, if that doesn't come to pass, sticking around on the practice squad.

#94 DL Calijah Kancey: Kancey saw his rookie season slowed at the beginning by a calf injury that cost him most of training camp and all but a handful of snaps in the first four regular season games. Still, he came back to show flashes of the intense pass-rush ability that made him the 19th player off the board in the 2023 draft. He finished the season with 4.0 sacks and added another 1.5 in two playoff games, and was the team leader with 12 quarterback hits. He also had 10 tackles for loss, tied for second among all NFL rookies. Kancey got hurt in the first week of camp last year, so an obviously goal for him will be to stay healthy throughout the preseason this year and be able to start the regular season with a head of steam. Otherwise, Kancey simply needs to continue learning how to use his prodigious athletic gifts and well-developed set of pass rush moves to win consistently on the NFL level.

#95 DL C.J. Brewer: Like Banks, Brewer came to the Buccaneers having already had a small taste of regular season NFL football. In his case, he got into two contests with the Bills as a rookie in 2022 after signing as an undrafted free agent. Still, he has spent almost all of his time on the practice squads in Buffalo and Tampa over his first two NFL seasons, so the clear goal for him in Year Three is to take the next step and secure a spot on the active roster. Brewer did display the ability to get into the backfield during his college days at Coastal Carolina, recording 16.0 sacks and 32 tackles for loss across 56 games. The Buccaneers clearly saw something worth developing during Brewer's season on their practice squad, as they signed him back immediately after his contract expired in January. Brewer is an a similar position as Banks, looking to show that coveted interior pass rush spark, but he has the advantage of a body of practice field work in front of Tampa Bay coaches. Like Banks, his goal should be to make his biggest mark when the pads are on and the reps are live during the Bucs' three preseason games.

#96 DL Greg Gaines: Gaines played last season in Tampa on a one-year contract after coming over from the Rams, and he showed the team enough to get another one-year deal this offseason. Gaines was solidly entrenched in the Bucs' rotation up front, as his 42% snap share was fourth behind Kancey, Hall and Vita Vea, and he saw at least 20 defensive plays in all but two games, playoffs included. With the team bringing back essentially its entire interior line cast from last year, and adding some young roster hopefuls like Judge Culpepper and Lwal Uguak, Gaines will be working this summer to maintain that decently-sized role on defense, and perhaps expand on it. Though he finished with just one sack in his first year as a Buc, he did record 8.5 over the previous two seasons combined in Los Angeles. Showing that same pass rush ability from the inside in practice and, in particular, during the preseason games, would go a long way towards meeting that goal.

#97 LS Zach Triner: As we noted while speculating on the camp goals for first-year long-snapper Evan Deckers, the battle for the Bucs' snapping job will only leave one man standing. NFL teams only carry one long-snapper during the regular season, and the Bucs only had a second one (Deckers) on the practice squad for a brief period last season while Triner was working through an injury. So this is a straightforward camp goal: Win the battle and retain the job he has held for the past five years. The job would seem to be his to lose, as he has handled the assignment well since 2019 and got a new contract this offseason. However, Special Teams Coordinator Thomas McGaughey said that the competition is real, and that Deckers will have an opportunity to unseat incumbent. Triner will surely be focused on what he tries to do in camp every summer – make every snap without error so that the coaching staff will not have to think about a possible replacement. When the preseason games roll on, both Triner and Deckers will also have a chance to show that they can be an asset in punt coverage, as well.

#98 OLB Anthony Nelson: There's a starting spot available on the Bucs' defensive front after Shaquil Barrett was released in March for salary cap reasons, and Nelson has filled that role before, opening eight games in the latter half of 2022. He set his career high that season with 5.5 sacks and also forced three fumbles, several of which proved to be keys to Buccaneer victories down the stretch. Nelson would appear one of the candidates to fill that open spot opposite Yaya Diaby, along with Joe Tryon-Shoyinka and rookie second-rounder Chris Braswell. Even when he hasn't started, Nelson has been a regular in the edge rush rotation for the last four years, seeing action on at least 30% of the defensive snaps in each of those seasons. He also plays a significant role on defense, with a roughly 50% snap share in that phase of the game during his career; with the new kickoff rules, it's possible that he could be even more involved in the kick-and-return game if the Bucs go with bigger lineups for that play. By now Nelson knows that Tampa Bay coaches are keen to see consistent, day-to-day good showings during training camp and will be looking to show, as he has the past five summers, that he is that sort of performer.
