Buccaneers' Devin White says he's the best linebacker in the NFL

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Devin White earned 2019 All-Rookie Team honors, was named All-Pro Second-Team for the 2020 season and won his first Super Bowl last Sunday night. 

It's understandable the 22-year-old is filled with confidence after he tallied 12 tackles and an interception in the Super Bowl LV victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. 

"I mean I respect all those guys, even the guys that’s not that much older than me," White said during a Thursday appearance on NFL Network's "Good Morning Football." 

"Man, right now, as in just finishing that year, man I got to put myself No. 1 and there’s not no cockiness about it. Put on the tape.

"And I feel like teams don’t even run toss sweeps against us no more because they know I’m going to track it down. I just feel like I bring more to the game than just play-making ability. I feel like I’m exciting to watch because of the energy and passion I play with."

White finished the regular season leading the Buccaneers with 140 tackles and second on the team with nine sacks, and he was arguably Tampa Bay's best overall player during the playoffs once he returned from his COVID-19 absence.
