Tom Brady and his Tampa Bay Buccaneers teammates started their 2021 NFL preseason with sheer determination and dedication. The reigning champions knew they have a prize on their head ahead of what promises to be a tough title defense. GM Jason Licht and coach Bruce Arians did their best in the offseason to hold on to their key names including Antonio Brown and Leonard Fournette.
