INDIANAPOLIS — Jason Licht wishes the NFL scouting combine had not been canceled a year ago due to COVID-19. With all the league coaches and executives annually descending on this midwestern town to evaluate draft prospects, it’s the week for champions to take a bow.
“I wish we had a combine last year,” the Bucs general manager said Tuesday. “I would’ve walked around like Ric Flair.”
Instead, the Bucs are wrestling with how to replace Tom Brady following the quarterback’s retirement after winning 29 games and a Super Bowl in two remarkable seasons in Tampa Bay.
