PFF grades paint a grim picture of Bucs’ preseason finale

David Walker led the Bucs defense with a 91.0 PFF grade, while Luke Haggard earned Tampa Bay's highest offensive mark.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' preseason loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars was a disappointing 19-0 defeat, and Pro Football Focus (PFF) found reasons to criticize beyond the final score. Offensively, Tampa Bay managed only 87 total yards and 31 net passing yards. Individual performances, however, painted a different picture. David Walker led the defense with an impressive 91.0 grade, while offensive standout Luke Haggard received an 80.1 grade.

The team's defense as a whole was bolstered by standout performances from David Walker, Elijah Roberts, and Miles Killebrew. Meanwhile, the offense saw only a few bright spots, with Luke Haggard leading the pack with an 80.1 offensive grade. The grading system revealed that despite the team's struggles, there were glimmers of potential in individual performances.
