The Tampa Bay Buccaneers won the Super Bowl last season, so that meant that the Bucs picked last in the first round of the NFL Draft. With the 32nd pick the Bucs picked Edge rusher, Joe Tryon, from Washington. Joe turned 22 on Thursday, so it was a very happy birthday for him as he joins the Super Bowl champions.

Joe is 6 foot 5 and weighs 259 pounds. Steve Muench of ESPN said of Tryon, “The Super Bowl champs return every starter so there aren’t any real pressing needs, but Tryon is a good value pick and he should contribute as a rotational player as a rookie.”
