\t\t\tBucs Tout Jamel Dean Accomplishments
\nFebruary 1st, 2026 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Pending free agent Bucs cornerback Jamel Dean had a heck of a standout 2025 season according to some legitimate metrics.<\/p>\n

Over at the Buccaneers\u2019 official website, the team recently shared official NFL NextGen stats data on Dean that could explain why he was named a Pro Bowl alternate.<\/p>\n

Per the Bucs, Dean allowed the lowest passer rating [in the NFL] when targeted among cornerbacks with a minimum of 35 defensive targets, according to NextGen Stats. \u201cAdditionally, he had the second-lowest completion percentage when targeted among cornerbacks with a minimum of 35 defensive targets in 2025 (43.1%),\u201d per the Bucs.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s quite impressive.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, it was Dean who agreed to have his contract slashed before last season while fellow Bucs cornerback Zyon McCollum was gifted a new fat contract and then struggled in 2025.<\/p>\n

Still, Dean isn\u2019t versatile and he isn\u2019t strong in zone coverage. That seems to be a problem in Todd Bowles\u2019 defense. And he\u2019s hardly the most durable guy.<\/p>\n

Will the Bucs miss Dean next season? If so, that would signal a problem.<\/p>\n

It\u2019ll be interesting to see where Dean lands in free agency and how much he\u2019s paid.<\/p>\n
