The Bucs secondary is one that was tested time and again in 2024, and they failed the majority of them. Whether it be due to injury or holes in their defense, they were one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL.
That is why, when San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan mentioned that star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk could make his debut in 2025 against the Bucs in Week 6, we took notice.

Shanahan told the media, “I always see them around Week 6, which, that could mean Week 10. That could be Week 5. That’s the area where I start thinking about it, which is a long ways away. I know it’s not Week 1 or anything like that. So it’s something I’m not thinking about too much.”
Aiyuk was coming off a massive contract extension before he tore his ACL in 2024. Before that, his play had earned him his contract by having 294 catches for 4,305 yards and 25 touchdowns. His return could be troublesome for the Bucs, so it will be a storyline we will have to watch as time goes on.
