The 2026 NFL Combine has its official roster. The league announced 319 players invited to the event, which will be held in Indianapolis from February 23 to March 2. As in previous years, this event marks the true start of the Draft process and offers teams—including the Tampa Bay Buccaneers—their first opportunity to evaluate talent in one place.
Although it’s still too early to talk about Tampa Bay’s specific goals, the Combine is always useful for identifying profiles that fit into schemes, future needs, and roster depth.
A Complete Combine
The published roster shows a wide distribution across all offensive and defensive positions. The high number of wide receivers, offensive and defensive linemen, and a deep roster of defensive backs and linebackers is particularly noteworthy.
Rather than focusing on specific names in this initial phase, the real value of the Combine lies in the amount of talent available and how the players evolve after the physical tests, interviews, and medical evaluations.
From The Buccaneers Perspective
Without making any firm predictions—because the Draft process is still in its early stages—there are several areas that historically tend to attract attention in Tampa Bay during the Combine:
1. Trenches: Offensive And Defensive Line
The number of invited linemen allows for an assessment of depth and rotations. In events like this, the Bucs often focus heavily on physical measurements, lateral agility, and position versatility.
2. Athletic Secondary School
The Combine’s speed and change-of-direction tests are key to evaluating defensive backs. Tampa Bay has prioritized players with range, speed, and the ability to play in different schemes in recent years.
3. Explosive Linebackers
Third and very important, what Tampa lacks: that 23-year-old Lavonte David. No further questions, Your Honor.
More Than Physical Tests: Interviews And Assessments
The 2026 NFL Combine isn’t just about running the 40-yard dash or lifting weights. For teams, personal interviews, medical evaluations, and private meetings are just as, if not more, important than the athletic tests.
That’s where many franchises —including the Buccaneers— identify leadership, maturity, and cultural fit within the locker room.
