The Tampa Bay Buccaneers enter the 2021 NFL season as the defending Super Bowl champions. Trouncing the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9 in Super Bowl LV, the Buccaneers seem like a force to reckon with in the upcoming season.

With the side retaining all its starters from their Super Bowl win, they have stars like Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, and Michael Evans to fall back on. But there’s another star they have in the mix. One who didn’t start but scored a touchdown in Super Bowl LV.

Antonio Brown is the player being referred to in this discussion. The Buccaneers wide receiver found his footing late last season and, thankfully, managed to steer clear of trouble as well.

But recently, Brown came under the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. The wide out was involved in a major bust up during the side’s joint training camp with the Tennessee Titans last Thursday.

A total of four fights broke out during the practice. But Bucs Head Coach Bruce Arians doesn’t seem to be too bothered.

Addressing the media, Bruce Arians said that none of his players involved in the bust ups will receive any punishments. In fact, the Head Coach downplayed the entire situation altogether.

“Fighting? I didn’t see any fighting,” Arians said. “A lot of pushing and shoving, but I didn’t see any fists thrown.”
