Bucs Sign Veteran Linebacker Alex Anzalone: A Leadership Boost for Todd Bowles Defense The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed veteran linebacker Alex Anzalone to a two-year deal, bolstering their defense with a player who boasts impressive statistics from his time with the Detroit Lions. Anzalone, a four-time team captain at the University of Florida, brings leadership and quickness to the Bucs defense, having started 73 games and recorded 490 tackles, 9 sacks, 33 passes defensed, and 3 interceptions over the past five seasons. Fans are excited about his return to Florida, where he set Lions records for the longest streak of five or more tackles in 30 straight games and became one of only four players in team history with multiple seasons of at least 125 tackles. In 2022, Anzalone had a career-high 125 tackles and ranked fifth among linebackers in pressures, according to Pro Football Focus.
