He mentions, “BA, he’s a great coach. He’s definitely always having input on what’s going around in the building and stuff like that. He’s a real football guy. Just having his presence around is really good to have. Just because of the type of man he is and how he treats his coaches and how he treats his players. So you didn’t think he’ll be leaving no time soon, but that’s the one that kind of caught me off guard”
Lavonte David had a feeling TB12 would return
There’s no denying that when TB12 announced his comeback, it thrilled most the NFL fans. It took just 41 days for TB12 to revoke his decision to deal with some unfinished business. However, it didn’t blow Levante away. He had a 70-30 or 80-20 percent feeling he would be back.
