It’s not a complete surprise to Egbuka already playing a large role for the Buccaneers. He was reportedly impressive during the team’s training camp and has been excited to contribute to the team.
“They have all the belief in the world of me, which gives me a ton of confidence to be able to go out there and do what God created me to do,” Egbuka said in August. “… “They’ve asked me to do a lot of things, which is exactly what I love.
“I want to be used in a ton of different ways, get the ball to me in creative ways, all that type of stuff. I try to be a Swiss Army knife.”
