Tampa Bay Buccaneers Training Camp Preview: A Look at the Offensive Line

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are gearing up for their 2024 training camp, and one position group that is generating a lot of buzz is the offensive line. With three top-60 draft picks in the last five years, including first-round selection Graham Barton, the Bucs are looking to solidify their offensive front.

Barton is expected to start at center during training camp and could provide an immediate upgrade for a unit that struggled at times last season. He is described as an extremely athletic and high-IQ player who can make quick decisions under pressure.

The Bucs also spent resources in free agency to get bigger along the interior of their offensive line, bringing in Ben Bredeson and Sua Opeta to compete for starting spots. Robert Hainsey, who started the last two seasons at center for the Bucs, found himself outmatched by bigger and stronger defensive tackles.

Barton is poised to win the starting center job out of camp, but he will face competition from Hainsey and other players vying for roster spots. Here's a closer look at each offensive lineman who could make an impact during training camp:

Graham Barton (Center)
