The Tampa Bay Buccaneers left tackle is ready to silence all of his doubters, and that should be music to Buccaneers fans ears. Throughout his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Donovan Smith has been seen as the weak link on a very strong offense of line, whether that be fair or foul.

They may or not be the best players on the club, but they would be very conspicuous were they to be absent for any reason.

Confirming those complaints, the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control issued a violation last July after on-site septic systems failed, resulting in untreated wastewater surfacing in the community. The owner was hit with another violation in September, citing similar issues.

Week in and week out Donovan Smith has shown that maybe he should’ve been the guy to take over for Tyler Shough much earlier than he was. This past week against the now ninth ranked Baylor Bears he threw for 262 yards and two touchdowns. He didn’t have his normal impact on the ground but he managed to be consistent through the air.
