The Tampa Bay Buccaneers enter this season as a legitimate dark horse to win the Super Bowl.

Plenty of that has to do with their offense.

They were already set in the passing game, which is why some people were surprised to see that they took wide receiver Emeka Egbuka in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Now, he should feel even more comfortable, as he has regained to his familiar jersey number.

“WR Emeka Egbuka is switching from No. 9 to No. 2, which is the same number he wore at Ohio State. QB Kyle Trask had it, but he was released and Egbuka now takes it,” Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team wrote on X.

Egbuka looked like a veteran in his first NFL training camp.

He reportedly built a solid chemistry with quarterback Baker Mayfield, and even though there are plenty of targets in the passing game, he should be in for a big role as a rookie.

The Buccaneers have one of the most physical and productive wide receiver duos in the game with Chris Godwin Jr. and franchise legend Mike Evans, and adding a playmaker in the slot only makes them better.

The team hasn’t missed a beat since Tom Brady retired, with Mayfield keeping them in playoff contention.

They’re the favorites to win the NFC South again this season, and it’s hard to envision them losing ground in the division, especially if Egbuka is as good as advertised.
