Impact The 2018 first-round pick was off to a fine start until suffering a fractured leg Week 5 against the Bears, resulting in him landing on injured reserve. However, with the Buccaneers advancing to the NFC Championship Game, Vea had just enough time to heal sufficiently and make his return in that contest. He logged 33 snaps in that contest, albeit without accruing any statistics. If he isn't quite already back to 100 percent health, the jumbo-sized defensive tackle should be at full strength for Tampa Bay's offseason program. He'll once again play a pivotal role in helping the Buccaneers maintain their No. 1 ranking against the run in 2021.
