TAMPA Jameis Winston Jersey , Fla. (AP) — Gerald McCoy says he’s approaching his ninth training camp with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers the same way he has all the others.The six-time Pro Bowl selection really doesn’t feel there’s any reason to change because attitude is a big part of his success.“I always try and stay in the rookie mindset, always willing to learn more, knowing I can learn more, and just do my best to learn more,” the 29-year-old defensive tackle said.“I’m not Gerald McCoy. I’m No. 93 on a 91-man roster, trying to make the team. Once I make the team, then I’ll be Gerald McCoy. … Until then, I’m just another guy trying to make the team.”It’s not the first time a player of his stature has claimed the same thing, but there’s no disputing the 6-foot-4, 300-pound McCoy’s desire to get better and help the Bucs re-emerge as contenders.Tampa Bay has missed the playoffs the past 10 seasons, the second-longest drought in the NFL behind the Cleveland Browns, who haven’t earned a playoff berth since 2002.McCoy, who has 48½ career sacks and has been selected to play in six consecutive Pro Bowls, was the third overall pick in the 2010 draft.Personal success, however, has been bittersweet.A year ago, Tampa Bay’s defense ranked at or near the bottom of league rankings in several key categories, including passing, total yards and points allowed Mike Evans Jersey , as well as sacks and third-down efficiency.General manager Jason Licht and coach Dirk Koetter are counting on the trend changing after upgrading around McCoy with the offseason acquisition of veteran defensive linemen Jason Pierre-Paul, Beau Allen, Vinny Curry and Mitch Unrein, as well as first-round draft pick Vita Vea.Pierre-Paul had 58½ sacks over the past eight seasons with the New York Giants. Allen and Curry were productive members of a deep defensive line rotation that helped the Philadelphia Eagles win the Super Bowl last winter, while Unrein was part of Denver’s AFC championship team five years ago. Vea was the 12th pick of the draft.Understandably, McCoy is excited.“We brought in four new guys that have all played in a Super Bowl, and three of them have won it. That’s a lot of experience. Guys who know what to do and how to do it — do it the right way,” the ninth-year pro said.“Just the (defensive line) room overall is different, a lot of experience, and a lot of knowledge. Guys bouncing ideas off of each other, things you’ve never heard before. … It’s only just going to make us great in the long run,” McCoy added. “But, we’ve got a lot of work to do.”Curry, who started every game for the Eagles last season, said the linemen are building chemistry and learning more and more about each other every day in practice.“My biggest thing is I’m telling everyone: winning is contagious,” Curry said.“It’s the National Football League, everybody is good,” Curry added. “It comes down to discipline and how bad do you want it.”McCoy is doing his part, too.In addition to picking the brains of the veteran newcomers Gerald McCoy Jersey , he has been spending extra time after practice helping some of the younger players trying to earn jobs.McCoy recalls the early years of his career, when there weren’t any experienced defensive linemen on the team to take him under their wings.“I can honestly say I had no help. When I say help, I mean guidance as far as how to play this (pro) game, at least from a defensive line standpoint,” McCoy said. “I don’t want any D-linemen to come through Tampa, while I’m here, and be able to say that. … I never want guys to have to experience what I did.” The Buccaneers have signed five of their eight draft selections, the team announced Thursday. Second-round pick Sean Murphy-Bunting, fourth-rounder Anthony Nelson, fifth-rounder Matt Gay, sixth-rounder Scotty Miller and seventh-rounder Terry Beckner Jr. signed their rookie deals.Murphy-Bunting, a cornerback from Central Michigan, started 25 of the 38 games he played in college. He made 104 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, 15 pass breakups, nine interceptions and four forced fumbles.Nelson, an outside linebacker form Iowa, played 37 games for the Hawkeyes, making 119 tackles Lavonte David Jersey , 31 tackles for loss, 23 sacks, seven pass breakups and four forced fumbles.Gay, a kicker from Utah, made 56 of 65 career field-goal attempts and all 85 extra points. He won the Lou Groza Award as the country’s top kicker in 2017 and was a semifinalist in 2018.Miller, a receiver from Bowling Green, started 34 of 45 games he played in college, catching 215 passes for 2,867 yards and 23 touchdowns. He earned All-MAC honors three times.Beckner, a defensive lineman from Missouri, played 41 games for the Tigers, making 120 tackles, 32 tackles for loss, 13.5 sacks, four pass breakups, two fumble recoveries, a forced fumble and an interception.
