The Bucs organization’s 2024 NFL Draft class is one of the best in the NFL’s 32 clubs. The team acquired a star running back, a starting center, a promising wide receiver, and a playmaker in the secondary.
Bucs fans know how special this class is for the team, but so does ESPN as they proved when they named their All-Rookie team.
Bucky Irving was named their first-team selection at running back, second team went to Tyrone Tracy Jr. of the Giants. Irving became just the 31st rookie in NFL history to accumulate over 1,500 yards of offense, the first since Najee Harris in 2021.
Jalen McMillan was a second-team choice in a loaded wide receiver class, which speaks to the year he had. McMillan finished the regular season with a touchdown in five straight games which was the second most all-time behind Randy Moss (seven games).
Rounding things out was Bucs center Graham Barton’s selection to the second team at his position. Ahead of him was Steelers center Zach Frazier, but Barton was also well deserving. The Steelers’ center proved pivotal to their playoff birth and solving their longtime offensive line issues so he got the nod.
