What was missing from the additions of Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski in 2020 was the upside that was seen in Tampa running back Leonard Fournette.

The former Jaguars running back signed a one-year contract to join the Buccaneers at the time and proved to be an important part of the club's Super Bowl LV title run.

Fournette then signed another one-year deal after the offseason and again impressed in the 2021 campaign, where he totaled over 1,200 yards.
