Defense Attorneys - Lehman McCoy
The field is their courtroom. The Offense is their Plaintiff. Their.. well.. you get the idea. With the NFL Draft still over a month away, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were able to pry away two 2nd round picks from fellow NFC opponents on Wednesday with the signings of New Orleans Saints Linebacker Matt McCoy and former Detroit Lion Teddy Lehman.
Already established as one of the leagues best young talents, former Dick Butkus and Chuck Bednarik award winner Teddy Lehman will again attempt to beat the injury bug in 2008, and as a Buccaneer fan, I cant even imagine the benefits if he does.
After being drafted with the 5th pick in 2004, Lehman literally played himself out of his well-deserved starting role. He played in all 16 games as a rookie compiling 102 tackles, but that's not the story. As a rookie, Teddy Lehman played in 1,054 defensive plays and 171 plays on special teams which totals an outstanding 1,225 plays in his first 6 months in the NFL.
Unfortunately this workhorse would never find his calling in Detroit, tallying only 18 tackles in 2005 and 2006. In 2007, his 27 tackles came in 16 games as a special teams player, his final season with the team.
For Matt McCoy, it's his 3rd and maybe final chance in the NFL. He's got the true ability to start in the NFL as we saw in 2006 where he tallied 66 tackles in 15 games with the Philladelphia Eagles and had 5 or more tackles in 8 of those games.
Though rattled with injuries in recent years, the Buccaneers payed a small price for the potential to have one of the leagues youngest yet most productive Linebacker units in 2008.
