Buccaneers offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs has been breaking jaw-dropping records since joining Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Starting his journey as a rookie, the champ has won many accolades, including being a two-time Pro Bowler and a First-team all-pro in just four seasons at the NFL. On top of that, even GOAT Tom Brady has acknowledged his indomitable talent in a couple of his interviews.
He was on the right side of the Buccaneers. But now he is taking on a new challenge, which has turned his world upside down. After Brady’s retirement, he had to switch positions to left tackle, as the long-time left tackle was cut off by Tampa Bay because of his contract negotiation. Despite an unbreakable aura, Wirfs has been struggling while adapting to new tactics in a match, which has been visible in his recent life updates.
