The heart and soul of Tampa Bay’s defense, David has played his entire nine-year career with the Buccaneers, who took him in the second round of the 2012 NFL Draft. This past season was the first time David made a postseason appearance with the team, and he along with fellow linebacker Devin White, easily proved to be one of the best linebacker tandems in all of football.
