Buccaneers Defensive Player Vita Vea Leads NFC Pro Bowl Votes at Defensive Lineman

On By Littum

A lot of focus has been on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense, and for good reason — they’re currently the No. 4 scoring offense in the league. But there have been a few defensive standouts for Tampa Bay this year, and one of them is being recognized by fans around the league.

The National Football League is set to host the 2025 Pro Bowl Games — a contest for which Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield was named MVP in its 2024 iteration — and voting is nearly over. As it does, the NFL has named the leaders of each conference at each position, and one of those leaders happens to be Buccaneers defensive tackle Vita Vea, who leads the NFC at his position:

Vea is having a strong year in Tampa Bay. He has totaled 35 tackles and six sacks on the year so far, and still has three games to do serious damage. Vea has been a particularly nasty pairing with Buccaneers edge rusher Calijah Kancey, who also has six sacks on the year — the two both lead the team in that category.
