And you can see it by the way he carries stuff in the locker room, the way he is on the field. He's always already like a leader for us, a leader for those guys in the room. He's ready to get after it. And just me talking to him, I can see it."Buccaneers quarterback JJ Watt believes that Lavonte David is "criminally underrated"NFL analyst Aaron Schatz shared an interesting stat list in April, noting the most defeats in one season since 1994.
