Episode Details

If the Buccaneers are going to take the next step in 2026, Chris Mathis believes two players in particular have to deliver — one on defense and one on offense. 🔴 Zyon McCollum: After a disappointing 2025 season, McCollum needs to prove he can be healthy, reliable and consistent as a starting cornerback. Chris believes the ceiling of this defense could be heavily influenced by how McCollum performs. ⚡ Emeka Egbuka: With the loss of Mike Evans, Year 2 is a massive opportunity for Egbuka. Chris isn't asking him to be Mike Evans — but he does believe Egbuka needs to produce like a legitimate WR1 and become a consistent, reliable target for Baker Mayfield. One needs to prove he can be trusted. The other needs to prove he's ready to be THE GUY.
